If anyone else here did this sort of thing, advertise one thing (ashram for life and gotta pass the audition to get in!) and deliver something else (ashram for a little while then out in the streets!), then years later deny the what the original offering really was (it was a shelter for druggies).....and lives and fortunes and families were negatively impacted......wouldn't there be the potential for some kind of legal and/or financial reckoning?
I'm not a lawyer, but I hear there are some around here....maybe they know the ins and outs of this sort of thing.
