From burn burn burn Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 08:23 (Agree/Disagree?) SY. [personally identifiable information removed at request of individual] SY owns a removal company in Tokyo, as well as collects money, from unsuspecting people, for a non-existent school he set up in India (the whole project is a scam; 90% of the money goes to TF in India). He is in the country on a work visa that was obtained fraudulently; in order to renew it he forges his tax returns annually. SY is a classic over-sexed washed-up deluded Family member.

From monger Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 09:11 (Agree/Disagree?) A couple points... - In the past, there most definitely was some form of school in India he was helping to support. However, I don't know the current status of that school (and yes it was your average Family CTP-type project, but that doesn't in any way make it a bad thing). - I seriously doubt 90% of the money he makes goes to India, as I'm pretty sure he doesn't make enough dough to support his family on 10% of their income.(reply to this comment)

From King Peter Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 08:47 (Agree/Disagree?) Yes I agree. A few years back SY did indeed have some sort of set up to help poor children in Goa. But it was far from, by any standards, a school. TF in Goa ran it and, it was only open once a week. SY collected donations from Japan to support that project. However, I know for a fact, most of the money (donated) went to paying the wages of Family members who "taught" the children. The school no longer exists; SY still collecting donations (!?!).

From Mo's little helper Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 08:31 (Agree/Disagree?) wasn't his son, Jono, partially excommunicated for molesting little girls? Or was that SY? (reply to this comment)

From monger Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 09:14 (Agree/Disagree?) I know little of SY's history in the Family, but I *strongly* doubt Jono ever did any such thing. (reply to this comment)

From benni Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 08:53 (Agree/Disagree?) Jono was partially excommunicated from TF in 2004 for having 'sexual contact' with a underage girl. He remains in TF. (reply to this comment)

From news snoop Friday, April 08, 2005, 20:16 (Agree/Disagree?) We heard that the "Chiba C.A.S.H. Home" is quite rich. Mark exports a lot of cars to England. He donates a lot of cash to The Family and missionaries going to other countries.(reply to this comment)

If you want to cause trouble for them, give them the address of: The New Blades home (Cro Home) The Cash home (Mark makes a lot of money for the fam) The Chiba Cro home (Steven cro) Those three are likely the most important family homes in Japan. Sorry bout that. Just woke up. (reply to this comment)

from Shaka Friday, April 08, 2005 - 15:10 (Agree/Disagree?) I'm pretty sure that there are several Family homes or Family funded charities in Japan listed on the FCF website. (reply to this comment)
