Sarah Berman is a senior editor at Vice Canada and is writing a book on NXIVM. Pronounced "nexium", the now-infamous sex cult was started as a multi-level marketing company by a man called Keith Raniere and quickly morphed into an empire of manipulation and crime. Hollywood stars, wealthy heiresses and even the Dalai Lama play a role in this sinister and fascinating story.
