John Paul Rosenberg (born September 5, 1935 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) adopted the name of "Werner Hans Erhard" in 1960 while in the process of leaving his wife and four children and moving to California with his lover, June Bryde.
After allegations of domestic violence, sex with family members and tax-payment disputes, Rosenberg sold WEA, allegedly claiming persecution by the Church of Scientology, and left the United States for Russia, Ireland, Costa Rica, the Cayman Islands, Mexico, and other places abroad.
WernerErhard: The Transformation of a Man, by William Warren Bartley
When Werner filed for incorporation, the state bureaucrats refused on the basis of an obscure rule that did not permit corporate names to be in a foreign language.
Werner's on-the-spot solution was to state that 'est' stood for 'Erhard Seminars Training'; the bureaucrats were satisfied, and that expansion of the company's name was seldom used officially.
Around the same time, Werner left the United States, partly because of threats on his life and partly because his direct participation with the company was no longer necessary.
