I'm not so sure and it also depends on what you mean by "knew about". I just read through the Wiki article about this and it doesn't seem very clear on this point. It is a fact that he wasn't prosecuted for anything related to the incident.

Yes, I can't wait til they start making documentaries about the Buddhists.philji wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 8:21 am I wonder how the film would pan out if it were about Trungpa and Shambhala in those days.
We would see a group who seemed to play out with militarism, there was sexual abusive activity, there was an adoring group of followers and a charismatic leader who liked dressing up.
Those times...70’s and 80’s dharma and eastern spirituality was still settling in and there were some very wacky things going on.
I feel sorry looking at the film for the townsfolk who were living in fear and also the naive followers who thought they were creating a brave new world.
It is so easy to manipulate people...especially on the spiritual path.
