But they’ve filed no public papers about their finances. Temple of the Universe is registered with the IRS as a religion and has non profit tax status.

He has lots of followers, but I’m not sure you could call it an actual cult. He started something called the Temple of the Universe outside of Gainesville, Florida. After his long adventure with the government, Singer–who was an early software multi-millionaire in the medical systems field–became a guru. Now Singer will appear on Oprah’s Sunday Soul show this weekend on OWN. Later, the people actually convicted by the government had their verdicts overturned based on a lapsed statute of limitations. Singer acknowledged that the accounting practices of his company were illegal but–according to the agreement hammered out between his powerful Washington DC lawyers from Baker Botts and local Florida prosecutors–didn’t know it was taking place at the time. By the time the case was over in 2010, Singer settled with the government by paying a $2.5 million settlement. Two years after the indictment, Singer donated $100,000 of new computer software to the Alachua Police Department. Singer was accused with nine others of inflating Medical Manager Health Systems profits, and of conspiring to launder money. And in 2005 he was indicted in a massive government fraud case against his company Medical Manager Health Systems, which was an offshoot of WebMD. (She still hawks Marianne Williamson.) This guy is named Michael Singer, author of a book called “The Untethered Soul.”īut Michael Singer is indeed better known in his hometown of Alachua, Florida as Mickey Singer. Now, maybe because she’s in her own personal crisis with her OWN network, Oprah is pushing a new guru. Winfrey actually ran podcasts and internet classes with the guy who has since quietly vanished from the spotlight. I don’t know how she does it: it was only six years ago that Oprah Winfrey was touting new age nut Eckhart Tolle as the all time genius of the world.
