— Marty “Kingpin” Rathbun in his foreword to Marc Headley’s self-published diatribe

Believe it or not, Rathbun and Headley’s views still differ greatly. In particular, while Rathbun claims to be a Scientologist (even if only in his dreams), Headley is now a fervid anti-Scientologist who never misses an opportunity to publicly denigrate the religion and its Founder.

Nonetheless, Rathbun penned the foreword to the book Headley hawks on the Net—all in emphasis of the fact that any enemy of the Church is a tacit friend of his.

On the other hand, if Headley thought he might possibly—however remotely—spike sales by including Kingpin between the covers, he was once again sorely mistaken. Given Headley’s Church-hating crowd despise Rathbun with equal zeal, and the rest of Rathbun’s Posse don’t exactly love Headley, the whole cross-promotion idea turned out to be a dud.

In truth, the only way Kingpin might have helped Headley sell a few books is if he had “commanded” members of his apostate Posse to buy one. At least that would have amounted to six or seven copies right there—and those kinds of numbers constitute a “bestseller” in the disgruntled apostate book trade.

Rathbun penned the foreword to the book Headley hawks on the Net—all in emphasis of the fact that any enemy of the Church is a tacit friend of his.

As for the book itself, it purports to be the story of why and how Headley left the Church. That said, it is missing a few key chapters: namely those that reveal the real motivations behind his exit and subsequent excommunication. So, in the interest of accurate reportage, the following chapter summaries fill in the gaps of Headley’s personal account...

The first chapter is entitled, “The Embezzler.” It tells of how Headley, while still working for the Church, teamed with a criminal audiovisual supplier. Among the sordid details revealed here are Headley’s under-the-table negotiations with the company and the system they devised to fast-track payment of bogus purchase orders. The crooked A/V outlet fraudulently collected better than $200,000 but the ring was busted before Headley could collect his share of the loot.

Next is the chapter aptly called, “I Did It My Way On eBay.” It chronicles Headley’s next get-rich-quick scheme. This is the one wherein he sold Church-owned property on the auction site, secretly funneling more than $15,000 into his personal bank account. It’s here the threads of Headley’s book neatly interweave with real events. For he tells of how he hopped on his motorcycle and headed for the hills, but omits the fact his hasty departure was prompted by the discovery of his eBay enterprise. So, as he was about to be caught red-handed, he got the hell out of Dodge. As a footnote, his wife Claire soon followed suit, making her unannounced exit shortly thereafter.

So, no, Headley’s “autobiography” doesn’t exactly tell the whole tale. It also doesn’t include the details of the couples’ exploits since leaving the Church. Hence, the chapters outlined below.

Title the first “Mr. and Mrs. Anonymous,” owing to the fact the Headleys are placard-carrying members of the cyberterrorist group. In emphasis thereof, Marc traveled to Germany to take his place on the dais at a 2010 Anonymous gathering. It’s rumored they even bought miniature Anonymous masks for their little ones so the whole clan could march together in Anonymous protests.

Then there is the one called “Marc Under Oath.” This one is all about Marc sitting in deposition wherein he admitted to anonymously selling salacious stories concerning the Church and parishioners to equally salacious tabloids. Headley was forced to reveal not only the names of the publications, but the paychecks as well. One story alone, snapped up by the ethically bereft and now defunct News of the World, paid Headley $10,000. And the narrative continues with the chapter “Family Lawsuits.” It centers on the frivolous husband-and-wife suits the Headleys filed against the Church. A federal judge heard their cases in a Los Angeles courtroom, whereupon she promptly tossed both out “on their merits and with prejudice.” Not only did the Headleys stumble out of court without the millions they had been banking on, the judge ordered the couple to pay the Church’s court costs totaling more than $40,000.

Then, of course, there is their recent chapter—the one called “Blowing Town.” It begins with Marc walking out on his business partner and straight into the bank, where he emptied every dime from the corporate account. Then, in the dead of night, the Headleys packed up the last of their belongings and set out for Denver, Colorado—leaving a foreclosed home and a pile of debt behind in California.

Such is the true and complete story of Marc Headley and his wife Claire, apostates and media whores. As this final chapter comes to a close, their book is complete. So, for Mr. and Mrs. Anonymous, this is… The End.
