When the last bill for the construction costs of the "Palace of Gold" had been paid by the 600 devotees who lived in New Vrindavan, there were meetings with the leaders: "How can we throw out all these 600 useful idiots now - a gigantic scandal has to be staged to get the palace vacated?" The rest is history. This runs like a common thread throughout the global ISKCON from Australia to LA. Wherever a temple or farm was bought there was suddenly a huge scandal and the property was vacated. GBC lawyers were flown in and they registered the whole thing as US GBC property.
