>I had no idea that the economy affected Prem Rawat the same way it affected the rest of us, being downsized and minimized...

Even his economic situation has been trimmed back, not just ours...he did have to sell his yacht, right? <

Selling the Yacht was necessitated by sheer financial incompetance over the development albatross that is Amaroo. And of course John Macgregor blowing the whistle on the very questionable accounting activities of IRCC meant that a large financial hole had to be filled very quickly.

 EV has wasted another $250,000 trying to keep JohnM silenced, without much success unless one counts the intimidation of John's friends - including their children - as some kind of success. Any difficulties that Rawat and EV are experiencing are purely of their own making and nothing to do with the Macro economy.
