Unification Church ordered to pay Y280 mil over fraudulent sales

TOKYO — The Tokyo District Court ordered the Unification Church on Tuesday to pay about 280 million yen in damages to a woman who said she was swindled of a large amount of money under the religious group's fraudulent sales campaign.

Judge Masazumi Hashimoto ruled that the church, founded in South Korea, illegally made the plaintiff feel insecure and frightened her and forced her to donate money and purchase expensive goods. The church threatened the plaintiff by saying her "family line will fail" or she would "fall into hell," the judge said, declaring such acts illegal.

do people even fall for that kind of swindle in the first place? Religions such as this target mentally weak people and should all be outlawed anyway. These moonies to the Aleph to the Jehovas. Come on Japan. you did a good job resisting christianity. now the cults.

I hope this line of crap isn't what they're using to hold so much sway in Washington these days.
