The San Diego Ideal Org property is for sale: http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/16699714/7380-Parkway-Drive-La-Mesa-CA/ ...and yet, they are still shilling for donations to buy the property (sci-site proxy pl0x) http://www.scientology-sandiego.com/idealorg/ Google IC3. It's better than ICWiener!
I'm not a lawyer but here is my opinion anyway. It's not fraud unless you can get someone who donated money to file a complaint.
I'll email Robert (Bob) Duggan and ask him if he is going to donate millions more for the San Diego Ideal Org.

The seller of the land, at 7380 Parkway Drive, was the Los Angeles-based Church of Scientology International, according to CoStar Group and public data. American Pacific Investments represented the buyer, and Sentre Partners represented the seller. Source: http://sdbj.com/news/2013/sep/03/church-scientology-sells-la-mesa-land-93-million/
Is this a pattern? Sell real estate because service-based income from scientology is rapidly declining?
They are selling off the old buildings to make way for the Ideal orgs. It is just another part of the scam.
Is there a recent history of property sales or could it be the building needs major refurbishment? Either way it's worth watching.
Financially, they play shell games and move things around. They have millions stashed all over the place, and they are good at utilising tax shelters in offshore accounts. I would be curious to see what the original property was purchased for , who they purchased it from, and whose name is on the current escrow.
what with not less than one of the IAS fundraisers out and writing about it, I think the time might be ripe to have this sent in front of a jury to find out what they think. Now is a good time to sue IMHO - David "he is NOT insane!" Miscavige is horribly busy micro-managing the building-formerly-known-as-the-Super-Power-Building and the training of staff for it and so on and so forth. And the funds available to pay compensation to make lawsuits go away has not been emptied. Yet.
The Super Power building may have become a lower priority, with Miscavige being tied up with his current "project": https://whyweprotest.net/community/...suit-against-cos-for-harassment.113178/page-7
