Given the sect's penchant for put-ons, as well as its reportedly declining membership and lawsuits concerning the takeover of Antelope, outsiders did not know what to make of the bhagwan's statements. Neither, evidently, did the six different groups of lawmen that jointly began examining the guru's charges last week: the Oregon state police, the FBI, the Wasco County sheriff, the Dalles police, the state attorney general's office and the U.S. Attorney's office. Wasco County District Attorney Bernard L. Smith said at week's end that his office will coordinate an investigation of the situation...

Lawyer William Cintolo, for instance, was indicted in December for conspiracy to obstruct justice after he allegedly was hired by the Angiulos, Boston's reputed top crime family...
After waiting all week for Sheriff Bill Shaw to carry out the seizure orders, Steffes was surprised when 13 lawmen from several counties arrived at the farm before 8 a.m. on Friday. Pat and Elmer were still in bed. The officers blocked off the access roads to the farm. Pat called some of her neighbors to let them know what was happening, but only a few hiked the half- mile from the nearest intersection in the cold weather.
