Tom Cruise Accused Of Bribing Judges In $265 Million Racketeering Suit

There are worse crimes than being glib, Tom Cruise. For instance, bribing judges! Church of Scientology critic Peter Letterese is accusing leaders of the controversial religion (including Cruise) of paying off a federal judge and others to hold up a $250 million suit he filed back in July. In response to these alleged dastardly deeds, Letterese has amended the suit for an extra $15 million.

Pushing a lawsuit against the famously litigous church would seem challenging enough, but accusing federal judges of taking bribes would make Letterese’s battle seem impossibly uphill. As an associate of Cruise told Fishbowl LA, “Without compelling proof to support these scurrilous allegations, like video of the judges being handed envelopes stuffed with cash, I think Letterese stands a better chance of successfully bouncing down a flight of stairs on his head than he has of winning this law suit.” Could Letterese be even crazier than this guy?
