  • • Amodeo not only dreamed of taking over several former Soviet Republics, such as Tajikistan, and poor African nations, including Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo), but he also wanted to control their economies and telecommunications through Mirabilis. And in the process, he would force governments to dissolve, the doctor said.
    • "In this case, Mr. Amodeo was expressing the ability to tell the future, the ability to transmute molecules, rule the Earth and establish the Terran empire. . . . In my opinion, it's reached psychotic proportions."
    • The Internal Revenue Service seized $13.3 million in real estate
    • Amodeo was disbarred as a Georgia bankruptcy lawyer in 1994 and later went to federal prison for defrauding a client.
