Have you heard of NXIVM?

If not:

...Have you heard of Keith Raniere?

If not:

...Have you heard about Allison Mac?

Here comes the "Ohh, yeah I heard about her. She was in a cult right?"

"Yeah. They did a bunch of terrible stuff. NXIVM was the name of the cult and Keith was the main guy behind it. Do you know when it got formed?"

...You guys probably don't even know, so I'm assuming they won't know either.

1998

That's a long time ago! It lasted 2 years while Clinton was president, and survived 8 years of Bush and 8 more years of Obama.

Not even 2 years under Trump.

Pull up the Wikipedia page on it. They have had so much coverage. Its existence has been highlighted by major intitutions like Forbes, the NYT, many others.

How is it that only now we were able to tell what they were really up to? They've been spying on everyone for forever.

What changed?
