Stranger then Fiction, you couldn't make it up, no one would believe it:
“This tendency towards pseudoreligiosity surfaces most clearly in Campbell’s relation with that mountebank and founder of exploitative cults, Hubbard”
L. Ron Hubbard had a talent for grifting people. Later on he joined Jack Parsons magical order 'Ordo Templi Orientis'. At Parsons Pasadena mansion, Hubbard and Parsons engaged in the occult task of raising a moonchild, before Hubbard ran off with Parsons money, girlfriend and yacht. There's a fictionalized version on 'CBS All Access' called "Strange Angel". Hubbard turns up at the end of season 2.
