Here is a timeline.
2008
Sisters Clare and Sara Bronfman retain Canada Inc. DBA Canaprobe Group, a Montreal private investigation firm, to “investigate individuals and obtain financial documents”.
The sisters were “concerned that some people” may “cause significant harm to their interests,” they said later in a lawsuit.
Clare and Sara Bronfman paid Canaprobe $878,168.44 for services between 2008 and 2011.
Richard Marier, the owner of Canaprobe, subcontracted some of the work to a former Ontario police officer Cullen Johnson, and his wife, Elaine White.
November 2009
The reveals that Mr. Johnson and wife, Elaine White, defrauded certain clients by creating fake banking and other financial statements.
March 2011
The Bronfman sisters are in US court in a civil case involving people Canaprobe investigated.
The Bronfmans sought affidavits from Canaprobe attesting to their findings from the investigations in order to submit them as evidence in the lawsuit. Canaprobe owner, Richard Marier, informs the Bronfmans that the information Canaprobe provided cannot be used in court, arguing these were documents meant for information purposes only, but the information is nevertheless reliable.
November 2013
The Bronfmans learn from Canaprobe that the information obtained from the independent investigators Cullen and White is unreliable, to the point that two of them were found guilty of falsifying bank records and financial information to defraud clients.
The couple provided reports to Canaprobe for the Bronfmans. In those reports were forged bank statements that falsely attributed money to individuals targeted by the Bronfmans for investigation.
January 2014
Cullen Johnson and Elaine White are sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison in the United States for fraud. The couple was found guilty of having repeatedly created fake bank statements of money hidden abroad.
March 2014

Pierre Boivin of Kugler Kandestin represented Mr. Marier.
February 2015
Bronfmans claim an additional $ 50,000 (in addition to the $878,168.44) for disturbances, inconveniences, additional sums paid to other investigators and damages caused in their claim.
Bronfmans claim they lost a civil lawsuit because of the false information provided. It is beleived they addeed another $1 million to their claim.
Canaprobe claims it informed the Bronfmans since 2009 of the accuracy problems in the reports produced by the Ontario couple. The two sisters deny this statement.
The precise targets of this investigation are kept sealed in the Bronfman lawsuit.
Feb. 24, 2015
Kristin Keeffe writes an email to NXIVM lawyers Pam Nichols and Steve Coffey. She sends a copy to Nancy Salzman, Loretta Garza, Marianna Fernandez, Camilla Fernandez, Clare Bronfman, Steve Ose and others warning them about their potential complicity in criminal acts. Among the crimes she alleges are the unlawful attempt of Clare Brongman to use a Canadian firm to spy on US citizens including federal judges.
Subject: The unfortunate realities…
Dear Pam and Steve,
… You should know that I had forwarded all the Canaprobe transactions to a third party gmail account for safe keeping as they came in…. Barbara Bouchey already knows about Canaprobe, she turned over in discovery an invoice to Clare from Canaprobe stating “Rick Ross bank sweep” (among other line items) in the Ross litigation.
I am guessing Clare never disclosed to either of you the depths she went to, as directed by Keith, to obtain financial records for leverage against every potential anti- NX party. This included getting records for every Judge in every NX related case. Cavanaugh, Falk, Sharpe, Treece, Macevoy, Littlefield, the Judge in the O’Hara criminal case, the USPTO officials who denied the NX patent for Rational Inquiry, Chuck Shumer, the Suttons, Rick Ross, Peter Skolnick, The World Jewish Congress, Rabbi Israel Singer, Steve Herbits, Jim Odato, George Hearst, Rex Smith, Steve Forbes, Her Father, and the list goes on and on….

Albany Times Union reports: Legal papers: NXIVM officials probed finances of 6 federal judges, Senator Schumer, others
The Times Union reported:
… [F]ormer NXIVM insider, Kristin M. Keeffe, said that Seagrams heiress Clare W. Bronfman, who oversees NXIVM’s operations, ordered the financial probes at the direction of Raniere, 55. The six judges whose financial records Keeffe alleges were analyzed have all presided over cases involving NXIVM or its perceived adversaries and critics.
The allegations by Keeffe, 45, are outlined in emails attributed to her that were filed recently in Albany County Court in a case involving Barbara J. Bouchey, a financial adviser and former NXIVM executive board member charged with hacking into the corporation’s computer system. Bouchey has pleaded not guilty and is fighting the computer trespass charge, which her attorneys said is baseless. {the criminal charges were dismissed against Bouchey]…
The judges whose financial records that Keeffe claims were targeted include four federal judges in Albany: U.S. District Chief Judge Gary L. Sharpe; U.S. Magistrate Randolph F. Treece; U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert E. Littlefield Jr., and U.S. Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy. The judges all have presided over cases in which NXIVM was a party or had an interest in the litigation. Keeffe did not say in her email when the alleged searches took place.
Keeffe alleges the corporation also conducted financial research on two federal judges in New Jersey: U.S. District Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh and U.S. Magistrate Mark Falk, both of whom have presided over a pending lawsuit filed in 2006 by NXIVM against Rick Ross, a self-described cult tracker. ….
In her email, Keeffe alleged that a small Canadian investigative firm, Canaprobe, was hired to conduct a “bank sweep” on Ross….
Keeffe, in the email attributed to her in Albany County Court files, claims that NXIVM also obtained the financial records of George R. Hearst III, publisher and CEO of the Times Union; Rex Smith, the newspaper’s editor and vice president, and James M. Odato, a former Times Union reporter who wrote numerous stories about NXIVM.
2016
Cullen Johnson, 67, of Keswick, dies of cancer in a North Carolina prison. Elaine White is scheduled to be released in January 2018.

[…] private investigator agency that was hired to spy on Deke was known as Canaprobe and has been covered in exquisite detail on this very website. Because NXIVM was run by failsons, dilettantes, and a certain scruffy ex-MLM hustler, their […]
Canaprobe was sued by Rick Ross for their illegal investigations. Canaprobe settled with him for undisclosed but presumably big bucks. Canaprobe’s contract with NXIVM / Bronfmans for the Ross investigation made NXIVM / Bronfmans liable for such settlements. So Canaprobe has sued NXIVM / Bronfmans in Montreal for the Ross settlement. That suit is I believe still pending.
Sounds familiar. Harvey Weinstein also did this kind of shit. When will law enforcement arrest these people?
