Clare Today, Gone Tomorrow – Clare Bronfman plus three other members of Bronfman-Raniere-NXIVM crime syndicate indicted

CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK…Four more sets of shoes just dropped in the Federal government’s ongoing attempt to take down the Bronfman-Raniere-NXIVM crime syndicate as indictments were unsealed earlier today against Clare Bronfman, Nancy “Prefect” Salzman, Lauren Salzman, and Kathy Russell.  Both Salzmans and Kathy Russell were arrested by Federal agents earlier today – and are expected to be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Albany, NY sometime this afternoon.

Although an indictment was also unsealed against Clare Bronfman, it is not yet clear where – and when – she will be arraigned. In addition to financing virtually all of the illegal activities of the crime syndicate for the past 15 years, Bronfman has also served as NXIVM’s Director of Operations for the past several years (No word as of yet as to whether her sister, Sarah Bronfman-Igtet, will also be indicted at some point in time).

Prior to today’s arrests, the Feds have previously charged Keith Alan Raniere and Allison Mack with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy. Raniere is currently being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, and Mack is under house arrest at her parents’ home in California (Both are scheduled to appear in Federal court tomorrow in Brooklyn).

The specific charges against the four new defendants are still under seal but will be revealed at their arraignments. The speculation, however, is that at least some of the charges will involve financial matters such as money laundering, tax evasion, etc.

This story will be updated as new information becomes available…

 

 

The time is now for Clare Bear…                        
Mama Salzman in happier times                                

Lauren Salzman [right] came home from college to find her mother Nancy [left] in partnership with the world’s smartest and most ethical man in the world.
Soon Lauren started learning from the smartest most ethical man in the world..
Viva Executive Success!

  • I wonder what legal strategy Clare’s lawyers have planned, considering Clare is most likely funding Raniere’s defence too.

    Popcorn ready.

  • OMG. And, THANK GOD! The relief is real. Bronfmans indicted! I swear I thought I’d never see this happen. I know it’s a long way from their going to prison, but this is nearly as good!

    • Yes, it is a complete shocker. I never thought any of this would happen. Usually money insulates people in our society, almost no matter what the crime. As a prior poster stated, had it not been for the branding publicity, KR and his organization would be carrying on their covert operations well under the radar. Bravo! Thanks to all who have made this happen: Frank, Toni, Catherine, John T. Rick Ross, EDNY, the Judge, and others unnamed.

  • The reports are all over the news. Sounds like handcuff action for some of them. The perp walk with the metal braces around their wrists. Harvey Weinstein contortions and twists. Those awful courtroom drawings, that reflect on the people so unflatteringly.

    Frank Parlato is the clear winner today.

    There are a couple of questions that I still have. Was Clare Bronfman actually subjected to the humiliation of being arrested and cuffed and taken out of her house before camera men? Or does Clare’s attorney get to be informed beforehand, so Clare can gracefully surrender herself in the back door of the courthouse, without anyone watching? Does Clare get to keep her dignity because she’s a Bronfman?

    Also, what about Little India Oxenberg, slave girl-recruiter? That kid (who’s kind of pudgy now) didn’t get picked up in this sweep?

    Anyway, congratulations on this huge win, Frank.

  • Hope the Salzmans are under suicide watch. In her previous incarnation as Adolph Hitler, Nancy committed suicide before she got to trial.

  • This is awesome to hear!
    Thanks for bringing us the latest Frank!
    So glad to hear that they have been arrested.Wonder where Clare is hiding?

  • The Times-Union says the Salzmans were arrested, but it DOESNT say Clare Bronfman was arrested.

    Time to start tracking that private jet tail number ….

  • New charges are also expected against Keith Raniere and Allison Mack.
    Those charges might be revealed tomorrow in the hearing in Brooklyn, New York at the ED NY courthouse.
    Moreover, since Nicki Clyne and India Oxenburg both live in New York City now, if charges are brought against those two they might be arraigned in Brooklyn.

    • Time for the adults to reenter the conversation. Most of what we’re getting is giddy, child-like comments and stupid imposters. Too bad everyone knows that clicking on the real @ScottTexJohnson’s name goes to a link to his twitter account, where they can then visit my websites. Thanks for the free publicity, LOSER! LOL

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.” In addition, he was credited in the Starz docuseries 'Seduced' for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

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.
