A cult recruiting wealthy city slickers has been accused of forcing newbies to dig ditches in a vast retreat as its leaders live the high life.
The New York group are said to be expanding their recruitment of wealthy individuals and putting them to work on renovations and landscaping, according to records and a source close to the group.
Records show a company linked to members of the Odyssey Study Group (OSG) purchased a sprawling compound across 100 wooded acres in the outskirts of Margaretville, in New York State.
