India and Allison not enjoying Executive Success [so far]

The sex-slave cult of NXIVM also goes by another name: “Executive Success Programs” or “ESP.”

It has the appearance of a life-coaching company. But not one member I know of has gone on to executive success. Its high profile members have been impoverished, reduced to sex-slavery, even criminally indicted.

The company’s website lists indicted sex-slaver, Raniere as the group’s founder.

ESP was founded in 1998 by Keith Raniere, a career criminal who has recently been indicted on charges of sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit forced labor.

Raniere founded its sister company, NXIVM, believed to have been named based on the ancient Roman Nexum, indentured servant contract practice.

Raniere bills himself as “one of the world’s top three problem solvers … honored in 1989 by the Guinness Book of World Records in the category of highest IQ. He has an estimated problem-solving rarity of one in 425,000,000 with respect to the general population.”

Federal investigators obtained copies of Raniere’s transcripts from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute which revealed he graduated with a 2.26 GPA, having failed or barely passed upper level math and science courses.

I previously revealed Raniere’s record high IQ came from a take home IQ test.

Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman. Her financial backing and aggressive litigation tactics supported rape, coercion, fraud, and ruination of lives.

On the Executive Board of ESP is Seagram’s heiress, Clare Bronfman, the “big money” behind ESP, NXIVM, and Raniere.

Federal authorities allege Bronfman “provided [Raniere] with millions of dollars and paying for private air travel costing up to approximately $65,000 a flight.”

The cost of ESP/NXIVM courses run from $3,000- $20,000 for five to 16 day “Intensives.”

Does the self-proclaimed world’s smartest man produce results commensurate with these fees? The history of some of Raniere’s most high-profile devotees suggest otherwise.

Executive Success Story #1 :TV star, millionaire-to-sex-slave, slavemaster, pimp, and criminal defendant— ALLISON MACK

Allison Mack on April 24, after being granted $5 million bail, leaves the Eastern District of New York courthouse with her attorneys.

Recently indicted, along with Raniere, on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit forced labor, Mack faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted.  Mack was introduced to Bronfman/Raniere in 2006 by friend and co-star Kristin Kreuk.

Barbara Bouchey, a NXIVM victim and ex-girlfriend of Raniere, told Fox News,“[Mack] was famous, talented and a good person,” and “came into the organization because she had a void in her life and because she felt vulnerable.”

Upon entrance into ESP/NXIVM, as I told Hollywood Life, “They love bombed [Mack] all weekend and then, at the end of the weekend, Clare Bronfman, a billionaire Seagram’s Liquor heiress (who is also a huge part of NXIVM) flew Allison on a private jet to Albany, New York to meet Keith, who calls himself ‘The Vanguard.’ All members, unless they have permission otherwise, must refer to him as this. Allison met with ‘The Vanguard’ and he pulled out all the stops. It was important to have her on board because another actress would be an excellent thing to have, she could recruit lots of other young beautiful actresses for them.”

Prior to joining, Mack earned significant money for her role in the nearly decade-long role in Smallville. She took her fortune with her to Clifton Park, NY (the cult’s headquarters) and soon lost it.

Raniere convinced Mack to give up her acting career to focus on his direction, guidance, and further entrenchment into the cult. Later, Mack was tapped to recruit women for Raniere, and, federal authorities allege, she was paid money for it; i.e, she pimped.

Mack rose in Raniere’s confidence and they began a sexual relationship, where she was barred from sleeping with any man but him, yet he would continue to have sex with anyone in the cult he chose.

Many women provided Mack, Raniere, Bronfman and others with “collateral” which consisted of graphic nude videos and photographs, confessions of crimes, and even manufactured confessions of such things as child molestation.

Raniere, Mack, and Nancy Salzman (known as “Prefect”, whose house was raided last month by the FBI), and Bronfman held collateral over the woman and made women continue to supply more collateral to ensure compliance with Raniere’s demands.

The demands included adherence to a 500-800 calorie per day diet. Raniere prefers women to be thin and says fat disturbs his spiritual energies and can cause him to be ill, if a woman he is having sex with is too fat. Various women were unable to menstruate after adhering to the diet.

The women had no choice but to comply.  New York State law enforcement, and the FBI in the Western and Northern Districts of New York ignored victims’ complaints for years.

Bronfman would sue anyone into bankruptcy or prison who dared leave, complain, or defect.

After more than 10 years, Mack went from actress with a fortune to an emaciated pimp with three federal felony counts against her, with her guru-boyfriend facing a life sentence.

Mack has not profited from ESP; the company cannot be said to have made her an Executive Success.

Executive Success Story #2: From model to waitress and sex-slave —INDIA OXENBERG

Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia (l), Catherine Oxenberg (ctr.), and India Oxenberg (r) in happier days.

India Oxenberg is the daughter of Catherine Oxenberg, star of the 1980s hit TV show, Dynasty. India is the granddaughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia. India was first introduced to NXIVM in 2011 by her mother, Catherine, who believed the so-called self-help group could help her.

While Catherine soon found the group “weird and creepy,” India become enamored with the cult. And India was as tantalizing to Raniere as Mack was, with her celebrity status and money.

India exhausted her inheritance to pay for NXIVM’s courses, and now works at Plantmade, a restaurant, in New York City.

