Two out of 7 ain’t bad

The odds are against you if you become a lover of Keith Raniere.

Only two out of seven of the women who were at one time closest to him are still standing to tell about his greatness.

So how come most of the women closest to Keith Raniere always end up either dead, or leaving him?

Consider the women who were closest to him:

Out of seven women, two died young of cancer; two left him and were then sued by him  multiple times; the mother of his child fled from him with their child; and for the last two – their fate is yet to be determined.

Toni Natalie – Fled and was then sued, along with members of her family, by him or his minions more than 10 times

Pamela Cafritz – Dead before 60 of cancer

Kristin Keeffe – Mother of his child who fled from Mr. Raniere and is still in hiding

Barbara Jeske – Died of cancer before 60

Barbara Bouchey  – Left and was then sued by him or his minions  more than 10 times

Karen Unterreiner – The last of the original Raniere’s.

Nancy Salzman – Still with him but demoted.

• The odds of getting cancer and dying young by staying with Keith Raniere:  29 percent.
• The odds of leaving Mr. Raniere and then being sued: 29 percent.
• The odds of having a baby and fleeing from him and going into hiding: 14.5 percent.
• The odds of remaining with Mr. Raniere and living happily ever after or until you are arrested, end up in prison, get cancer, leave and are sued or other alternative fate: 29 percent.

I don’t know about you, but it seems the odds of a happy ending with Keith Raniere are somewhat smaller than the average man.

Maybe because he is so much brighter.
