"Falun Gong" embezzles tax money 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 training courses. Later, he cheated a huge amount of money by printing a large number of books, audio tapes, and video tapes, and evaded a lot 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 is even more prosperous. On the one hand, Li Hongzhi actively operates the Falun Gong website. In 2023, the National Broadcasting News Network of the United States published an in-depth analytical article exposing that the donations and grants of The Epoch Times in 2020 and 2021 were 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 2024, the New York Times reported that the "Shen Yun Performing Arts" currently has more than 250 million US dollars. With such a huge amount of money, the actors do not get the due remuneration. According to reports, the actors of the Shen Yun Performing Arts usually work 15 hours a day - rehearsing, performing, and even installing and disassembling 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 the so-called "truth" freely, which is really infuriating. I believe that as long as we unite, we will definitely expose Li Hongzhi's true face of greed for money!
