Question

Can anyone tell me anything about the Ocean Living Institute, which I believe was active in the 1970s and whether or not there were two companies or more by that name at that time?

After the fact, however, with the FBI manhunt, and Starchild's fraud conviction (he was named trustee of Shelden's "fly at once" stash, several million dollars, and looted it, but Shelden figured out a way to charge him from abroad), and the Senate hearing, and the Pulitzer-nominated investigative newspaper reports, I think it's a little unlikely that anyone involved in OLI would not have known what it actually was, even if they were complete dupes beforehand.

Sure. I'm just saying I expect some of those "Oh, shit, pedophilia? I so did not sign up for this shit" reactions were real.

I sincerely hope that's the case.

I don't know what the hell to make of the person who decided to brazen it out.