Catherine became concerned about her daughter’s involvement with the cult when she discovered that her daughter’s hair was falling out, that she had not had her period in a year, and that she was becoming emaciated.

When Catherine could not persuade India to leave the cult and it became apparent her daughter was brainwashed, Catherine launched a campaign to rescue her daughter and shed light on their destructive and illegal practices. She appeared on various TV shows and gave interviews to the media. She played a major role in bringing about current federal charges against Raniere and Mack.

India Oxenberg (L) working a shift at a restaurant in NYC.

India vowed to go to prison to protect Raniere. She reportedly told someone  ‘I will be like Nelson Mandela.’

She is, to date, not what many would call an executive success.

  • The highest IQ in 1989 was Marilyn vos Savant, who held the record from 1986 through 1989. In 1990, the category was dropped. Raniere was never ever ever listed. Ever. Stunning how anyone could look this stuff up online so easily, and chose to blindly believe any old thing he said. Absurd, this schlub barely got through college. Undergraduate, at that. BTW, Cosby is looking at 30 years, from crimes committed many years ago If the Jane Does are able to testify against him, along with the evidence seized by the feds, Raniere will get life.
    Frank, I am wondering if there is pornography involved here as well. Or if any high dollar donors or connected persons had sex with any of the Jane Does in exchange for money, for favours, for protection. Nothing at this point is out of bounds for these people, clearly. The question you posed, about getting rid of any of the Jane Does over the course of years, is also weighing on my mind, and this would be a good reason to dispose of them–to cover up the ‘commercial’ aspect of a ‘commercial sex act.’

  • Stop the silly conspiracy theories.
    Free Speech wrote that, not me Shadow State.
    FS is 35 years old.
    I am almost 60.
    I was born the same year as Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince.

    • Shadowstate tries to coverup for his alias FREE SPEECH LOL

      We’ll believe you WINK WINK, NOD NOD!

      60 years old LOL and this is how you spend your time.

      I would say get a life but it looks like you have already blown yours on hate

    • Not sure which comment is being referred to, but i have to keep repeating that I’m not the same person as Shadow State.
      Also, I’m much older than 35…that is Allison Macks age, not mine.

  • It’s worth noting how Allison and others in this cult were controlled.

    Read this from a 12 year insider as it talks about hypnosis and brainwashing. Folks who have been part of a cult understand how it works those who haven’t will just speculate.

    https://frankreport.com/2017/08/06/12-year-nxivm-veteran-speaks-out/

    Even Barb Bouchey said in a recent video she believes that Allison was brainwashed into believing what he was doing was right.

    Of course you will get those on here like shadowstate who will claim she is a monster and speculate but I can explain why that is. He pursued her on twitter back in 2016 after attending a few NXIVM sessions and she turned him down. Since then he has fuelled his hate towards her into blog posts, forums and youtube videos

    Allison is much like Elizabeth smart, and the victims of Jim Jones and David Koresh.

    Thankfully there is the metoo movement and folks like the 12 year NXIVM who can explain how they operate.

    • Thankfully, there are peeps that are able to understand what brainwashing is.. and that it could be why Allison did what she did. Unfortunately, the public is so busy slandering her while declaring the innocence of Kristen who brought Allison in to begin with.. it’s all very pathetic. They live bombed Allison the first week she was there. And I’ll believe that’s how they got her in.. she was brainwashed the first few weeks..

      • That’s almost certainly what happened. Sarah Edmonson described the process that happened to her (and she came in a skeptic). Every course bends you more toward their goals, and if you benefit from the first one you’re more likly to come back. Most people learn about the classes from friends so they are already open to hearing what’s being said. By the time you’re ready for the “intermediate” courses where the serious brainwashing begins you’re already heavily invested emotionally and financially and you just snowball from there. And since Kieth probably used his position to bang his students well before he convinced Allison to form DOS famous, attractive, beautiful girls like her and most of the other prominent slaves were targeted specifically. We’ve heard it happened to Allison, and it probably happened to a lesser degree to most of the other women that were public figures when they first went in.

    • Can she not be a monster as much as a victim? Her behavior in DOS was monstrous. I can’t imagine that she was always one, but perhaps her time with KR warped her enough to do some awful things…I hope that there is help for her and maybe one day, redemption…

      • NC Girl. Don’t you mean… the “allegations” of her behavior were monstrous?

        Nothing has been proven yet.

      • Her behavior was monstrous. And she’ll have to face consequences. I think what bothers many of us defending her is the assumption so many have that she is a monster at her core, when all signs point to her having been a decent person before. Her morals and priorities and beliefs were twisted beyond recognition. Maybe she always had a bit of narcissist in her, but we all have personalities flaws. We don’t all have sociopaths using our insecurities and vices to turn us into tools. Allison and her “sisters” did. People really need to pick up an intro to psych book sometime.

  • Exactly how old are you children? I would estimate most here to be around 12 . ..sad. Its also hilarious how any logical comments, such as mine or Shadow states , is immediately attacked by these 12 year old trolls. Lol

    How do you trolls equate Shadow State’s opinion that Mack should be held responsible for her own actions (she IS an adult afterall, despite her ridiculous school girl outfits) as confirmation he works for Clare Bronfman? It appears you trolls have skipped a few steps in your thoughts processes to come to that conclusion.

