It quotes the Mainichi Shimbun, a major Japanese national daily, dated 21 May 2000, stating founder Hogen Fukunaga was able to reap some 87 billion yen from his roughly 20,000 followers, and Kyodo News, a wire service, dated 26 May 2000, stating investigators suspected the group of having collected about 100 billion yen in training fees from thousands of followers. Two named outlets within five days of each other giving figures roughly 15 percent apart; the compilation page itself carries no single publication date, an absence named here rather than left silent.CitationPublisherWell-attestedCESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions)URLWell-attestedhttps://www.cesnur.org/testi/honohana_06.htmSource TypeWell-attestedreference-databaseClaims Backed By This Source (13 claims)This source backs 13 claims across the atlas.
