The now-convicted NXIVM ringleader Keith Raniere is tucked away in federal prison, likely for the rest of his life. High-ranking members of his inner circle still await sentence hearing dates. And a small faction of former members remain loyal to Raniere as he attempts to clear his name on appeal. The ongoing NXIVM saga is the focus of former VICE senior editor and Vancouver-based investigative reporter Sarah Berman’s new book, “Don’t Call it a Cult.” In it, she takes a three-part dive into the rise of NXIVM, its leader’s uncanny ability to avoid legal consequences, and the federal probe that inevitably brought it all crashing down. On this episode of NXIVM on Trial, Sarah Berman talks to Rob Gavin about the book.