    Mack is supposed to an adult. At 35 , I had been married for many years and had kids, and I can say the same about everyone else I know. Adults in their 30s do that.. . .we do not act like irresponsible 12 year old’s. Time for Mack to grow up.

    • You’re a troll yourself and the very fact that you are reacting shows your age to be around 12 year of age. Time for you to grow up.

      • I’m not Shadow state, and this is one of the things that demonstrates your illogical thought processes. You trolls make assumption after illogical assumption about stuff that you have absolutely no proof of.

        For example you assume Shadow state pursued Mack on Twitter, you assume he’s senile , you assume I’m him, you assume your personal opinions of Mack mean something…..

        Get over yourself….

        No one gives a flying fuck about an immature obsessed fan who writes umpteen posts about the object of their obsessive affections.

        Learn how to fuck off, and then do it.

        • Actually Shadowstate lacks nuance when talking about Mack, which is what I think “Allison and others…” is getting at. Mack can both be a monster and a victim. She can be a victim who did monstrous things. And yes, she should be held accountable. Shadowstate and text, tend to assume if posters also see her as a victim then that means they want her to get off without any consequences, which I haven’t seen anyone post.

          • Exactly! Jade you summed it up. It’s unfortunate others like shadowstate and tex2 and free speech are unable to see this.

          • I couldn’t care less if your opinion is that Shadowstate lacks “nuance ” (which is strictly your opinion and once again, not a fact of any type)
            You ridiculous trolls don’t seem to see how illogical you sound, and that any intelligent points you make are made invalid by your illogical assumptions.

            When you write BS such as someone is not entitled to an opinion because they are older than you, it make accusations with no basis in fact, you become a TROLL.

            Get it?

        • Lol FREE SPEECH you sound like such an angry little man. Time to go back into your corner of self-loathing and obsessions over smallville.

        • nu·ance
          ˈn(y)o͞oˌäns/
          noun
          noun: nuance; plural noun: nuances

          1.
          a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound.

          His writing lacks it. Since it hurt your feefees, I’m starting to think maybe you are one in the same. I don’t care if you think my points are illogical, you haven’t provided any thoughtful discussion so ::shrugs:: I’m not seeing why I should see the value in your critique.

          I never said he wasn’t entitled to an opinion because he was older (who’s the one assuming now?).

          I haven’t seen you post before, so it looks like you’re the troll. TTFN.

    • WOW. Is that you Scott Johnson of Texas and Amway and fondled sheep and caressed guns?!??

      You were the one turned on by an exhausted and unkempt Allison Mack, moustache and all, leaving the courthouse. You saw instead an “innocent school girl” and decided it was deliberate and manipulative. Which reveals more about your sexual fantasies than it does Mack. You like middle schoolers too, huh?? You and Keith Raniere have that in common!

      p.s. You’re a pervert.

      • I’m a woman, idiot. But keep your assumptions coming,, they just make you sound ever more stupid . Lol!

        • Then you are an angry little bitch who is jealous of mack and so you spend your time posting on here lol.

          • See. ..you just made another assumption based on nothing. Lol!
            But why in the world would anyone be jealous of Mack? Jealous of a mentally ill woman who is now being charged with a serious crime?
            Nope….no jealousy here.
            But keep your assumptions coming. They are getting more and more comical!!

        • Posing as women online is a common methodology of male perverts. And you are definitely a male pervert,

    • Your mental faculties have deteriorated far more than usual in your age group!! That must be hard for you.

      It’s clearly hard for you to see clearly and think logically. No one here is 12. Why are you unaware that children are in school right now? Maybe you didn’t go to school yourself? That would certainly explain some things.

      We’re all adults. The difference with you is that you’re ancient. You’ve reached the yelling at kids to get off your lawn stage. FrankReport is not your lawn. If you make specious arguments, you will get called out.

      • Once again….I’m not shadow state and I’m not a man. Ask Frank…he could verify my email I bet. But I want to keep anon for certain reasons.

        I only decided to write in regards to your recent and numerous troll posts because you trolls are rudely taking over the comment section. Go back and read your comments directed at anyone who disagrees with your opinion. Yes, you do sound childish and are behaving like a bunch of bullies. ….you trolls insult people just for having a different opinion as you do. That what bullies do.

        In reading your previous comments you called other people names such as ancient, senile, pervert, and accused them of actions without a shred of proof.

        And yet you still can’t recognize that you are acting like bratty little children when you do this.

        This is a discussion board- so learn how to debate instead of insult. You will sound much more intelligent when you can do that.

        • “Go back and read your comments directed at anyone who disagrees with your opinion. Yes, you do sound childish and are behaving like a bunch of bullies. ”

          And you don’t?

          Please you are a troll who focuses on Allison only

          And you’re shadowstate ( the guy who was turned down by Allison on twitter ) ROFL

          • No…I did not insult anyone. I pointed out that your behavior is childish and you behave like bullies. This is the truth based on what you’ve been posting about others here ..not an insult based on assumptions made without any proof.

            Every time you trolls post more assumptions you prove me right. I have nothing to do with shadow state or with any other person posting here. I just think it’s unbelievable how you’ve taken over this comment section by insulting and accusing everyone with an opinion different than yours.

            I don’t “have it in” for Mack, or for anyone. I don’t know her and I have never tried to contact her or whatever unfounded assumptions you seem to have. But I do think LE has worked hard on this case and they obviously have evidence ( which none of us is privy to) that has resulted in Macks arrest. And I’m sure LE does not arrest people based on the type of unproven assumptions you trolls are so fond of.

