This was just a small Org. Life at the Flag Land Base must be far more restrictive and intense.

START QUOTED SECTION:
Inside the Org:
Staff routinely worked 80–90 hrs a week with no pay except small commissions.
Executives, led by Jeanie Sonenfild, enforced Sea Org-style discipline and redirected all effort toward fundraising for the “Ideal Org.”
Confidential case data was openly discussed in meetings, and staff were forbidden to date or have sex unless “engaged,” a control borrowed from Sea Org rules.
When someone tried to blow:
The HAS (Ghafoor Khan) and Ethics / OSA team (Thalia Durich, née Ghiglia) launched a local “blow drill.” Phones, car keys, and even passports were seized; staff were physically blocked from leaving.
The Qual Sec (Andy Hoosier) or another auditor would run a “metered interview” to extract written confessions before the person was allowed out the door.
A coerced Leaving Staff Routing Form and affidavit were signed under duress to protect the Church’s PR.
After a blow:
The person was secretly declared SP. OSA and HCO spread “Dead Agent” rumors, and all staff were ordered to un-friend or disconnect.
Blame was assigned to whoever “failed to handle the blow,” often resulting in group punishment or loss of privileges.
Fundraising continued as if nothing happened—management only cared that stats not crash.
Collapse and Aftermath:
By 2011 the Org was imploding: major donors, auditors, and long-time public walked away.
In 2013 Roiger wrote that life had never been better since leaving: he married, built a home, and joked, “Was I supposed to pay off a six-figure freeloader bill? SUCK IT!”
TL;DR:
Cincinnati ran like a mini-Sea Org base—forced labor, financial coercion, physical detention, and retaliation when anyone tried to leave. Roiger’s thread documents the entire cycle from inside the command structure and matches what many ex-staff, like myself, later confirmed.
