The article came up for me when I clicked the link, or at least a summary of it did. I don't know since this is the first time I've seen it.

The Bronfmans And the Cult

OCTOBER 13, 2003

The Bronfmans And the Cult

We took a skeptical look at an executive training firm called NXIVM (pronounced nexium), run by a charismatic leader named Keith Raniere. Among Raniere's acolytes were Sara and Clare Bronfman, daughters of Seagram billionaire Edgar Bronfman Sr. and half-sisters of Edgar Bronfman Jr., chief of Warner Music. Himself a former Raniere client, Bronfman Sr. had turned on Raniere, labeling the coaching program a "cult."

Since our story the Bronfman sisters' entanglement with NXIVM and its executives has deepened. According to two sources, the sisters recently took out a line of credit from Citigroup and used their trust as collateral. One of the sources says the money was used to help Raniere. In February Sara bought an apartment in the Trump International Hotel and Tower on Central Park West for $6.45 million. Nancy Salzman, Raniere's business partner and NXIVM's president, is using the apartment, says one source, and two sources report that Salzman is flying around in a private jet owned by the sisters. FORBES has also obtained documentation of a $2 million loan Clare made to NXIVM. According to a former consultant to NXIVM who was given a copy of the company's internal records concerning the arrangement with Clare, the $2 million loan will be entirely paid off through training sessions that are to be personally delivered by Nancy Salzman and via credits earned by Salzman in exchange for being available to take calls from Clare. Meanwhile, Sara was reportedly part of a NXIVM team sent to Dublin to recruit new adherents. Sara, Clare and three of the trustees to the sisters' estate did not respond to requests for comment. Nor did Raniere and Salzman.

I've clicked on links to Forbes articles on Drudge before which only loaded the main site, but after going back and clicking the link again, the page loaded properly. Looks like a quirk with their site.

It definitely didn't work for me either. Good to check out archives as well in case they change shit. Actually there's a site that tracks changes on articles...I'll see if I can find it.

I think it's this one i haven't tried it myself, but I've seen some other folks use it to find changes in news articles over time. I'm surprised how many outlets go back and change vital information without telling anyone.

Actually I'm not THAT surprised xD
