Put your Scientology Hat back on folks. The lawyers are doing this as part of the "smoke and mirrors" - they want to confuse us. They do everything for money - not for justice and don't care how they get paid...as long as they DO get paid.
I think they are all in on it.
If you don't think so - you have not had the full EP and Total Knowingness wognition of What is Scientology.
Lawyers, Marty Rathbun and Wife Mosey and of course.... David Miscavige and his hired thugs.
Sticking with that theory are you? I admit, I considered pretty early on that the attorneys were paid off by CoS to stay quiet, but I thought of it as a remote possibility. That in itself would be terribly risky for Ray because he could be disbarred if details came out.
But if bringing this investigation into Marty's finances is part of it, it would make it even more risky for something to come out, so I'm thinking it's very unlikely.
The reason I thought it was possible was that, at first, in the Debbie Cook case, it appeared there was no settlement. Tony kept insisting there was no settlement, while we were all speculating on how many millions she got. Then it came out there was a settlement. I forgot how that came out. But it seemed as though maybe the Church wanted to make it such that it wasn't obvious they paid a settlement at first, and if Ray was complicit with that, well...
And, frankly, making Wayne and Debbie relocate to Guadeloupe was totally bizarre. Neither of them spoke French and it's a French territory which has a reputation for not being easy or friendly to outsiders. After a year, then they were allowed to go to Mexico, which was an easier place for them to live, I'm sure.
So there are two things I can think of which support your theory. One is the sheer bizarre and elaborate nature of what Wayne and Debbie were made to do in order to get their settlement, and how the settlement was not announced at first.
The other thing in support of your theory is that how could Marty or the cult risk such a foot bullet. The only way they wouldn't is if they could work something out with ALL parties involved, and Marty could be sure he would get his money and not have to go through further legal wrangling, and that CoS would take care of it all.
The way it is now, Marty is going to have a hell of a time trying to find an attorney. If he does, he's going to have to pay them a lot of cash up front. Maybe CoS will give him the money to do that?
But let's go along with your theory. What would happen next? Will Ray find something and make it look like Marty or CoS has to pay a fine, but in reality they all get more money under the table? That would be the only thing which would be safe for Marty.
People are saying Marty is stupid, or did something very stupid. But with all that Marty knows about DM and CoS, I can't see him going forward on something like this without it being ironclad for him.
The CoS has already done something I never would have predicted, by having Marty make these stupid videos and then putting an exclamation point on it by allowing them to be linked to their smear site.
High mortgage, even with a large downpayment.
