Is he a slumlord or ethical specialist?
May 12, 2006

ST. PETERSBURG — In the world of Scientology, Scott W. Snow is a winner.

He has achieved the religion’s highest level of training, higher even than megastar Tom Cruise, a distinction that brings with it lofty ethical standards.

But in St. Petersburg, city leaders call him slumlord.

Snow, 51, is the owner of the Chinook Apartments in Midtown, which the city shut down May 2 after finding multiple fire code violations.
Now two dozen Chinook tenants have hired a lawyer and are preparing a lawsuit. And the city is investigating 39 separate code violation complaints at Snow’s other three St. Petersburg apartment buildings.

This is not Snow’s first brush with trouble, according to documents and interviews. In 2002 he filed for bankruptcy, saying he owed more than $700,000 and had only $22 in his pocket.

I guess going clear doesn't necessarily mean going ethical?

1. It just "clears" your conscience.
