You Never Gave Me Your Money

While we're going broke by the minute, the amount of money NewAgers blow on charlatans - people who do, and will do, absolutely nothing but rip others off - is amazing. I was over at Jody Radzik's outstanding Guruphiliac and, after reading this (and a few others just like it) almost fell out of my chair:

"The [public interest litigation] was filed in the Madras High Court in November 2002 and apart from the ‘godman’ and his wife, several relatives including his son, NKV Krishna and his daugher-in-law Preetha were made respondents…

The report goes on to say that of this sum, Preetha had invested Rs 1.38 crore in the acquisition of shares. The report states that in a list that Krishna gave the Income Tax department, he has admitted that he, his wife and their companies and trusts owned as many as 33 vehicles. Giri also stated in the report that he had received gifts worth [over $1,000,000] and that they were mostly from abroad and 'that he could not say exactly that they were for the movement'. The donations were further given as gifts to various persons, as loans to various companies and he had also used a major part."

Meanwhile, people come here and give me mega-shit for requesting donations so I can get back to making music that will inspire my countrymen. Incredible.

Seriously, y'all have created a sick fucking world.
