Yup, they make my favorite whiskey. I know some of them too. They hang out in Toronto. Talk about a dysfunctional bunch of kids from an ultra rich family. Not at all surprised one of them got involved in cult activity. They live in a very different world than everyday people, and scammers prey upon their delusional beliefs. They are often wide open to this. Wealthy people are surrounded by scammers at all times. It's a force of nature in it's own right. Ultimately that's what that cult guy was, a fraud artist. He built a delusional belief system, and she bought into it with hundreds of millions of dollars from the Bronfman fortune. That gave her a degree of social status she could not find in her own family. She's a Jewish female for starters. A very wealthy sheep to be preyed upon by a very lucky wolf. That in turn gave him cult status that would not otherwise had been possible. Real social influence and political power. Rich people have the same emotional problems and weaknesses as everybody else, which is partly why family empires are often destroyed by the third generation. The guy who builds the fortune also often builds a dysfunctional family. Kids from the wealthy family fail to socialize the same as everyday people, and thus fail to learn the basic hardship lessons that common life brings. They live a highly sheltered existence, which is also isolating. They are often preyed upon as a result. She was not the only kid in that family with problems. Theirs is not the only wealthy family with those kinds of problems with the kids. I've always been kind of amazed with the families that build dynasties that seem to overcome these weaknesses and maintain long term power over multiple generations. They seem to retain power despite the social dysfunctionalities that are often seen in a wealthy upbringing with it's restricted socialization. As people, they have the very same strengths and weaknesses as everyone else. This is augmented by wealth, power, and most often advanced education. It's not that they don't have problems, they have different problems. Like having sexual affairs with the maid staff causing problems in the marriage. Nothing tears a family apart quite like a legal battle over a wealthy family estate. That battle often begins long before the founder has passed away. .
