Footing the $1 bllion bill. The Times's sole financial backer is Sun Myung Moon, an ex-convict at the center of the '70s Koreagate influence-peddling scandal. According to a recent report in the New Yorker, he's invested $1 billion since the early 1980s in the money-losing Republican newspaper, embraced early by the GOP as an organ for the conservative message (At right: Ronald Reagan and Times publisher Bo Hi Pak.)
Scamming old ladies in Japan out of $622 million+. By naming Japan "the mother nation," Moon designated it the cash cow for his enterprises. This was reported in the New York Times: A legion of Japanese lawyers are seeking to recover millions of dollars in life savings, lost during the church's 1990s campaign to sell exorbitantly priced religious artifacts to naive old people unassociated with Moon's church. Twenty thousand victims, with claims totalling 74 billion yen (about 622 million U.S. dollars), are seeking reparations. One victim of the so-called Spiritual Sales, "Mrs. A," was talked into donating about $200,000 from her dead husband's life insurance policy, to purify the old man's lineage. Unification disciples told her:
"Your husband is suffering in Hell and is seeking your help. Your daughters will suffer misfortune too if you do not donate money with the feeling that you want to sacrifice everything you own and offer it to heaven."
Selling to the Axis of Evil. When he's not manufacturing concealable handguns in the U.S. or land mines for South Korea, Moon has a good thing going with Kim Jong-Il, dictator of North Korea, for whom Moon's company is manufacturing cars.
He also owns Wacom. Just thought you graphic designers out there would like to know.
