A shadowy online guru blamed for breaking up families may be ordered to tell her followers that she is a convicted criminal by a federal judge who is troubled by a pile of disturbing allegations against her.
Liana Shanti, who runs the Lemurian Mystery School, is serving five years’ probation after pleading guilty in May 2021 to concealing bankruptcy assets.
Shanti was ordered back into court this week after The Daily Beast published an investigation into allegations that she is a catfish cult leader who indoctrinates women with QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories and encourages them to cut ties with their families and take their children to new places she claims are safe from Satanic forces.
