In addition to the allegations of financial improprieties, AUM has also been accused of cult-like practices. Former members of AUM have alleged that the organization used mind control techniques to manipulate and control its members. They have also alleged that AUM leaders engaged in sexual misconduct and physical abuse.
The allegations of cult-like practices have been investigated by law enforcement authorities, but no criminal charges have been filed against AUM or its leaders. However, the allegations have damaged AUM’s reputation and have led to a decline in membership.
