Feds visit, interview in Knox Woods, Saratoga

Karen Unterreiner

This will be a short post.

According to two sources, the FBI came calling last week in Knox Woods and Saratoga seeking more information and interviewing people regarding the investigation and prosecution of the Bronfman-Raniere crime organization.

New federal felony charges are expected to be leveled against Keith Raniere and Allison Mack most likely by the end of July.

Also expected to be indicted is Clare Bronfman. She was described by the government in court as a longtime criminal co-conspirator with Raniere.

My best guess is that:

VERY LIKELY TO BE INDICTED

   – Clare Bronfman

   – Nancy Salzman

   – Lauren Salzman

   – Karen Unterreiner

   – Rosa Laura Junco

   – Edgar Boone

   – Loreta Garza

 

LIKELY TO BE INDICTED

   – Sara Bronfman

   – Emiliano Salinas

   – Brandon Porter

   – Alejandro Betancourt

 

MAY BE INDICTED ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES

  – James Del Negro

   – Esther Chiappone Carlson

   – [Name redacted]

   – Kathy Russell

   – Brian Elliott

   – Justin Elliott

   – Marc Elliott

   – Benjamin Meyers

   – Steve Ose

   – Michelle Salzman

 

LIKELY TO BE INDICTED ON SEX TRAFFICKING CHARGES

   – Nicki Clyne

   – Michelle Hatchette

   – Monica Duran

   – Dani Padilla

   – Mariana Fernandez

   – Amanda Canning

   – Melissa Rodriguez

   – Sahajo Haertel

   – India Oxenberg

   – Danielle Roberts

   – Lyvia Cohen

****************************************************************************

Time will tell.  But that time is coming soon.  There may be state charges also.

I doubt the dudes in the pictures I sent had a signed consent form. You have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal court, and it’s probably not much different in front of the medical licensing board. Also, the word is “lose,” not “loose.” Civil court is another matter, the burden of proof is much less.

A word of warning to those NXIVM members listed above who are not American citizens.
(Nicki Clyne, Saharjo Haertel, Monica Duran, Dani Padilla, Mariana Fernandez and Melissa Rodriguez take note.)

If convicted of human trafficking and other sexual offenses you will, after serving your sentence in prison, be deported.
An Aggravated Felony Can Get a Non-Citizen Removed (Deported)
The U.S. immigration law concerning deportability for having committed an aggravated felony.

Among the various crimes that can make a non-citizen of the United States deportable are so-called aggravated felonies. Someone who is in the United States with a visa or a green card (lawful permanent residence), and who commits an aggravated felony, can be removed or deported.

(K) owning, controlling, managing, or supervising a prostitution business; transportation for the purpose of prostitution if committed for commercial advantage; or peonage, slavery, involuntary servitude, or trafficking in persons

If anyone in NXIVM is convicted of crimes like sex trafficking of children, they can face years or even a lifetime of registering as a convicted sex offender.

How many of those people listed above were involved of sex trafficking of children?

In Chicago at the John Hancock Building Observation deck a manager was just fired for being convicted of “perv play” in 2015. And he failed to register as a sex offender.

“Hancock observatory manager, under investigation for ‘perv play,’ removed after questions are raised”

Hopefully we will see arrests happening this week or next. Before the next hearing will be nice.
It’s a tangled web that Rainere and his partners in crime have created.

Sara Bronfman thinks she is safe. Dont you think all those private jet trips taken back and forth with Nancy Salzman in and out of Mexico brought a lot of cash on it?

That plane belonged to Clare and Sara.
Sara used to date Edgar Boone, the godfather of Mexico NXIVM.

She thinks because she was “out of the loop” after her marriage she is safe and forgotten.

Some of us have very long memories.

Those are the monthly membership payments made to the Society of Protectors. At the top are the leaders of the Society who received $$$ but did not declare the proceeds as income to the IRS.

NXSCUM senior members never declared ESP income to IRS or CRA as proceeds from courses, coursework, employment, etc. That was part of Keith Raniere’s teachings. Don’t pay taxes bc Gov’t is corrupt.

