I found this just now on ARS, posted by Just Truman:

Cult founder L. Ron Hubbard had flashes of genuine brilliance, but always skewed towards an illegitimate purpose. Ultimately this deeply flawed human being’s main gift was as a charismatic  sociopath, a con man, bent on amassing personal wealth and perverse dominion over his adoring victims. It was quite deliberate.

He claims to have developed a so-called “Bridge to Total Freedom” that would more accurately be described as a one-way road to Hell. It was mostly a repackaged mishmash of older ‘technologies’ including hypnosis, slavery, tribal instinct, guilt, fear, extortion and blackmail… under a tantalizing veneer of truth.

In the end he was reduced to a human travesty, incapable of maintaining even a semblance of self reliance, physical health, hygiene, or sanity. He had to be, literally, hidden from public view.

He died a dirty, lonely, drugged yet raving lunatic surrounded only by those sycophants debased enough to speed him on his way to a premature death so as to grab his money and what was left of his power. Truly and deeply pathetic.

Now his most ardent and successful protege, David Miscavige, is rapidly descending along the same criminal route into the same dark place. Such is the ‘Bridge’.

THAT is how Scientology works!
