DETROIT (AP) — Michigan’s attorney general announced on Tuesday that state and federal authorities are conducting an investigation into an online company that claims to assist individuals in finding their soulmates. Search warrants were carried out at two residences in northern Michigan’s Leelanau County, the location of Twin Flames Universe, Attorney General Dana Nessel revealed. The company, operated by Jeff and Shaleia Divine, has garnered attention through negative portrayals in documentaries on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Twin Flames Universe offers services to help individuals discover a lifelong romantic partner, referred to as a “twin flame,” through a spiritual journey. Nessel stated that there have been allegations of Twin Flames engaging in “coercive control” over members nationwide through illicit actions. The purpose of the search warrants was not disclosed by Nessel. Attempts to obtain a response from Twin Flames via their website were unsuccessful at the time of reporting. Twin Flames features a range of products, including a $9.99 Kindle book and an $8,888 comprehensive package providing access to numerous hours of videos, guided meditation, and educational content. In a statement released in March, Twin Flames defended their mission in light of recent allegations, emphasizing that their community is founded on principles of love and mutual respect. Nessel also encouraged individuals to reach out to her office if they have information to share about Twin Flames.
