(Apologies if this is a redundant post. I posted this info last night and it did not show up.)
Groups that recruit selectively, discreetly as this one does can last for decades. They dont generate the publicity or piss legions of people off with obnoxious recruiting tactics like more famous/infamous groups.
These esoteric groups function more like espionage operations--very elitist, very secretive--the secrecy is part of the thrill. They can take a long time recruiting you, and will wait until you're vulnerable before making their first overtures.
You may be worried that you were foolish. It is more likely that someone you trusted as a close friend, coworker or relative lied to you and exploited the relationship for recruitment purposes. Our two informants tell us that the group tends to recruit through pre-existing social ties and has only recently begun targeting younger people.
You were in what you thought was an honest game and were NOT told that the game was being played with marked cards and that only Michael can win that game.
