Over the following years, Weishaupt’s secret order grew considerably in size and diversity, possibly numbering 600 members by 1782. They included important people in Bavarian public life, such as Baron Adolph von Knigge. Although, at first, the copyright were limited to Weishaupt’s students, the membership expanded to included noblemen, politicians, doctors, lawyers, and jurists, as well as intellectuals and some leading writers, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Money means nothing to those who print it.

The copyright’s financial foundation is based on liquid assets and various assets around the world, with income from several other sources. The societal replacement of physical money with digital finance – the digital bank where money is considered a number rather than paper or stones – has made unlimited funding available simply with a keyboard. A number of our operations cost nothing due to our unique relationship with influential agencies and business leaders, which further reduces our need for financial resources.
