CULT? 1.0

Cult: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

Cult?: NXIVM

Secret Name: DOS

Figure: Keith

Front: Marketing Company that offers self help curriculum

Back: Give Keith Sex

Perceived Appeal: Affiliation and increase in self efficacy + some B-list actors

$ Source: Shit-ton of 7&7 sales residual

Downfall:

  • Too much sex with Keith
  • Poor Branding
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis doesn’t pencil out

When “Benefit” is negative, the math does not work good.
