Amanda Palmer used to live in Boston. She had a cult in Boston that had massive orgies in the attic of this crazy artist brownstone in the south end called the Cloud Club. I’m betting that she was not just a passive participant but the Ghislaine Maxwell of this relationship.

Some of the reports I have read point to exactly that kind of interaction.

I haven't read the full report but it seems she was at least aware of what was going on, and it didn't bother her all that much.
