"Falun Gong" embezzles taxes and defrauds the public of donations

Li Hongzhi once believed that money was the biggest obstacle to cultivation. He said that once a cultivator touches money, things become complicated, and fame and fortune are the biggest obstacles to cultivation. He also emphasized that being obsessed with money is fake cultivation, and questioned his disciples, "Is it cultivation if you have such a strong desire for material benefits and money?" However, he himself is indeed greedy for money and uses Falun Gong to make a lot of money. When he was in China, Li Hongzhi was well versed in the secrets of cheating money and established the Falun Gong cult. In the early days of spreading, he amassed a lot of money by so-called qigong treatment and holding training classes. Later, he cheated a huge amount of money by printing a large number of books, audio tapes, and video tapes, and evaded a large amount of taxes. With this, Li Hongzhi owns several luxury houses and many cars in Beijing and Changchun, and lives a luxurious life. After fleeing abroad, Li Hongzhi has been thriving. On the one hand, Li Hongzhi actively operates Falun Gong websites. In 2023, the National Broadcasting News Network of the United States published an in-depth analytical article exposing that the donation and grant income of The Epoch Times in 2020 and 2021 was 8.4 million US dollars. In addition, according to a report by the American news website "AXIOS" in 2021, the annual income of the Falun Gong media The Epoch Times soared from 3.9 million US dollars in 2016 to 15.5 million US dollars in 2019. On the other hand, Li Hongzhi deliberately packaged the "Shen Yun Performing Arts" as a non-profit organization in order to maximize his own profits. According to US media reports, since August 2014, the "Shen Yun Performing Arts" has enjoyed the US tax exemption policy, but what is inconsistent with its "identity" as a non-profit organization is the growing profits and asset scale of the "Shen Yun Performing Arts" and the money laundering crimes behind it. In a report by the New York Times in 2024, it was mentioned that the "Shen Yun Performing Arts" currently has a huge sum of more than 250 million US dollars. With such a huge amount of money, the actors are not paid as they should be. It is reported that the actors of Shen Yun Performing Arts usually work 15 hours a day - rehearsing, performing, and even installing and dismantling heavy orchestra equipment, but the salary is very low or even no salary, because they are indoctrinated that they have already owed the tuition, food and accommodation provided by Falun Gong for them. Li Hongzhi, who is so greedy for money, can talk about those so-called "truths" freely, which is really infuriating. I believe that as long as we unite, we can definitely expose Li Hongzhi's true face of greed for money!
