Class Action Lawsuit: Update

Fearful to testify under oath about School and to turn over School's financial records, defendants Greg Koch, Lorraine Imlay, Minerva Taylor, Ken Salaz, OSG, and the Estate for Sharon Gans have made a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.  Koch, Imlay, Taylor and Salaz ("KITS") inherited OSG from Sharon Gans.

In its motion, KITS expresses annoyance that that the suit contains "scandalous, prejudicial, and completely unsupported allegations" and frets that the lawsuit mentions the "scurrilous" 2019 New York Post feature about School.

The class action, which seeks to reimburse victims who were duped into being unpaid servants for Gans, is dubbed a "shakedown" by KITS. These victims are, according to KITS, people who are "apparent[ly] disappoint[ed] in how their lives turned out." 

Sounding a lot like Sharon who tormented and publicly humiliated her followers, KITS says that the plaintiffs who brought the suit "seek to blame their apparent lack of self-improvement upon OSG and other study group participants." 

Finally, in complete contradiction to what they told me for 23 years, KITS argues that the aims of School –– to evolve/improve –– are "impossible to measure" and "wholly subjective." 

In closing, KITS says that, "at best, this case is about unmet hopes and expectations." 

The motion is now before the Honorable Justice Lori S. Sattler and is sub judice.
