Allison Mack & the NXIVM cult (the WHOLE story)

This is the true story of how a famous actress was ensnared by one of modern history’s most sinister cults. Once the star of DC’s Smallville, after 12 years in NXIVM, Allison Mack was convicted of racketeering and human trafficking. Allison wasn’t just a victim of cult leader Keith Raniere - she was also a top recruiter, procuring women for Keith to preside over as slaves. But how did it happen? How did a normal, even sweet, person become a disturbingly effective predator? This video answers every question you’ve ever had about Allison Mack and NXIVM, including how her childhood impacted the choices she made as an adult, the truth about her co-star Kristin Kreuk, who introduced Allison to NXIVM, and what she is doing now that she’s spent time in prison for her crimes. Once my Patreon exclusive video is done, I will link it here! It covers all of the strange things I found researching this video that didn’t fit in with Allison’s story.

My hunch is that there was a NXIVM course encouraging members to create "non profits" like this because I have found at least 4 of these "non profit" projects started by Nexians in 2007/2008.
