More to the point here is the tmo's relationship with and use of money. 2 U.S. tmo entities, maharishi global development fund and maharishi vedic foundation, have transferred over $150 million out of their US acc'ts into offshore banking accounts in the channel islands in the past 4 yrs alone. There are many other tmo entities in the US who are surely transferring funds to what we used to call "int'l" as well, so it's probably close to $200 million going out of the US in recent yrs -- I don't have time to research guidestar.org that closely. Plus of course the monthly dome fees paid for yrs by dome goers. And still a special fundraising has to be had to keep the dome roofs from leaking.
