Actually TOPY was never dismantled, I was a member back when
TOPY and Psychic TV separated... a PTV fan club was
created with TOPY being a separate occult org unto itself... never
dismantled as Gen attempts to put forth in his revisionist history.
Gen basically stepped out of his involvement... but there were never
any communications putting forth that TOPY was dismantled. Years later,
Gen had his lawyer send papers asking TOPY to cease and desist
use of the Psychic Cross (and thus most likely the revisionist
history of Gen's was concocted to support the claim that he owned
rights to the symbol) With support from Alaura and others
this situation died as it should have.
From what I recall, the CCTs, Sigil books, and New Years
gatherings continued for years afterwards. These days it
seems the majority of interaction is over the net... though
a couple years ago quite a few TOPY members were involved in
a Thanateros Rite I presented at the IOT National Moot in
Portland, OR.
