    It's so weird giving exact years and not just "life in prison"... is it to be able to put different crimes against each other and some statistical purpose?

    It looks like something from kids playing... "WELL YOU GET 120 YEARS BRIAN! WELL JIMMIE I WIN BECAUSE YOU GET 160 YEARS!"

    There is a good documentary on HBO called "The Vow" that is about this.  Really good show.

    Kind of like scientology as far as the methods of sucking people in.

    yeah, just that short video reminded me a lot of scientology and its methods.

    The abuse to the group of girls was nuts...not sure how he got away with it that long.  There is an interesting part of the doc where they discover that the brand he used on the girls were his initials.

    The doc leaves off with him being arrested.  There is going to be a second series that takes us from that date to present.

    It's not really a spoiler. This was all over the news months before the documentary so we knew what happened to Raniere and his cronies. I have been watching it, and knew how it was going to end. It's still good. I find it fascinating how people get sucked into these cults. It really has nothing to do with their intelligence, etc. It just slowly reels them in. I watched a documentary about Jonestown and remember thinking the same thing - How can they not see what is happening?
