Summary

Happy October! All month long we will be sharing MLM Horror stories, from creepy cults to literal murder. Join us every Sunday with bonus episodes on Wednesday! *CW: This episode talks about a murder and attempted suicide. It describes crime scenes, the state of the victims involved and includes transcripts of court documents and suicide notes. Please use discretion when listening.* To the outside world Ellery and Lisa Bennett seemed like the picture perfect couple of happiness and success. A follower of The Law of Attraction, Ellery eventually found himself deeply entranced by the " Fake it til you make it" lifestyle, going all in on several MLMs and bad business deals while maintaining the guise of a "6-Figure Income", until it all became too much.

0:15.0	Join us as we dive into the real life stories of survivors, experts, and advocates
