A specific organization (the one run by Bob Nelson in Chattsworth) was a scam. This does not imply that cryonics itself was a scam. That's kind of like taking an example where fake shares were sold on played-out gold mines and concluding that gold mining itself was the scam.
That was the first organization to ever freeze somebody, IIUC.
It was the first to freeze somebody, but the first to be formed was the Cryonics Society of New York in 1965. CSC was founded a year later.
(If you want to nit pick, technically the first organization to freeze somebody was CryoCare Equipment Corporation who froze a still unidentified woman in 1966).
Thanks for the clarification.
