About 200 boxes in Chicago and boxes throughout other US cities.

A for-profit used clothes business with headquarters in Chicago (also the base for Gaia) and collection boxes in Atlanta, Houston, Ft. Worth, Seattle, Minneapolis/St Paul, New York, St Louis and - soon - Philadelphia and Portland, Oregon.

U'SAgain clothes boxes suggest it is a charity - in fact it is a for-profit, as pointed out recently in Time Magazine.

U'SAgain is clearly part of Tvind.   All the key personnel are members of the Tvind Teachers Group and they enjoy a close relationship with TG members elsewhere in the USA.    U'SAgain and Gaia staff share a house (the 'cult compound')  in Algonquin, IL     July 2003

Their website:  http://www.usagain.com


What some Tvind Alert readers have written about U'SAgain:

July 2003:    The nature of the business is so sloppy that one could report virtually anything in for collection and none would be
the wiser.

Internally, however, they are very interested in real numbers because the higher numbers are the only things that please the TG.    This is why their yearly budgets are outrageously non- achievable.     Not even they (heads of the these companies) are able to achieve such standards.    To the government, I
am certain there are two sets of books.

I can say that they are still boldly bouncing checks as usual.

The (money) laundering is all through Garson and Shaw as they supposedly buy the clothes and sell them to themselves and other customers.

'Insider'


July 2003:     They are definitely pros at collecting clothing.  The fact that they have come to this country and are no longer pretending to be a charity is a complete indictment of their organization, in my opinion.  It's like their saying, " ok, you caught us, now how can we continue in a different way."

Anyway, the used clothing business is very complicated. It's pretty much smoke and mirrors unless you really know what you are doing.  There is HUGE money in this business.  I know for a fact together U'SAgain and GAIA collect around 200,000 pounds of clothing per week here in Chicago.  Current market price for unsorted, "credential" clothing is about 25 cents per pound.  That's $50,000 per week coming in the door for TVIND.

I would love to get these arrogant crooks out of town.

'Snoop'


Aug 2001:  There are 5 locations of U'SAgain in the states Atlanta, Houston, Ft. Worth, Chicago, Seattle.    Three of the locations are owned/run by a Poul Joergensen who lives in Atlanta.     He rooms with Allan Foighel, Ann Jonson, a person named Lisa, and a person named Borge.     Allan Foighel runs Garson & Shaw in the states but I don't think he has a working permit or a social secruity card to work in the US.     Garson & Shaw sells the product for Planet Aid, U'SAgain, and Gaia in the US and Canada. their american office is located in Atlanta.
