Apparently, some of the culties have gone to Newark, CA. adjacent to Fremont, and have had their LWS building there, and possibly a front for a studio, but it is not nearly as big as it was in the heyday.
A recent post by an ex cult member identified the half mast flag story, and it was about some Korean leader who died, not anyone in the organization.
As far as we know, the honorary doctor is still living, and is fast approaching 74 next February.
Well, more later.
