How can a guy burst into a place with a baseball bat and assault people, but scare the event staff by threatening to call the police? That only makes sense if they were running a cult or Ponzi scheme.
It's a pyramid scheme. A real formal-looking one, real dangerous. The guy came in there to pull his mother out of it, save her from it, before she got in too deep.
@badwxlf It makes a lot more sense now, thank you!
I reread the first couple chapters and in ep 1 she thinks "Good experience"...when I didn't know it was a multilevel company... I didn't recognize that term "multilevel" during my first read but apparently it's another word for pyramid selling. Although there are legit companies that follow that model, evidently this one was doing something shady if they could be threatened with calling the police. Now I understand why he would despise her.
