Or does the cult only use money to even further it's delusional scam and there may not even be a greed factor involved?

The whole of our dying society profits.
Here we have a group of people, often attacked, who persevere to rebuild our broken planet. Weather you believe your a body, a spirit or a nothing, you must understand that our society needs help and fast.
As a Scientologist I have made no great sum of money being on staff at a church or out doing volunteer minister activities.
I have donated money to: stop States allowing Drug companies drugging children, to enable teams of Scientologist to go to disaster areas(tsunamis, floods, twin towers, fires, Katrina hurricane) and to forward the aims of Scientology(See www.scientology.org/The Aims of Scientology).
What I have got from Scientology is the ability to earn more money honestly by being more able. I have imparted this knowledge to my wife and it has fast tracked her career.
So where does the money go. To exactly where it should go, to make an honest able society: where every individual can succeed, where those that are suppressing and holding people down become accountable for their actions and where the lies and injustice of the past can be just that, in the past.
As Scientology wins we all win.
Each battle fought by Scientology is an advance for all.

Nobody.
Scientology churches are non profit organizations, all donations they receive are used exclusively in their ministries.
Check with the IRS if you are so "concerned".They granted full religious exempt and charity status to all Scientology churches and secular Social Betterment programs in the US about 15 years ago after a VERY thorough audit.
So go troll somewhere else if that's your only purpose for being on this forum. Which it certainly appears to be.
By the way what is a "delusional scam" ??? Makes no sense .You must know since you just invented the concept.

Scientology looks like a multi-level marketing/pyramid scheme.
You essentially have to buy your way into higher levels, which is why it has become a popular religion amongst the Hollywood types.

Where does the money from every religion go?...To build ridiculously elaborate churches and keep priests in comfortable clothes.
