SCIENTOLOGY DRUG REHAB CENTER HIT WITH FIVE MORE LAWSUITS | The Underground Bunker

Scientology’s troubled flagship drug rehab facility in Oklahoma — Narconon Arrowhead — was hit with five additional lawsuits today, all filed by Gary Richardson, the attorney who is handling four other wrongful death and fraud suits against the center.

Three deaths at the facility in nine months (the last in July 2012) has resulted in local and state investigations, the Oklahoma legislature is this week considering a new bill to tighten regulation of the facility, and earlier this month Narconon Arrowhead’s CEO, Gary Smith, had his drug counselor certification permanently revoked.

And today, Gary Richardson filed five additional lawsuits against the facility, each of which is alleging that Narconon is a fraudulent business that advertises bogus success rates. Each of the suits names Narconon Arrowhead, Narconon International, and Scientology’s “good works” umbrella non-profit, the Association for Better Living and Education.

Also, for anyone doing research about Narconon, someone on Tony's site left a comment pointing out that there's some interesting reading here:

Hehehe.
There appear to be a growing number of lawyers who become specialists at suing the cult.
In time they will become better and better at it, for it has proven to be very lucrative.
This is capitalism at it's finest.

"Civil Conspiracy"

What a lovely ring that has!

<boner>

Well, let's see...
According to Scientology's own corporate chart, Narconon is under the ABLE umbrella, along with Applied Scholastics, TWTH Foundation and others. ABLE reports to RTC. It ain't rocket scientology. Their own chart shows NN to be part of Scientology.

If Narconon is found guilty, the plaintiffs can't sign a gag order. That would be concealing evidence and obstruction of justice!

There are a lot of victims speaking out. I read through several of those rip off reports and all I can say is WOW!

Thanks WG for quoting my post to this thread.

lol..........is 2.............

Thx Wrong Guy and Patriot for keeping us updated, it's long overdue, these increasing lawsuits may finally make them stop promoting absurd success rates that suck people in to this medically dangerous LRH 'Tech' that does not help in any way to treat drug addiction and is in reality a total scam that makes millions for Scientology and is used as a recruiting mechanism for the cult, it's 100% LRH quackery.

Up until now, Narconon (Scientology) has been able to deal with their problems one by one and make them vanish before the next one happened. Each family and lawyer has been starting from scratch against an experienced team of liars and lawyers.

The game has changed assholes!

5 More Lawsuits Filed Against Narconon Arrowhead Rehab Facility

By Tess Maune, News On 6

Excerpt:

In the suit filed by former student Sue Ann Newman and her sister, Dena Shobe, they claim Narconon offered them a no-interest loan to pay the $15,000 tuition. Two months after Newman was admitted to the facility, they allegedly told her that deal was never approved. Shobe then claims to have received credit cards in the mail, she claims were applied for in her name by Narconon, without her permission. The cards, with an interest rate of 23 percent, had $14,500 charged to them; the exact amount Narconon had billed her for her sister's treatment, the suit says.

John Bitinas, spokesperson for Narconon Arrowhead issued the following statement in response to the lawsuits:
"It is pretty clear that these lawsuits are financially motivated and have no foundation of truth contained in them. As in any lawsuit that is filed allegations are made which contain gossip and information that often times is not factual. It is in the courtroom where the truth will prevail. The Narconon organization has been helping people overcome drug and alcohol addiction in the United States for 47 years and in Oklahoma for 23 years. Narconon's mission has always been to help people overcome addiction and prevent kids from becoming addicts through our drug education and prevention programs. We are confident that justice will be served in these matters and Narconon will continue to achieve its purpose."

Actually, it's "Farcebook required for comments", not "Open comments".

I'm really starting to hate the way Farcebook is infiltrating into everything. Sort of reminds me of the Cof$.

That must be why the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientoilogy keeps settling these cases out of court. Like with the Patrick Desmond lawsuit.

I know! Try to think when the last time that a Narconon fought a court case to the bitter end...

I'm waiting.

by the same token, anyone suing NarCONon should fight until the bitter end and no settle, as otherwise it gives the impression they were wrong and only did it for the cashola, right?
