In this chilling episode of The Dark Side of Power, we explore the rise and fall of Eligio Bishop, a man once admired by thousands as a spiritual guru, but whose legacy is now defined by manipulation, control, and abuse. Known to his followers as "Natureboy," Bishop led the controversial Carbon Nation cult, promising freedom and enlightenment while secretly exploiting and controlling his members.
Through interviews with former followers and experts, we trace Bishop’s journey from a social media sensation to the leader of a dangerous cult. We delve into the allegations of abuse, including rape, false imprisonment, and revenge porn, that led to his arrest and life sentence. And we reveal the violent prison altercation that left him hospitalized in 2024, further cementing his notoriety.
Join us as we uncover the dark truth behind the man who once claimed to heal the world—but instead left a wake of destruction. This is a story of power, manipulation, and the devastating impact of unchecked influence.
