While this is true cult enviroments by their nature allow other bad actors besides the leader often to allow to rise into positions of power within them.
I think the Osho community is a good example. Given that Osho himself was open about his community running the biggest bioterror attack on the US at the same which otherwise likely wouldn’t have been discovered, it doesn’t seem to me that he was the person most responsible for that but his right hand at the time.
As far as cult dynamics go it’s not only the leader getting his followers to do things either but also various followers acting in a way where they treat the leader as a guru whether or not the leader wants that to happen which in turn does often affect the mindset and actions of the leader.
At the moment it’s for example unclear to me to what extend CEA shares part of the responsibility for enabling Leverage.
