Among the craziest stories of 2018 thus far is the nearly-unbelievable story of Allison Mack’s involvement with Nxivm, an upstate New York group that recruited young women under the guise of self-empowerment and reportedly branded and brainwashed them. Mack was considered the most high-profile recruiter in the group, as she was the leader of its inner circle, NXIVM DOS, which is being reported as a sex cult. In April, the former Smallville actress was arrested by the FBI in Brooklyn for her high-level involvement. Since then, more information about Nxivm and Mack’s disturbing involvement in the group have been revealed to the public. As this potentially damning information leaked, and with the group’s leader Keith Raniere also arrested shortly before Mack, Nxivm officially suspended operations due to “extraordinary circumstances.” That’s putting it mildly, truth be told.
On Nxivm’s website (as reported by E! News), the following message has been posted on their site, claiming all operations inside the group have been suspended due to the ongoing criminal trails and the severe allegations made against the group.
