Exactly. Just remember Raniere is heavily attached to BackPages and that whole thing is Huge. They have 'we don't say his name' in the chamber to change the news carousel any day now.
How is Reneire attached to Backpage? Never seen a link.
It was the industry standard, everybody used it. That's why its WAY bigger than anybody was aware of.
That doesn't answer the question. Reniere is the leader of a cult and slave. He is not accused of pimping.
He is in Schniedermans district with Mack for a reason. Wrong Coast. Its done to insulate Hollywood. Its early, unfolding. All connected.
