An offer of compensation via chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings to ISKCON Gurukulis who agree NOT to sue ISKCON.RE: TURLEY SUIT / GURUKULI & OTHER YOUTH ABUSE CLAIMS
URGENT - VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE RE JUNE 30, 2003, DEADLINE FOR FILING CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY COURT
Dear Prabhus:
There is new and very important information regarding the Turley Suit / Gurukuli abuse claims. The bankruptcy court has established JUNE 30, 2003, as the last day that those who believe they have claim must file their Proof of Claim Forms. It is important to note that Proof of Claims forms must be RECEIVED by both the California and West Virginia Bankruptcy Courts by JUNE 30, 2003, and not simply mailed on that date. Any claimsreceived by the courts after June 30, 2003, will be disallowed, and the claimants may be forever barred from receiving compensation. These rules are set by the bankruptcy court, so please carefully read the Legal Notice at the end of this article in order meet all the requirements.
In an effort to find and contact all who may have claims, including any students who may have been abused in Krishna gurukulas in the 1970′s and 1980′s, the Legal Notice is being posted on websites such as this one. Additionally, on April 30, 2003, the Legal Notice was published in various international newspapers. These Legal Notices are part of the Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan that will be submitted to Federal Bankruptcy Courts in West Virginia and California by the eleven Krishna temples that filed for Chapter 11 in March, 2002.
As many of you may know, in June, 2000, the Dallas law firm of Windle Turley filed a $400 million lawsuit on behalf of 91 plaintiffs in the US. Federal Court in Dallas, Texas. The defendants included the eleven temples that have filed for Chapter 11, as well as a number of individuals. That suit was dismissed by the federal court in September, 2001, but was re-filed in Texas state court in October, 2001.
The millions of dollars sought in that lawsuit could close many of Krishna