    • Yes this article is good. I will quote a bit of it.

      “Bad Charges Make Prosecution For Real Crimes More Difficult

      If the Does and other women in DOS were powerless against Raniere’s coercion and collateral—thereby rendering them victims in this “sex trafficking” enterprise—then surely this is also true of Mack, who was treated to Raniere’s same tactics. In that case, it doesn’t make sense to charge Mack herself as a sex trafficker.

      If Mack is still legally culpable for her outreach to other women while under Raniere’s tutelage or control, however, then surely other women in DOS who recruited members (one of their requirements) and “benefitted” from participation (in terms of having new recruits serve them or rising in the ranks of NXIVM) should also be legally culpable. Yet, we don’t see federal prosecutors rushing to charge the entire lot of DOS members with sex trafficking themselves.”

    • This article is nothing more than an opinion piece written by someone who seems unfamiliar with the entire story.

      If it persuades you in anyway, then that shows you are not taking all the known facts into consideration (and neither was the author of said article)

      • Oh its sad isn’t it to think that allison might be the victim isn’t it free speech? It would mean your obsession over seeing her demise might actually fall apart. Oh dear. Return to self-loathing and projecting it on to others.

    • On second thought, Allison Mack worked hard to collect and brand her slaves.
      And now the government wants to take those slaves away.
      It’s just not fair to Allison.

      Allison should fight back.
      She should fight tooth and nail, fang and claw to keep her slaves.
      Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

      Of course, if Allison fights back and loses, the government will throw the book at her.
      Allison will get 15 years for sure.

      But as they say on the South Side of Chicago, “Pimping Ain’t Easy.”

      • Haha…exactly Shadow state. She’s been working her ass off for years now, trying so hard to find women dumber than herself to trick into screwing an ugly , old cross-eyed pedophile. I’m sure it’s been a challenge to find women this dumb …which is why she needed to look for the really young and impressionable ones.
        Who wants to give all that up without a bit of a fight?

  • Apparently it’s quite common for women who have been trafficked to end up trafficking others. Allison may in fact just be the most famous example of a disgusting form of victimization that is unfortunately common.

    • Yes. Understanding how is what allows us to emaphize with victims

      How did he control her and others? Read this from a 12 year insider.

      https://frankreport.com/2017/08/06/12-year-nxivm-veteran-speaks-out/

      Allison is much like Elizabeth smart, and the victims of Jim Jones and David Koresh.

  • On Saturday (the day after Allison was arrested), Michele Hatchette updated her profile picture on Facebook, and one of the “reactions” was Nicki Clyne “loving” the pic. From what I read in this blog, it sounds like those 2 plus Allison all lived together in Knox Woods at some point (before Allison moved in with Keith). At the same time, Allison allegedly married Nicki – with some saying its a sham/easy way for her to stay in US, etc.

    SO, what’s the deal here? Nicki’s “wife” or whatever is in jail, she’s loving another alleged DOS slave’s pictures – does that mean that Nicki and Michelle are both still in DOS? Are neither of them in anymore?? Any ideas?

    • And it doesn’t seem like people who are still in would be publicly interacting with those who have left either.

        • Well if Allison is a “traitor” then if Nicki was sufficiently brainwashed then she would drop her instantly. For the moment let’s assume the marriage isn’t a sham, or at least that the two are incredibly close which was why Allison was the one to do the marrying, that still might not be enough to block out the “offense” of betraying her “Messiah”.

          On the other hand, I think in a perfect world, the supposed tact Mack, Clyne , and Oxenburg had wasn’t to take the fall but that if any of them were arrested they would sell Keith up the river. It’s unlikely but possible. Michelle also seems to be close to them judging by social media, at least closer than the other slaves, and since she’s receiving far less media attention than any of the others she might also be safe or part of this “deal”. After all watching him hauled off the way he was in that video might have been enough to make Allison and Nicki, who were present at the time, realize he was mortal.

    • I know Frank likes to do that. Its what gets him clicks. Its commonly called clickbait

      Serve up the same news, with a different article and photo and change it just slightly.

  • Friends of Allison seem to be consistent in saying:

    1. She was a well intentioned person
    2. Liked self help books
    3. They hope she comes out ok

    This is drastically different from people who have known Keith.

        • When I was in college over 40 years ago, I was approached by a young woman recruiting for Scientology, the inspiration for Raniere’s NXIVM.

          Her spiel was so transparent and phony that I threw away the brochure in a New York minute.

          If Ms. Mack could not perceive that Keith Raniere is a charlatan and fraud, she has some serious mental health issues.

          • You misunderstand. That’s okay. That’s just your brain getting slower. YOU’RE ANCIENT.

            “Ageing causes changes to the brain size, vasculature, and cognition. The brain shrinks with increasing age and there are changes at all levels from molecules to morphology.”

            Learn more, if you’re able: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596698/

          • And sophisticated youngsters like you can understand the appropriateness of tricking women into branding and sexual slavery?
            Right and Wrong do not change.
            Branding and Enslaving Women is WRONG.
            Allison Mack’s good intentions are irrelevant.

          • Your logic is faulty Shadowstate. You are making the assumption that everyone in this world responds to stimuli the same. What makes one person scared, makes another person laugh. What makes one person run for the hills, makes another feel fulfilled. What makes one person like a person’s music, makes another hate it.

