Sad! I remember seeing pictures of her competing and at the Olympic Trials (was it 2004)?
Whoa. $150 million allegedly gone. How does one hide that from Dad? :eek:
What a crazy story!!!
WOW. That’s the most interesting article I’ve read in awhile.
It’s been a steadily percolating story here in the Capital District for some time.
A friend of mine had her (now ex) husband get involved with this group. She owned her own home before they married. Now she and her 2 kids live in her mom’s basement and her ex lives in Boca with their former babysitter.

WOW had no idea on that one. Very well written article.
Gotta watch those nannies and babysitters:no:. She’s not the first. Guess Dad took the babysitter and left the kidlets in grandma’s basement. Nice.
I always liked seeing her wardrobe out there in the GP ring, kind of refreshing.
Sucks.
Wow… that was a shocking article! You can’t help but feel sympathy to her, so many people are taken over by “cults” like that. You can only hope they make it out without any sort of criminal charges, and that she comes to her senses. It is amazing what a need for validation will drive people to do.
it really was a tragic saga.

Found this on-line.
Keith Allen Raniere is an American cult leader who was convicted of a pattern of racketeering activity, including human trafficking, sex offenses and fraud. Raniere co-founded NXIVM, a purported self-help multi-level marketing company offering personal development seminars and headquartered in Albany, New York. Raniere, 62, was sentenced to 120 years in prison following his 2019 conviction on charges of federal sex trafficking, racketeering and possession of child sexual abuse images.
So true. I had the same trainer as CB for a bit.
