Good Afternoon Outer Bankers.

Please give a warm welcome to Michael Silverman

Michael Silverman was a Reg. A Sales person. Upper Sea Org Management and Michael always had a love/hate relationship. The public loved him, especially in the lower orgs. Michael always had a smile on his face like he was plotting something great which was about to happen.

He was admired very much by the public in the lower orgs, and the staff as well. He would go on tour and do magic tricks like an entertainer. What management *Loved* was that he effortlessly made money for AOLA. 1970s to 1990s. Though management liked the fact that he made money, they hated the fact that he had a following. He was a very smart, very funny guy, and was always controversial.

He was married to Sea org member Ruthie Silverman (RIP) but she disconnected from him as soon as he got declared.

In 1989 he got the new Miscavige invented "provisional SP declare" which is supposed to intimidate you into being *good* so that it does not become an ACTUAL SP declare. LOLOLOL.

Mike lived through it all, multiple RPFs to tame him down ~~. He did the gory 1993 RPF (the gulag for mind control).

I can state in black and white I loved this guy.

Mike was too much of a rebel or renegade to fit in. He remained his own man, unique, fun, daring, pushing the envelope, even having sex (Lord almighty ~~ forgive us all) when he was on Tour. Can you imagine how criminal an act that is ???? LOL.

In the 1990s after serving some 20 years in the Sea Org and living through the ups and downs Michael was declared a Suppressive person.

Welcome to our SP party on line Michael.

Please give Michael a warm welcome.

The cult had a way to gouge more money $$$$$$ by selling economy "packages"

example: Bundles of intensives purchased in one go, *clear* package, OT 3 package etc.

Michael was never a Company man.

He had math capabilities and did workarounds.

No one could ever figure out what he did, dubbed as "Brazilian Arithmetic"

He sold packages that were unsolvable in dollars and cents but the end result was that the pc got MORE hours.Therefore there was *less* regging, and less money being gouged.

He always favored the public. Management was seething (contributed to his SP declare) and Michael had that secret smile on his face.....

Karen De La Carriere I have to admit that Brazilian math was my secret weapon. Giving the public services that could actually be covered by the money they paid earlier...paralleled "deliver what you promise" and that's the argument I threw at upper management whenever I got attacked (quite often ..)

Fly high Mike, one of a kind..RIP