            As for mental health issues. It’s very probable that she does have issues. But based on your postings, it’s clear you also have issues as you are obsessed by her and keep posting about her. So, one person can comment once and walk away, and another person comes back and keeps posting the same stuff. That’s you. Why couldn’t you perceive what is healthy and unhealthy? Because you have mental health issues. AKA you are no better than Allison Mack.

            Once again, you have proven you speak before you think.

          • The problem is that too many commenters on this forum do not appreciate the evil that Ms. Mack did.
            They perceive her as Chloe Sullivan, a character on a TV show.
            You defend behavior that is anti-social by a person who is clearly a sociopath.

            If you believe that Ms. Mack is merely a well intentioned person, read this story about her posted just last night.
            https://frankreport.com/2018/04/25/allison-mack-and-sex-cult-leader-raniere-may-have-trafficked-teen-and-preteen-girls-from-chihuahua-mexico/

          • Your information is wrong once again shadowstate.

            It wasn’t Allison who branded anyone

            It was the doctor Danielle.

            Go get your facts right before you spew your hate

          • Your ad hominem argument is pathetic, but not surprising, considering your age and shrinking brain size. You can’t help being ancient. Go back to your alt-right incel realm where small brain size is highly valued.

          • So because you saw through the spiel of a random woman on the street means Allison should have not trusted someone she’d known for years who recommended the courses to her? Getting people in the door is one of the hardest tasks for cults. That’s why NIXVM’s word of mouth approach worked, people you know talking about how they liked the course, and probably being unable to relate all the details of the sixty hour cram session that mixed brainwashing, wishy washy crap, and enough decent advice to get people to come back. You trust you’re friend so you go, even if your a skeptic, as Sarah Edmonson was, you’re still at risk of being sucked in. A number of very smart people have fallen for KR and his tricks, and don’t forget, no matter how obvious he comes off, it’s doubtful he’s the first person most potential members meet, not till they’re already solidly on the hook.

          • The world is full of sharks.
            Once Allison Mack became an adult she became responsible for protecting herself from sharks.

            I am sorry if Ms. Mack could could perceive that Keith Raniere is a charlatan.
            But that does not absolve Ms. Mack from her culpability in torturing and raping women.

    • You are very right.

      Before 2006 she had no criminal record ( keith did )

      How did he control her and others? Read this from a 12 year insider.

      https://frankreport.com/2017/08/06/12-year-nxivm-veteran-speaks-out/

  • One thing that should be made clear before (haters and speculators) get all excited and hard in your pants…. these are charges STEMMING from allegations

    They have yet to be proven as true in a court of law. (It hasn’t yet ).

    They were in the existing allegations.(naughty naught Frank trying to squeeze out another article from information you have already covered )

    But just to keep things in perspective.

    If the court believed that she was culpable of these charges, there is no way in hell she would have made bail. The reason why KEITH has not been offered the option of bail and ALLISON was is because the courts have obviously been given enough reason to believe that.

    A. She is a victim in this case and on May 3rd, they will prove that (If you have a hard time wrapping your head around that, consider Elizabeth Smart and why she didn’t run, consider Stockholm Syndrome, consider why women don’t leave abusive relationships). There is a reason we have the #metoo movement. Of course haters who want to see mack go down (aka shadowstate1958) who trolls every day because Mack turned him down on twitter (yes we have the screenshots to prove it ) will continue to hate.

    B. She is not responsible for the allegations unless proven culpable (which has not happened yet)

    C. She is not a flight risk or a danger to anyone (unlike Keith ); that’s why the courts have let her go on bail.

    Also regarding indictment.

    I think for importance of all the retards who frequent this comment section (aka shadowstate, tex2, brigid ) that you understand what indictment of charges means.

    Read this from a lawyer who understands more than anyone here.

    https://www.barryboches.com/criminal-law/what-does-it-mean-to-be-indicted/

    Now, because i know you are a little bit slow, I will summarize the best parts below so you can wrap your head around this case

    1. The grand jury knows that the burden of proof is very low, and they also know that the defendant won’t be sentenced or anything.

    2. “Indictment just means the process has moved forward, and the fact of the indictment itself can’t be used against anyone at trial, because it is not allowed to be seen as evidence against them.”

    3. When people turn on the TV and hear that a grand jury indicted someone, they usually have no idea what that means, but it actually means nothing more than the case moved forward; it’s evidence of nothing.

    Evidence of nothing? What did I just read? Yes, that’s right. It’s evidence of nothing

    Its simply allegations PRIOR to a trial

    Often, it doesn’t go to trial if a plea deal is made.

      • Try as you must Shadowstate, your smear campaign won’t work.

        I’m sorry that Allison turned you down on Twitter and you were humiliated and now you fuel your anger into this blog even though your mother only allows you 30 mins a day on the internet but your speculation and repeating the same doesn’t do anything but show how ignorant you are of law and the way things work.

        • “Who shall we cast for Disney’s new family friendly movie?”
          “How about Allison Mack the actress who likes to brand and enslave women? The people in Peoria will like to see some uplifting entertainment from a moral degenerate like that.”

          • shadowstate go back to fapping off over smallville memorabilia. We know you were turned down by allison mack and that’s why you only focus on her on this blog.

