Hello to scopionland. Very difficult to track the $$, most of which seems to be going into offshore or Indian accts. In the US non-profits must file public financial statements. In the late 1990s the tmo non-profits had quite a lot of money on record, hundreds of millions - much was lost in the stock market crash of 2000-2001, some seems to have been transferred to tmo offshore accts, what remains is mainly in real estate. Supposedly Mr. Zimmerman who was sponsoring the pundit project in the 80s got skeptical and did some financial detective work and subsequently pulled out of the project and detached from MMY. Supposedly the Kaplans have also done similar detective work tracing the money to private indian accts. But none of these findings have been made public. Steve Briggs and a few others have filed reports here on their experiences in India, verifying several pundit projects in progress, though not as much as advertised. Talking to people coming back from yrs in India gives you stories of money being siphoned off by the nephews with estimates ranging from 20% to 75%. Some feel it's just the cost of doing business in India, others feel it's more sinister, others feel it's just well intentioned incompetence, some feel a sickly MMY is being scammed by indians, others feel he's being blackmailed by his family.
