Over the years, Chuck rebranded as an experimental society. And eventually, Chuck was being looked at as the group's supreme leader and Synanon was no longer recognizable. It was a cult. In Part 1, we're talking about the early days of Synanon and the weird and cruel psychological tactics Chuck used to test his followers loyalty.
