Tech Bro Guru: Bentinho Massaro & a Suicide

In 2017 Be Scofield traveled to Sedona, AZ on short notice because her astrologer said to get there on her birthday to set her "solar return" for the upcoming year. Within in a few days she mysteriously discovered Bentinho Massaro and ended up infiltrated his cult for a month. Her story went viral getting 200,000 views in a few weeks and eventually led to two short documentaries (VICE & Barcroft), news coverage & Playboy article. One of Massaro's students commited suicide while on his retreat nine days after the story appeared.
