“Did you ever consider that they just wanted your money and what would have happened if you just stopped giving your money?” one woman said. “Would you be as important to them?” Others described their continued fear of Bronfman, with one saying, “I’m always going to be looking over my shoulder.” Another echoed the sentiment of looking over her shoulder.
In June 2019, Keith Raniere, the group’s founder and leader, was found guilty of seven counts, including racketeering and sex-trafficking. Prosecutors said that NXIVM, an Albany-area organization that offered expensive self-help classes, had a secretive sect named DOS that “operated with levels of women ‘slaves’ headed by ‘masters.’” An HBO docuseries, The Vow, premiered in August, providing a deep dive into NXIVM’s activities.
