Ikeda and his lists of traitors/enemies
"Do other religious leaders, other than President Ikeda, have lists of traitors that they read or have someone read at leaders' meetings? I heard from a paid staff leader that this has been done consistently in Japan for a few years. George Williams is on the list now, and that is where the bad rumors about him are coming from. His traitor status is rumored to be that he "thought" about going with the temple. Other traitors on the list are leaders who didn't fully support Pres. Ikeda in 1979, and there are more on there for different reasons.
This is the first I'd heard about this reading of a list of traitors. Made me nauseous." Source
Articles from www.culthelpinfo.org say that SGI Japan has been involved with election fraud, insurance fraud, bribery...things that you might also expect the Yakuza to take an interest in. Ikeda's having a list of enemies -- doesn't that just sound like something a Mafia don would do, too? But again -- while that doesn't sound like the behavior of a Buddhist leader, it's also not evidence that he has Yakuza ties. Source
