  FYI, during the Conti trial in 2012 the figure that Plaintiff's attorney was given for what the Watchtower property was thought to be worth just in Brooklyn alone was $1 billion.

  If Kushner & Company purchased over $1 billion in property since 2013, and we know some of Watchtower's Brooklyn property was sold to other buyers (names and purchase price are available in city records), the information in this article helps in estimating Watchtower's wealth. And let's not forget, there's still more of their property for sale in Brooklyn.

  Attorneys just love to know what corporations are worth when they consider taking on lawsuits against them, so for future lawsuits, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Watchtower's worth in the US alone would be IN THE BILLIONS.

  White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will continue to hold personal stakes, possibly worth more than $150 million, in at least 40 New York City real estate entities, including some connected to Kushner Companies’ Dumbo Heights properties, new White House ethics disclosures show.
  

  Kushner and his partners have spent more than $1 billion acquiring the Dumbo properties from the Jehovah’s Witnesses since 2013.
  

  Ethics disclosures released by the White House Friday reveal that Kushner is not divesting from three Dumbo-linked LLCs. Those entities include “KC Dumbo Hotel, LLC,” likely connected to a planned hotel by hotelier Ian Schrager at one of the Dumbo Heights office conversions. The disclosure, which pegs the value of Kushner’s interest in the LLC at a maximum $5 million, includes an option to buy commercial real estate.
  

  Another LLC Kushner will hold collects office rent in Dumbo, and his interest in that one is worth up to $5 million as well.
  

  Much of Kushner Companies’ Dumbo office space is still in the pipeline, including 733,000 square feet of space at the Watchtower building.

  The Corpse in the Kremlin's Front Yard Tests the Strength of Putin's Faith

  Simon Shuster

  April 21, 2017

  As that ruling came down, a separate scandal was unfolding in the Russian parliament over another of the Church’s demands – this one far more consequential for the Orthodox faith than any competition it might face from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. A group of lawmakers, including members of Putin’s party, had proposed a bill calling for the burial of Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary and founder of the Soviet Union, whose body has been on display in Red Square since his death in 1924.
  

  In an astounding victory for the Orthodox Church, Russia’s highest court ordered the “liquidation” of the local branch of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, whose missionary work the government had deemed “extremist,” in no small part because it posed a challenge to the teachings of the Orthodox clergy.
  

  The ties between Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church were tested twice this week – by coincidence, on the same day, April 20 – and with two very different outcomes.

  Authorities ignored Gold Coast photographer's child sex crimes

  Ed Jackson

  Almost 40 years after first admitting his offences, a Gold Coast man has been convicted of sexually abusing a young girl in the late 1970s.

  Edward Sawden, 69, was given a wholly suspended two-year prison sentence at the Southport District Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to eight counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16.

  Sawden, a surfboard shaper and photographer, who has work on display at the National Potrait Gallery, pleaded guilty to abusing the girl on several occasions between 1977 and 1979.
  

  The ex-competitive surfer admitted to touching and digitally penetrating the girl at several locations including while swimming and in his bed.
  

  She was eight years old when the abuse began, the court heard.
  

  After the girl's mother discovered his abuse, Sawden first confessed to his local church and also admitted he had committed the offences to the Department of Child Services sometime between 1981 and 1982, the court was told.

  Jehovah Witness charged with historic child sex offences

  Friday, 21 April 2017 3:11AM

  

  A member of the Jehovah Witness congregation will appear in court next month after he was charged with historic child sex offences.
  

  Child Abuse squad detectives charged the 72-year-old over alleged offences against a girl between 1979 and 1982.
  

  It will be alleged the man sexually assaulted the girl, who was 11 at the time of the first offence, in the towns of Narrogin, Windy Harbour and Katanning.
  

  “During this time, the man was an active member of the Katanning Jehovah Witness congregation,” a police spokesperson said.
  

  The man has been charged with a string of child sex offences including indecent dealing, unlawful carnal knowledge of girls under 16 and deprivation of liberty.
  

  The man was charged on Thursday after ongoing investigations from the Royal Commission into institutional child sex offences.
  

  The 72-year-old will appear in the Katanning Magistrates Court on May 16.
  

  If you are or have been a victim of child sexual abuse, or if you have information about someone being abused, call police on 131 444.

  President signs bill to raise penalties for crimes against children

  

  President signs bill to raise penalties for crimes against children (1 / 9)

  President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday signed into law an amendment to the Penal Code aggravating penalties for criminal acts against the life, health and freedom of children.

  In question are such acts as aggravated battery, kidnapping, abandonment or child trafficking.
  President Duda said that the signed law aims at greater legal and penal protection of minors, especially minors below 15 years of age and helpless persons. He added the law also aims to protect the weakest, those most prone to being harmed and who have difficulties with finding support. I deeply believe that the amendment of the penal law will improve the existing legal protection of all persons below 15 years of age, stressed the president.

  The president noted that the law was an effect of cooperation of the government commissioner for children’s rights protection and the commissioner for patients' rights. Apart from raising penalties for criminal acts against the life, health and freedom of children, the law also penalises the failure to inform authorities about such crimes. (PAP)

  KAZAKHSTAN: Lawyers now face trial for defending client
  

  April 3, 2017
  

  By Felix Corley, Forum 18
  

  The two lawyers for a Jehovah's Witness now on trial in Astana are themselves under criminal investigation. The KNB secret police investigator accuses them of "revealing information from a pre-trial investigation" by appealing to President Nazarbayev for the case against their client to be halted.
  

  Kazakhstan's National Security Committee (KNB) secret police has opened a criminal case against two lawyers defending a Jehovah's Witness on trial for exercising freedom of religion and belief. Vitaly Kuznetsov and Natalya Kononenko are facing criminal investigation seeking to punish them for appealing to Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev for the charges against their client to be dropped. Charges were brought against the lawyers even before the trial they were working on began in the capital Astana.
  
  The KNB secret police accuses Kuznetsov and Kononenko of "revealing information from a pre-trial investigation" under Criminal Code Article 423. Kuznetsov described the accusation to Forum 18 as "absurd". An Astana-based legal specialist told Forum 18 the accusation was "bizarre" (see below).
  
  Astana Prosecutor's Office handed the case to Asilzhan Gabdykaparov of the General Prosecutor's Office, it told Forum 18 on 3 April. His telephone went unanswered the same day.
  
  KNB Major Medet Duskaziyev – who initiated the criminal cases against Jehovah's Witnesses Teymur Akhmedov and Asaf Guliyev, as well as the two lawyers Kuznetsov and Kononenko – refused to answer any of Forum 18's questions on 30 March.
