With the positive ID of Jouret's death, the mystery of the cult doesn't get any closer to being solved -- it just deepens, says TIME Switzerland reporter Robert Kroon. There's still the question of who benefited from the undoubtedly large sums of money that the cult collected from its members. Swiss media are reporting a transfer of $93 million to an Australian bank account held by one cult figure. "This was obviously a cult with a double life," says Kroon. "But you wouldn't think that the leaders would collect all this money and then kill themselves."
