and at the same time, we have people put away for weed doing 20+ years. That's a fantastic use of our tax dollars.

The prosecutors were always gunning for Keith Raniere, the cult's mastermind. I wonder if Mack would have even been prosecuted if she wasn't a high-profile female celebrity. Her crimes clearly could have generated a far longer sentence if the circumstances were different.

Another slap on the wrist sentencing. I just don’t get it. I’m sure they helped take down the main guy, but how does it help those affected if he’s in prison for life, and all the accomplished go on their way after a short while. It’s not like the physical branding or emotional scars are going to go away in 3-5.

The rich and powerful play by different rules than the rest of us. This cult had connections to powerful and wealthy families in not one but three different countries: Mexico, Canada and New York.

it did turn out to be older, it ended with the leader of the group and her being charged but nothing from the actual trial or outcome

I either forgot or never knew Mack was married to one of the BSG actresses. I think she played a ship tech?

Anyway, looks like she has an “exclusive” interview with UK Page 6. She feels her side of the story isn’t being told, there’s a conspiracy from the FBI, and she’s not allowed to talk to Mack or Raniere. Comes across as level headed, but still toeing the line. Very odd.

She doesn't come off as a nutter but a lot of conspiracy theorists don't either. Also she is an actress. She still seems deeply invested in NXIVM and the founder.
I thought her marriage to Mack was because Clyne was going to be deported back to Canada. I think it was orchestrated by Raniere.

Poor, poor Chloe, getting rejected by Superboy made her go off the deep end.

You can't discount her race, gender, and general attractiveness either...

I think it's time for her to repent, find Jesus, start a social media ministry, and sell those $100 bottles of aromatherapy.

We know that she can convince women to do just about anything, so getting housewives to send her money should be very easy.

I'm fairly sure she would have gotten a sentence almost as long as the ringleader if Allison was a man. If you watch the documentaries available about this case, she was basically Keith's number two and played a key role managing the other women.
