Chuck's behavior becomes more belligerent and abusive; he forms a military-like boot camp for delinquent children where corporal punishment abounds; TIME Magazine publishes "Swinging at Synanon" and Chuck sues for $76 million as his paranoia grows.
In 1977, the Los Angeles Times reports on the nine-day abduction of Frances Winn by Synanon; Chuck spends $62,000 on guns and ammunition; sentenced to five years probation, Chuck loses everything and dies in a nursing home.
