In Season 3, Episode 38 of The Eldritch Estate, we complete our series on the Japanese death cult Aum Shinrikyo. In this episode we discuss the various lawsuits involving cult, resulting in assassinations of both legal representatives and political figures. Finally, we end this series by discussing the horrific Tokyo subway attacks which ultimately brought about the end of Shoko Asahara and Aum Shinrikyo as it was known in 1995. The group carries on today under the name Aleph, but does not follow in the same ideologies as it did when Asahara was the leader.
