"Coercion disguised as wellness or empowerment is still exploitation and it is a crime that causes harm to vulnerable victims."
"In reality, I fell into Nicole's trap. I was the perfect target."
"What she was doing wasn't about enlightenment or operating in a different dimension; it was criminal."
"Daedone and her co-conspirators exercised control through economic pressure, psychological manipulation, physical exhaustion and emotional degradation, leaving behind a trail of financial ruin and lasting trauma."
Nicole Daedone, co-founder of OneTaste Inc., was sentenced to nine years in prison for exploiting women through coercive practices disguised as wellness. She was ordered to forfeit $12 million, and seven victims received restitution. U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella emphasized that coercion under the guise of empowerment is still a crime. Victims reported financial and emotional harm, with one stating she fell into Daedone's trap. The judge noted Daedone's actions were criminal, not about enlightenment, and prosecutors highlighted the lasting trauma inflicted on victims.
