“Accusations of abuse based on recovered memories are all about money.”
“Maxwell’s defense team [including Elizabeth Loftus, hired as expert witness] contended that her accusers had been manipulated by “self-interested civil lawyers and a desire for a big jackpot of money.”” [1]
“Belief in pandemic repression of abuse… is probably the greatest trump card against self-responsibility that has ever been devised. The numbers of persons opting into this debilitating bog are legion, as are those others eager to feast financially and egoistically.” - Gladden Schrock, at the FMSF Day of Contrition Conference. [2]
