ALT.SF4M L. Ron Hubbard 's CRIMINAL RECORD • Dilbert Perkins 30/12/2004 20:19:18 UTC Is someone with such a horrifying criminal record really qualified to be a spiritual leader? Ammended from: http://www.raids.org/whycrmnl.htm Founder L. Ron Hubbard had a criminal conviction for petty theft (for passing bad checks) and had a record of wife-beating and drug abuse, died on psych drugs while hiding from the authorities. Not only did his ex-wife and his own son describe him as a "paranoid schizophrenic" but a judge even described the cult he founded as "paranoid and schizophrenic" and stated that this was a "reflection of its founder." Among his other crimes, L. Ron Hubbard was sentenced to four years of prison for fraud by a French court, but he remained a fugitive from this charge as well. Hubbard was also a child abuser, who forced his son L. Ron Hubbard, Jr. to take amphetamines and who was fined $50 and sentenced to probation for abandoning his own daughter in a vehicle.