            We see through your speculation

  • Note: Warning before entering the comments section:

    You are about to experience a feast of word salad served by haters of Madams Mack and Kreuk. Although they may have reached adulthood, these haters are still living in Smallville.

    And by the way, this is basically a speculation blog (probably the most specualting one ever). The more you hate on A. Mack, it is likely all the more truth about Ms. Mack being a victim will continue to be seen here.

    To the Mack apologist who stated elsewhere that Danielle Roberts, D.O., was responsible for branding the slaves and not Ms. Mack, I guess that means all the haters should crawl back under a rock?

    Even if she testifies against Raniere/Bronfman/Salzman, Chloe needs some therapy
    She’s been victimized

      • She didn’t brand them you idiot. It was the doctor Danielle Roberts who did it. Get your facts right before speculating like an idiot shadowstate.

        • And by your faulty reasoning Hitler did not kill any Jews.
          Hitler only ordered his followers to kill Jews.

          Allison Mack deceived women into submitting to this branding ritual and supervised the process.
          Allison Mack is as guilty as Danielle Roberts.

  • So there are still people defending the reprehensible Pimp Mack.

    Allison Mack for years played the “Girl Next Door.”

    Well Allison Mack is the Girl Next Door if you live next door to SATAN.

    • So there is still Shadowstate spending his every waking hour hating on AM because she turned him down on twitter (we all saw the tweets ) and now his obsession with fapping off to smallville memorabilia has reached new heights.

      He thrives on speculation instead of getting an understanding the law and how it works. If he knew better, he would understand what SPECULATION means.

  • While I’m sure Frank has left this comment section open so that everyone can voice an opinion, ask questions, make observations, etc., it appears most comments have become extremely childish and argumentative .

    It’s hard to believe these people are spending so much time writing these idiotic rants and immature insults. Facts are facts, and facts are what law enforcment will be using to try those charged. Law enforcement doesn’t give a fuck about any of your opinions on any of these topics.

    Law enforcement does care if you think Alison is a victim. Law enforcement doesn’t care about your hearsay anecdotal stories . None of that is fact .

    Writing repetitive posts on the same topics for days makes me wonder what is going on here.
    Paid trolls or mentally ill fans ?

    • I absolutely believe there is a mental illness issue with people repeating the exact same post over and over again on every single article posted on the site.
      Trolling for the sake of trolling… Isn’t that its own form of mental illness?

  • I can’t believe people don’t get that there’s a difference between pleading guilty and and working on a plea deal.

  • Something I’m not clear on and would like explained: has Frank actually ever met Allison? He never seems to divulge his own experiences and personal impressions of her. His time with NXIVM must have overlapped with her’s. Come on Frank, what interactions did you have?

    • He hasn’t had any interactions with her or the other women. That’s what makes some of the blog posts laughable. They are clearly clickbait to get more traffic. And I understand why. he wants to keep NXIVM in the spotlight but at the extent of peoples lives? At the rate he’s going Allison will get cleared on may 3rd, and then her lawyers will sue him for slander lol

      • Victim? Really? She chose this path. By your reasoning the fact she also chose to be an actress, means she is a “victim” of acting too? This “victim” attitude is so pervasive in this culture. It solves nothing.

        • People have forgotten the notion of free will.
          Allison Mack was a famous well to do actress.
          She had more freedom to choose her own path than 99% of humanity.
          Far more freedom than the teen aged Mexican girls brought to America to work as house slaves under Allison Mack’s direction.
          https://frankreport.com/2018/04/25/allison-mack-and-sex-cult-leader-raniere-may-have-trafficked-teen-and-preteen-girls-from-chihuahua-mexico/
          Yet Allison Mack of her own free will chose to enslave herself to a charlatan and hurt others in the process.
          Allison Mack might be a good actress but she is a moral imbecile.

          • Don’t listen to shadowstate; he is being paid by clare bronfman to smear Allison’s name in order for her to take the fall. Allison is a victim in this and she will be presenting evidence on may 3rd that will show you who has been at the helm of all of this.

            Allison is no different than Elizabeth Smart who didn’t run from her captor, or abused women who don’t leave a abusive relationship.

            And like those who were victims of Jim Jones and David Koresh.

            Only those who don’t understand how cults work won’t understand.

            Go look; you will see that shadowstate ONLY focuses on allison mack no one else thats because he is paid by Clare Bronfman. They want Allison to take the fall and you watch. Once it comes to light on May 3rd when she throws them under the bus, he will switch to someone like India or Nicki Clyne

          • FYI
            I have never met Clare Bronfman.
            If she is paying me money, the check has yet to arrive in the mail.

            Allison herself supposedly was tricked or coerced to making a false confession.
            Allison Mack to confess: “I take full blame for DOS. Keith knew nothing about it!”
            https://frankreport.com/2017/08/04/allison-mack-to-confess-i-take-full-blame-for-dos-keith-knew-nothing-about-it/

            As for Allison Mack being the same as Elizabeth Smart, Elizabeth was only 14 years old when she was kidnapped from her home.
            Allison Mack joined the NXIVM cult as a full grown woman and the allegations against her in the indictment occurred when Allison Mack was in her 30s.

            I focus on Pimp Mack because after the 2016 death of Pam Cafritz, Mack took over as the #2 in Raniere’s Freak Show.
            Pimp Mack took over her new role with relish.

