If you really, really want to be blown away by an incredible, horrible, compelling yarn, read the Wikipedia article on L. Ron Hubbard, the founder and prophet of Scientology.

L. Ron Hubbard was a completely insane sociopath.The story of his life and Scientology would make 10 good movies, or a least a fascinating miniseries.

How does someone like this get away with grifting and crime year, after year, after year without every paying the consequences? He was the ultimate con man in every facet of his life. Take a look at the Wikipedia article for a real eyeopener.

Oh, believe me, I'm well aware of L Ron Hubbard's true personality.

Read "Madman or Messiah" by Bent Corydon, or read the overview of the book at Wikipedia.
