Raniere sued ATT, Microsoft; had ass handed to him

Keith Raniere sued ATT and Microsoft for patent infringement.  It seems he invented video conferencing. Who knew?

He did have a shared patent. But it got assigned to a shell corporation which got dissolved. If anyone had patent rights, it appears ironically to be Toni Natalie/Foley. As if she would give him a break at this point.

The big corps had big lawyers, and noticed he couldn’t prove he had any patent rights. So naturally he lied under oath, making up stories that he had the documentation.

The judge figured him out as a pathological liar. And not only ruled against him, with prejudice, but seems his behavior to be so extraordinary that he is required to pay the legal fees of ATT and Microsoft.

Sauce for the gander.  Requiring his victims to pay his legal fees for suing them is one of his standard tactics.

  • From one of the references:

    “Chief Judge Barbara Lynn said, “The case was exceptional because it stands out from others with respect to the unreasonable manner in which it was litigated” and added that Mr Raniere’s conduct throughout the litigation was “culminating in his untruthful testimony at the hearing on the motion to dismiss, demonstrates a pattern of obfuscation and bad faith”.

    The judge further said that, “Plaintiff’s conduct required defendants to expend significant resources to oppose plaintiff’s arguments, which the court now finds were made in bad faith to vexatiously multiply these proceedings and avoid early dismissal.”

  • What goes around comes around. He’s a massive fraud enabled by brain-dead celebrities from Vancouver and two idiotic millionaire sisters who have their head stuck in the sand because he rips off Scientology, New-Age, and centuries old well-known wisdom common to multiple faiths, mixing them together with NLP and hypnosis, so he can pretend he’s some guru in order to sleep with a bunch of women and masturbate his ego. NXIVM is the biggest waste of time ever.

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.
