At the most benign these things are set up purely to make large amounts of money. This doesn't matter for Negreanu or Esfandiari but their celebrity status is likely to inspire people who can't well afford it to join up (see aforementioned Cruise/Travolta for parallels)
At worst they're like Scientology, which has murders, kidnappings, forced abortions and massive control of its members on its rap sheet.
