Well, that is a relief.
... Lord knows, I've taken enough Scientology classes, gotten enough Scientology counseling, spent enough years and enough money on the Church, that I understand it well enough to crush pretty much any Rondroid who needs it all by myself.
That being said, they don't all need it. Scientology has a lot of genuinely good people, who are benefiting from the application of 'The Tech'.
The organization OTOH is morally corrupt at the highest levels.
I believe that L. Ron Hubbard was murdered by some of those caring for him.
The people who took over the Church had:
Motive up the wazoo, the Hubbard millions, power over a vast number of fanatically loyal members. (Hubbard signed a brand new Will turning over total control of the Church to his minions only hours before his death).
Opportunity since they were the only people in daily contact with Ron, and total control over what he ate, who he saw, and all information he received.
Means Hubbard died of cerebral hemorrhage. He was being given medical doses of coumodin, a product which is also sold under the brand name Warfarin™. It is a rat poison, that causes death by hemorrhage. Any one of his care givers could have "adjusted" his dose.
Motive-Oportunity-Means. That's all a circumstantial case needs.
And then there's the coverup.
Hubbard was under the care of Dr. Gene Denk, and under California law being under a physician's care eliminates the requirement for an autopsy. Although one could have been requested, there was no autopsy.
The body was cremated within 24 hours of death, and the ashes scattered at sea. No more pesky evidence.
This was said to be in accordance with his religious practices. Curiously, there were no writings calling for cremation in existence prior to his death...
