Legal issues and criminal conviction In 1992, Browne and her estranged husband were indicted on several charges of investment fraud and grand theft.[22] The Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California, found that Browne and her husband sold securities in a gold-mining venture under false pretenses.[22] In at least one instance, they told a couple their $20,000 investment was to be used for immediate operating costs.[23] Instead, the money was transferred to an account for their Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research.[22] Browne pleaded no contest to securities fraud and was indicted on grand larceny in Santa Clara County, California on May 26, 1992.[24] Sylvia and her estranged husband Kenzil Dalzell Brown pleaded no contest to a felony charge of "sale of security without permit," made restitution, and received one year probation each.[22] Dalzell's disposition included "County Jail 4 months with credit for time served of 21 days," while Sylvia's included 200 hours of community service.[22] Wikinews has related news: Montel Williams Show breached standards with 'psychic' Sylvia Browne Additionally, the airing of one of Browne's false predictions in June 2008 caused Ofcom to rule that ITV2 "breached standards with a repeat of the Montel Williams Show in which a 'desperate' couple were told by a psychic their missing son was dead - even though he turned up alive last year."[25] The ruling concerned "breaching rule 2.1 of the Broadcasting Code, which relates to protecting viewers against offensive material." [edit] Criticism and controversy Main article: Criticism of Sylvia Browne Sylvia Browne has been involved in numerous controversies regarding her claims and predictions. She has had a long-running feud with skeptic James Randi, who has said that her readings are indistinguishable from those achieved by mentalists using cold and hot reading techniques. In addition, reports about her psychic abilities by independent observers and the press have cast doubts on them.[26] Her first husband, Gary Dufresne, said in a February 10, 2007 interview that he does not think Sylvia has any paranormal abilities, and that she admitted it, saying that the gullible deserve to be taken advantage of.[26] Also supporting this conclusion are several incorrect predictions shown when the actual truth was revealed through other than psychic means, including those of Holly Krewson,[27][28] Opal Jo Jennings,[26] Lynda McClelland,[29] and Shawn Hornbeck.[30] Browne has often spoken of working with the police and FBI as a psychic detective, but according to The Skeptics Dictionary, in 21 of Browne's 35 cases, the details she gave were too vague to be verified, and in the remaining 14 Browne played no useful role. [31] ............. how can we tell if the predictions are for real??

Everyone has an opinion and an ego. Ego is what causes so much misunderstandings. I go through my day trying to make connections with people as I am a people person. However, its hard to make a connection with people when no one see's we are all the same no matter what our background is we are all connected yets our Ego's keep us separate. Tolerance, Patience and compassion is the key to living. We are all struggling to live, get back to basics and family. Somedays I just want to go home to heaven and be done with this negative place. When is the last time you went to a store and the person behind the counter really noticed you where there said hello and how are you doing today and thanks for shopping with us? When is the last time you where having a bad day and a stranger smiled at you and made you feel better? When will we all stop complaining and just learn to except people are different. Gosh we live in a world of total negative people that want to complain about everything, but when are we all going to get up and do something for someone else to make their life better if only for a day? Think about it if we all stood up and said enough is enough what a world we could live in. Do you know your neighbors name? If not how long have you lived next to someone and not even asked their name? Sylvia has one saying I love it is SHUT UP AND GO HOME!! I truly wish it was my time to go home because it is a hard core world where people pass judgement on a few words another says with such hate and hurt. When will we all ban together and start helping each other?

I reccommend that people watch the movie zeitgeist addendum. It really opened my eyes up to some things, like the monetary system. I thinking that eventually we will end up living in peace, similar to the proposed resource based economy that is shown in the movie by the Venus Project. I would love it if Sylvia could watch this movie and give some feedback. You can watch it on the internet and download it and give it to people to watch, the director supports the piracy of this film.

I am ashamed to see what has been written regarding the accusation upon a very Soft and Beautiful Soul as Sylvia Brown..when she predicts in our favor we all want to hold her high in the skies..but when she gives us the Negative part of this Universal Series you all go beserk..That's Life baby! I too do not like to hear negative matters of what's to come with Obama but hey this is his time and he wrote his chart Sylvia is just letting you know that it's his time..he has given us what we needed to bring ourselves out of the dark with President Bush, now Biden will be in office for him as our President until he's assinated then we will just have to wait and see..Sylvia has told us many times We are only here to Learn out Lessons that's it Then we go BACK HOME!

Hello! I was looking through all of these comments and wondering if you, Sylvia, do make the time to read what these people are saying, asking, or commenting? These people are really into you Sylvia as I am. Thank goodness for your interest in writing all of your books because there are many of us who just can't get to see you in person. Sylvia, do you really make the time to read what is posted and answer them? May Father and Mother God protect you and yours, Linda Platko Green-Bradford, PA

wow. It's ridicules how so many of you forget the whole concept of spirituality and choke it with anger in the form of your so called statistics. It's disgusting to see you so bitter because of someone’s situation and think that you have the right to be demeaning toward people. Think love. Soften your heart . Be a role model and not a judgmental person. In gods eyes there is no boundaries or counties of origin, just human beings. If that is so, then think that perhaps the statistics are bias. I know this because i work with non-minority kids in high school and they have the same problems that all minority kids have. I've worked with non-minority adults and again exhibit the same problems. Be compassionate of others. Give positive advice and learn tolerance (of other mistakes) and you will experience in return compassion about your bad situation. I Love you. My heart goes out to you.

Two words that are important for everyone to remember in life. I teach these to my children. Patience and tolerance. Just two words can have such a big impact on someones life. Go ahead and give it a try. Diana

Diane, I empathize with your feelings of fear and concern for your grandchildren as it seems they have inherited a downward spiraling future. As much as I enjoy Sylvia's web site, mught I suggest that you go to Dannion Brinkly's web site.....after reading Sylvia's site of course. smile. http://www.dannion.com/archives/7-truths.htm He details something he called "The Seven Truths" perhaps you will find this soothing. God Bless You Diane!

Aura...one more correction...illegals are NOT taking the jobs that Anglo people (as you call us) don't want...illegals are undercutting American workers of all races and ethnicities...so that employers pay illegals much less, give them no benefits and dump the fiscal responcibility of illegals welfare on the American tax payers. Your logic comes straight out of the La Raza ( The Race A.K.A. Racist) hand book! Pure Nonsense!
