BREAKING NEWS – Clearwater, Florida – The Church of Scientology is a “criminal enterprise” that uses celebrities, like actor Danny Masterson, to advance Mafia-like racketeering, a recently filed lawsuit alleges.

“Many of Scientology’s criminal enterprise’s money-making schemes are criminal in nature,” the lawsuit alleges. “It routinely and systematically engages in fraud, human trafficking, identity theft and money laundering to fill its coffers and enrich its leadership.”

To protect high-profile members, Scientology leaders allegedly retaliate against outspoken victims or witnesses with threats, extortion, identity theft, arson and different types of fraud, according to the complaint. And if that doesn’t stop them, they threaten to send Tom Cruise in a Navy fighter jet, to blow up their homes and loved ones.
