The WTS is begging poor relatives of mine for money, more money, and more money. But, the WTS has to be awash in money!
1. Does anyone know what the WTS has sold? Brooklyn, Switzerland branch, etc?
2. Can we each pick a sold location and find out the selling price and date? Newspaper articles, property tax assessor sites, may hold the answer? Please put a link to your figure, if you are able.

I am sure they are selling off some properties in Mill Hill, London. I know some Bethelites have had to move into new accomodation, but I can't find any info about these sales.

This was all I could find. It's not really much evidence of how much money was made, but you can get an idea. Kate xx

Kate nothing in Mill Hill has been sold yet and is not up for sale
I thought the US property sales had been frozen because of the Candace Conti case.
WOW - Sounds like they definitely have a plan. Safety - or better suited (new/better facilities) for their evil business.
