Cults are just tax-free scams with extra steps. Lock him up and throw away the key.

exactly. tax evasion with a bonus body count.

wtf 'well-intentioned ignorance'??? who writes this garbage defense? manslaughter is manslaughter. rest in peace to the poor old lady.

Drew Parker2026-06-29T00:27:35.000Z

semi-celebrity my ass. more like semi-wannabe control freak. glad the jury saw through it.

semi celebrity = nobody outside his bubble had heard of him. just more media hype.

What's the cult's name? Asking for a friend who wants to avoid them like the plague.

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T01:07:35.000Z

they're called the 'Something Fellowship' - can't remember. but yeah avoid any group that asks for blind loyalty.

Another day, another dodgy 'spiritual leader' exposed. They're all the same.

Morgan Lee2026-06-29T01:22:35.000Z

ffs they're all grifters. this guy just took it too far.

Ella Thompson2026-06-29T01:01:35.000Z

manslaughter? nah should've been murder. hope the family sues them for every cent.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T01:13:35.000Z

nah the jury said manslaughter so there's some doubt. but still disgusting.