Don’t worry. I’m sure ICE and IRS have already been notified…

What about NXIVM coaches? Do you know if they declared taxes? What about Sarah Edmondson? If Mark Vicente is a criminal in regards to not declaring money, what about her?

I’m not worried. I’m just curious what made you so certain but I see you are just making an assumption but don’t actually know what individual people may or may not have declared on their tax returns.

But I’m telling you, it was part of the recruitment scheme when I went to the intensive.
If you get into NXIVM you won’t have to pay taxes, anymore.

Some people may have chosen not to buy into it, and filed independently, but I would be very surprised if any of the coaches were reporting any income.

If people who didn’t report just go to the IRS to sort out a deal, they will work it out with them. They can wind up paying way less than whatever the taxes and fines work out to be.

There is no reason to postpone dealing with it and wind up with criminal charges.

I would like to see anyone who piggy backed on Ramtha get indicted.
There is a huge Rainere/Ramtha connection but Frankie is too timid to report on them.
That’s where the bigger picture is.

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

“Frankie” isn’t timid. Those who post anonymously here are timid. Frank has taken on the lawsuit machine aka Bronfmans. You’re a joke, FormerChanneler, just not the funny kind. LOL

FormerChanneler. there is always the possibility of you setting up an exit site for Ramtha, using The Frank Report as a template? while Frank’s house style is inimitable and that has a lot to do with its effectiveness, it’s also the transparent result of thorough research, reconnaissance, interviews, just high, consistent work levels over time. You seem determined and crucially, very knowledgable about this Ramtha cult, you should go for it. As a regular reader and poster here, I’d say the work-rate, is impressive, there’s always something to come back to, but ultimately,Frank Parlato’s courage and integrity underwrite the success of this site.

There is a lot to be said about the reasons why Ramthites entered Raineres universe….and a big reason why the people who have been to Yelm are trying to keep silent.
Do your research Franko.
Look into the Ramtha School of Enlightment cirrulum…. the non disclosure stuff…..

I wanna see some action. I’m antsy. Will the new indictments definitely happen before the end of July? That’s what’s got me sittin’ on the edge of my seat. I wanna see Clare and the Salzmans get it. That’ll be big news.

Seein’ the Vanguard and Allison get slapped with more charges doesn’t mean much to me. It’s the rest of the crew that intrigues me. That kind of drama. Action…indictments.Clare and the Salzmans.

Besides being indicted, Danielle Roberts also needs to lose her license to practice medicine for participating in the branding of women without any form of consent and without using anesthesia–she is the most monstrous out of all the perpetrators because her first oath should be “Do no harm” and she hurt huge numbers of people.

not to see her higher on the list.

I do think losing her medical licence is more likely than her actually getting indicted, though, so she is probably in the right spot.

She can point to whatever she likes

She can point to whatever she likes but if she doesn’t have signed consent forms from those women who are bringing complaints against her now for being branded against their will it won’t impress the court or medical licensing board.
She will not only loose her license, but also be liable in civil court.

Murders upon murders and when people wanted to get out – they were murdered. I am hoping this is not true. It was already horrible enough to learn that they killed Toni Natalie’s dog!

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

I think those are 2 excellent candidates, but may take longer to submit the charges.

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

Frank, what are your thoughts on additional charges against Raniere and Mack? What charges are likely for these two psychos.

To further set the record straight, I have never been to either Albany, New York or Vancouver, British Columbia — the two hotbeds of NXIVM activity.

In 1968, I did fly over the Albany area back and forth to Montreal, Quebec from New York City.

If I did visit Saratoga Country, I would like to see the site of the Battle of Saratoga.

My advice to the people of Knox Woods and Saratoga County is to fully cooperate with the FBI.

Tell the agents the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Don’t embellish the truth.
Don’t hide the truth.

The FBI are there to free your community from an evil plague that local officials were unable or unwilling to deal with.

If there is the possibility that you personally have done something wrong in the NXIVM matter, then hire an attorney to negotiate a deal with the FBI.

I never heard of NXIVM until after Raniere was arrested. Late March 2018.

What caught my eye was a clickbait headline: “TV Actress Next to Be Arrested in Sex Cult.”

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.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