            As for me I would prefer that ALL of the leaders of NXIVM be thrown under the bus.
            They are ALL Moral Imbeciles.

  • Frank, you won. Allison Mack can’t do any more harm to anyone. Time to savour the moment and move on.

      • tex2 (Scott Johnson) your hate for allison, and your love of guns and sheep and amway are disturbing.

        Allison is the victim and that will be proven on May 3rd

  • Warning before entering the comments section:

    You are about to experience a feast of word salad served by lovelorn fans of Madams Mack and Kreuk. Although they may have reached adulthood, these fans are still living in Smallville.

    And by the way, this is basically a revenge blog (probably the most effective one ever). The more you protest about the depictions of A. Mack, it is likely all the more such depictions of your adorkable Ms. Mack will continue to be seen here.

    To the Mack apologist who stated elsewhere that Danielle Roberts, D.O., was responsible for branding the slaves and not Ms. Mack, I guess this means Hitler was not responsible for the Holocaust?

    Even if she testifies against Raniere/Bronfman/Salzman, Chloe needs some incarceration.
    She’s been a very bad girl.

    • “Danielle Roberts, D.O., was responsible for branding the slaves” I actually do hold a doctor to a higher standard because they aren’t supposed to ever deliberately hurt people. I never said that Mack wasn’t accountable but the person who did the actual branding is a licensed doctor–when all is said and done, Danielle Roberts should never be able to practice medicine again.

      That does not mean that Allison Mack is not responsible for helping to brand anyone. I hope this clears things up for you 🙂

        • Scott Johnson of Texas who fondles sheep, caresses guns, and sells Amway. Go back to your war-on-Christmas incel life. No one cares what you think.

        • So, the only opinions that are valid are yours and those that think like you? And why would you tell me that “we” don’t care what you think? Is that the “royal we” or all of the delusional voices in your head? You are a very sad man.

          • Don’t bother. I’ve had conversations with this “gentleman” on another site. His side of the conversation involves repeating himself, childish insults, and accusing you of “trying to sound smart” if he gets boxed into a corner. He makes any side he’s on look bad by association.

          • Lena, ignore this fool. I’ve seen you on various posts and you ask good questions, contribute to the discussion in a thoughtful way, and are actually sensible.

        • And Scott Johnson (tex2) We don’t care about your sheep, guns or amway but we put up with your crap on this blog

        • Hey, Lena is actually able to put thoughtful discussions. I’d rather read 1000 posts from Lena, than have to be subjected to your simplistic, misogynistic thoughts for even a second. No one cares what you think, Tex!

          • To everyone who has responded maturely and thoughtfully to this discussion–thank you and keep on keeping on 🙂 Staying civil and respectful to others is the key to getting the truth out in any situation. Stay well 🙂

      • Ms Roberts was executing the brandings for sure, but whether she is responsible or not remains to be seen. What I do not understand at the moment is the intention behind branding slaves as she risks her entire career for nothing. Maybe there was a loaded gun pointing at her head before and she was somehow forced. This might save her somehow. But even then, it should be hard for her to be employed again.

      She’s been victimized

  • Did Allison first meet Raniere in 2006 or 2007. According to Frank, it was both.

    On April 24th, Frank wrote ”Allison Mack was a star when she met Keith Raniere in 2006.” In the HollywoodLife article, he cites above he’s quoted as saying ” When Allison first joined in 2007, she went to a weekend-long women’s retreat in Vancouver called Jness.” “They love bombed her all weekend and then at the end of the weekend, Claire Bronfman, a billionaire Seagram’s Liquor heiress (who is also a huge part of Nxivm) flew Allison on a private jet to Albany, New York to meet Keith.”

    How about when Allison and Keith started having sex.? Was it 2010 or 2012?

    On April 24th, Frank wrote, “She began a sexual relationship with him around 2012. On April 10, “George Forbisher” wrote, ” Sometime in 2010 or thereabouts, Allison Mack left her computer open. There was an email on the screen. One of her friends saw it and was shocked: It was an email from Keith Raniere – leader of NXIVM – the sex-slaver, blackmailer and branding cult leader – to Allison Mack. It read in effect: ‘If you and I want to have sex, you have to make a vow to have sex only with me.”

    And speaking of dates. How long was Cat Oxenberg involved with NXIVM herself if she actually did introduce India into it in 2011 because in 2012, she’s tweeting NXIVM gals about having a “huge integration” and in 2013 and 2014, she’s excitedly tweeting DOS pal VanyHuber about the great progress she’s making that she wants to share and asking her to take care of India for her during V-week?

  • Okay I think for importance of all the retards who frequent this comment section (aka shadowstate, tex2, brigid ) that you understand what indictment of charges means.

    Read this from a lawyer.

    https://www.barryboches.com/criminal-law/what-does-it-mean-to-be-indicted/

    Now because i know you are a little bit slow I will summarize the best parts below so you can wrap your head around this case

    1. The grand jury knows that the burden of proof is very low, and they also know that the defendant won’t be sentenced or anything.

    Evidence of nothing? What did i just read? Yes that’s right. It’s evidence of nothing

    Its simply allegations PRIOR to a trial

    Often it doesn’t go to trial if a plea deal is made. Which in Allison’s case may happen.

