Why have there been so many shows/documentaries/what have you about this cult? Unfiltered opinion here, it seems to me that a bunch of rich people got duped, and are now recouping their losses by selling their stories about being duped. While what went on is no doubt abhorrent, it seems like this money and energy could go towards a more helpful cause.

Sure, I’m sorry if my choice of words offended you (not sarcasm), but at the end of the day I believe the only reason he was even held to account by the law was because of the social class of people involved. As pointed out by others, plenty of other cults with even more fucked practices go unchecked.

My issue is the same as I have with most true crime/cult focused/what have you programming is that people are profiting from it. Sometimes the money goes to the right place, more often it does not. To me it is just keeping the wheel spinning.
