NXIVM was formed by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman in the 1990s and billed itself as a self-help multi-level marketing company.
The company ceased operations last year after a New York Times exposé alleged that female members were used as sex slaves within the group.
The exposé prompted a federal investigation, and several members, including Raniere and “Smallville” actress Allison Mack, were charged with federal crimes.
