[00:37:03] <exec> 08└─I heard about this on the radio and they said there were some things about this that may suggest it to be a hoax.

[00:37:26] <exec> 08└─I just read an article about Synanon, which started as an organization to help drug addicts get sober, then gradually turned into a cult. (This was in the LA area, too.) This guy sounds like a cult leader without a cult. Or maybe he already has one, and I just haven't heard about it.
