тАЬIt is now of paramount importance for me to say, from the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry,тАЭ the former тАЬSmallvilleтАЭ starтАЩs letter reads. тАЬI threw myself into the teachings of Keith Raniere with everything I had. I believed, whole-heartedly, that his mentorship was leading me to a better, more enlightened version of myself. I devoted my loyalty, my resources, and, ultimately, my life to him. This was the biggest mistake and regret of my life.тАЭ

Her letter continues by referencing┬атАЬthose harmed by the collateral damage of my destructive choices,тАЭ with Mack vowing to spend the remainder of her life to make amends and become a more compassionate person.

Meanwhile, the accompanying letter from MackтАЩs attorneys claim that she has тАЬpublicly denounced Raniere (and her own prior association with Raniere) in the strongest possible terms.тАЭ

Her attorneys continued: тАЬThat is made clear by Ms. MackтАЩs plea allocution, her decision to cooperate completely and fully with the government, and is further underscored in her letter to this Court as well as her efforts to demonstrate her remorse to the public generally and more specifically to those she harmed. There is thus no need to impose an additional sentence of incarceration on Ms. Mack to achieve specific deterrence.тАЭ

In MackтАЩs letter, she apologizes to the women she recruited into the cult.

тАЬI am sorry to those of you that I brought into Nxivm. I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man,тАЭ she writes. тАЬI am sorry that I encouraged you to use your resources to participate in something that was ultimately so ugly. I do not take lightly the responsibility I have in the lives of those I love and I feel a heavy weight of guilt for having misused your trust, leading you down a negative path.тАЭ