    Sorry Keith you don’t get a pass ( state has determine you are going down )

  • Frank Parlato, at first I thought you genuinely wanted to help but now I can see you are trying to squeeze as much as you can out of the Allison side of the story simply because she is a celebrity and that brings you clicks. You aren’t focusing on Keith or Clyde or saltzman as much because no one is searching for info on them. I’m getting tired of your click bait articles and attempts to twist people’s minds regarding Allison. You even end this article with the word…..MAY. You don’t have facts just assumptions and charges stemmed from allegations that have yet to be handled in courting may 3rd but that’s a long way off so you are attempting to fill in the gaps with speculation based articles so your website can get hits. I’m starting to think there is a good reason why you have a federal indictment against you.

    • You know nothing, Jon Snow. Also, it’s not your blog, so quit being so tedious. You’re making an ass out of u.

    • Actually, he has been doing a great job.
      1st he went after Raniere. Keith got arrested
      2nd he called it a Raniere Mack cult. Alison got arrested
      3rd he is calling it a Raniere Bronfman cult. Hopefully, Clare gets arrested
      After that, I imagine he will set his sights on the Salzman Duo.

      Maybe it will take some twists along the way, but Frank has been shedding light on the entire operation. He is exposing everyone while focusing on them one at a time. It is a smart way to do it.

  • We need to clarify a few things:

    * DOS was the sex slave cult. Not NXIVM. I’m a single heterosexual male who took NXIVM and I got zero sex while in the cult. If NXIVM was a sex cult and I got no sex, I would feel like even more of a failure. There were a lot of beautiful women. But still I had no sex. And the women weren’t there for sex. At least not with me.

    * In DOS, the only people who really seemed to benefit were Keith and Pimp Mack. When you say a sex slave cult, it suggests that maybe there was benefit to more than 1-2 people. But nope. Zero benefit. Imagine having to sleep with Keith. VOMIT.

    * NXIVM was created so Keith could defraud people, turn them into sociopaths, and have sex with the super skinny women during V-Week and in Albany. So, in sense it was a sex cult but I’d still prefer not to call it that because I got no sex. Like zero. Despite many women. Nada. Nothing.

    So, rather than embarrassing those of us who were in NXIVM for plagiarized motivational courses (not knowing the point was for Keith to get crazy amounts of sex), please let’s keep DOS as the Sex Slave club that it was and just call NXIVM a cult.

    Thank you.

    • Very good point to make (and I wasn’t in either )

      The problem with Frank’s journalism is its fueled by his anger over his own indictment

      And he knows that the names (keith, clyne, and brofnman and saltzman ) don’t get as many hits as (Allison and India )

      And why wait until May 3rd for Allison’s hearing (where things can be proven ) when you can fill in the time with clickbait articles and skew things together

      Enough Frank. Stick to the facts, don’t speculate otherwise you won’t be taken as seriously.

      • It’s always rich to read the comments section on here. On just about every article there’s always that one person that thinks it’s their job to come onto Frank’s blog, that he’s been running for years, to tell him what he should be writing about instead.

        This is his site, and he can run it however he chooses. You can go somewhere else or, better yet, start your own blog since you seem to know what should and shouldn’t be included.

        Frankly, if more sensational articles about Allison Mack are what it takes to bring this publicity, then I’m all for it. Not to mention that only two people have been indicted so far, and one of them happens to be none other than Allison Mack. Her arrest and release happened in the last week, so maybe, just maybe that’s why she’s been the topic of discussion lately.

        If you go back through this site, you will find that Frank has devoted more than enough space to all the people who you seem to think should be the focus.

        Either way, Frank is the one who has devoted countless hours to expose these people, and it’s not for you or anyone else to tell him how he should be doing it.

        • Hey dickhead read the bit at the top about indictment and what it means as you are obviously as thick as 2 planks.

          • Hey dumbass I know what indicted means idiot. I’m sure your little googled tutorial is lovely but I’ll pass. And I’m actually 3 planks thick. Get it right next time or I shall never reply to your hilarious rants again

        • Matthison, you have already proven you are a hillybilly who spends his time jerking off to smallville memorabilia. So, no, you have not proven you know what it means to be indicted. Now crawl back under the rock you came out from.

      • You’re committing a fundamental attribution error. Ascribing internal characteristics to external factors You make assumptions about character and intentions. Internal things you cannot know. You imagine what the situation would be like and feel like if you were in it, if you were contemplating posting this post, what would it mean to you. But that’s you. Not Frank Parlato. He’s got his own rhyme and reason in how he does things, the things he does is helping bring about justice, and it’s his blog so he can do what he wants.

        • I agree with your conclusion, but you need to learn how to say more with less. The amount of syllables you used per word in order to make your point made it hard to read.

      • Listen, I think he resorts to petty and personal attacks a lot and he’s unprofessional as hell. But he’s doing good work and if it weren’t for him and his “sources”, Cathrine Oxenburg and Sarah Edmonson might not have been able to light the fire under the FBI’s ass like they did.

        He’s an Asshole, but assholes can still be heroes. He probably doesn’t have anything new at the moment with them closing ranks and the moles and wanna be escapees are probably being closely watched.

        It’s time for a major uprising ladies. They don’t have the pull to hurt you anymore if you just walk into a courthouse and say “I’d like to make a deal”.

    • Absolutely hysterical. I can relate and have thought the exact same things many times.

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.” He also appeared in "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM, and was 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.
