River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

This is what happens when a self-development company looks good on the outside—helpful, caring, with a great community of people. But on the inside is something much more sinister, all because of one man and his goal to indoctrinate women into becoming his sex slaves. Keith Raniere is our narcissist of the week, and Chelle and Lisa dive into the inner workings of NXIVM, the sex society DOS, and how Keith Raniere manipulated good people into worshipping a criminal. Why did people fall for this pyramid scheme? How did Keith Raniere get away with a sex cult for so long? And why does someone EVER join a cult? We answer all the questions of the rise and fall of NXIVM on Whose Crime is it Anyway?
