Digital Lightwave, Inc. (NASDAQ: DIGL) was founded by Scientologist Bryan Zwan in 1990 to develop network technology products for the fiber-optic industry, and began a high-profile roller-coaster ride on the booming technology market when it went public in 1997. In its short history, DIGL has been involved in a class-action lawsuit, an SEC investigation, and a wrongful termination complaint.

The cases involving Brian Haney and the SEC are both familiar to the public, but that of Seth Joseph is not widely known outside the Pinellas County courtroom. where DIGL continues to appeal the original ruling against it.

Seth Joseph was DIGL's Senior Vice-President between September 1996 and February 1998. Toward the end of 1997 he (and others) became aware of the fraudulent actions of Denise Miscavige Licciardi. Licciardi is the sister of Church of Scientology 'Ecclesiastical Leader' David Miscavige. Joseph's reward for blowing the whistle on Licciardi was to be fired by Zwan.
