One of the leaders of a religious group based in Shawano is no longer in federal custody.

Attorney Alan Eisenberg says a federal judge in Maryland ordered Naomi Isaacson released Thursday.

She was arrested a week ago in Shawano on a contempt of court warrant.

Isaacson is chief executive of the Shawano-based Samanta Roy Institute of Science and Technology.

Shawano Police Chief Ed Whealon has said investigators believe a person linked to the institute was responsible for 60 citizens being notified by the FBI in early November that they were "potential victims of an implied threat."

Eisenberg says Isaacson's arrest involved an inadequate response to a subpoena in a Baltimore court and had nothing to do with tensions in Shawano.

Our call to federal marshals to confirm whether Isaacson has been released has not been returned.

I remember Naomi getting in trouble for flirting with one of the older Villiard boys--perhaps Rama was jealous and wanted her for himself. He got to her from the beginning and made her into this kind of person. I suppose if I had been in there long enough and brainwashed enough I would be in the same place. If others can get out and change their hearts, there's hope for Naomi. At least it's an ideal. She's not the only miserable, pathetic, and lost soul; just the main one we can see taking the brunt of Rama's bull----.

Naomi Isaacson is a liar and a fool. They all are. It's time for all of them, including that short puk that they call Dr., to stand up take responsibility for all of their poor business decisions and lies that they've told.

Is it just me or is Naomi starting to look like her cult leader? Only he could still say she is "so pretty." Naomi...you look like a miserable, pathetic, lost soul.
