Just to show readers that the financial crimes that are now being charged were no secret to the public and law enforcement, here is a reprint of JOhn Tighe’s blog for MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012
NXIVM Cult Summit on Necker Island; Atlas might have Shrugged but Raniere hid.
The meeting of the NXIVM elite that took place on Necker Island in 2010 was much like the infamous meeting of senior officials of the Nazi German regime at the Wannsee Conference, which was held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee in opulent surrounding on January 20 1942 to plan the elimination of the Jews in the “final solution” – or the historic summit of Mafiosi from all over the United States, Canada and Italy, which took place on November 14, 1957 at the palatial New York estate of mafia boss Joseph Barbara, where leading mobsters cut up their La Cosa Nostra operations such as gambling, casinos, and narcotics among themselves. NXIVM held the Necker Island summit to conspire and organize and restructure its illegal enterprise.
All three of these meeting had many similarities. All took place in luxurious surrounding, where guests dined on and drank the finest food and wines. None of the participants at these meetings wanted their attendance to become public knowledge but, in all three cases they did and in all three there was a lot more going on than just a little socializing by old friends.
The spring of 2010 saw NXIVM in a bind. Continued negative press here and in the mainstream media had severely cut enrollment in the Capital Region. In spite of this, the increasingly paranoid and agoraphobic cult leader Keith Raniere was loath to leave the region – and was, in fact, pretty much in hiding at the time. Under these circumstances, Sara Bronfman called a conference of the leading figures of NXIVM to plot the future of the cult.
Sara picked up the phone to her old buddy Richard Branson and made arrangements for a plush conference in a beautiful surrounding. Sara was in charge of the exclusive guest list which included Nancy Salzman and Jim Del Negro as Keith Raniere’s personal emissaries.
Clare Bronfman named herself Chief of Operations. The failed equestrian is also in charge of most of NXIVM’s charitable trusts; I will have much more on that later this week.
Rounding out the board, we have former Keith Raniere sex toy, Lauren Salzman named as Chairman of Education. Described as one of the leading authorities in Rational Inquiry, she is said to have been presented to Keith Raniere as a sexual gift by her mother, cult priestess Nancy Salzman.
And finally, Karen Unterreiner was named Executive of Humanities. Unterreiner, the aging grand dame of NXIVM, is perhaps one of Raniere’s must loyal toadies. She would prefer to die than betray her guru.
Well, once the board was hashed out and hurt feelings stroked, about who was in and who was out, the attendees began to plot the massive logistics of moving massive amounts of money around the globe to avoid taxation.
NXIVM had been using an inefficient method of transferring large amounts of cash across the border into the US. The Mexican operation is almost always conducted in cash and in US$. The money, once across the border, was then simply sent by mail to a series of PO boxes in the capital region….
Participants, having set up their new power structure and with new money laundering ideas being batted around, went back home to preach to the masses, the very rich masses or young masses that is.
And what about Necker Island you ask? Well the great house where many of these pictures were taken burnt to the ground
Goodnight

- OMG. Didn’t the house burning down happen just last year?
I heard about that, but what I couldn’t have possibly known was NXIVM and crew had a meeting there until you posted these series of blog posts.
What is that saying again? If you play with fire, expect to be burned. Or is it, if you sleep with the devil, expect to be burned?
Such are signs for people [who can get their heads out of the sand long enough] to reflect.

- This is just too weird, I mean really weird. The Bronfman’s have enough money (or they did) that they shouldn’t need to worry about laundering it. So what is the money being used for? What are they trying to accomplish? Is the money going back to Mexico to fund the Drug War so the Salinas or Betancourt families can get back into power? Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone Magazine has written excellent pieces on the Cartels and the Drug War in Mexico. Wonder if he ever heard about Betancourt/Salinas and NXIVM.
Or… VanDouchebag is sick enough to believe he can control the world and create a sovereign government and I’m sure he knows of or has heard theories of the Illuminati. Maybe he is putting forth a plan to infiltrate the Illuminati using RI and EM’s (until two weeks ago I had no idea what any of that mumbo jumbo was). Lastly, Maybe he hates Jews especially Jewish women. I may be wrong but Cafritz, Salzmann, Bronfman are at least all or part Jewish by birth or origin. Maybe Raniere’s mommy was Jewish and this is his pay back.
Useless bit of info MLS #5975841 6677 Upper York Road aka Slate Hill Farm aka Clare Bronfman’s horse farm listing is no longer active the last asking price found was $3.4M about 50% of what it originally was listed for.

- Great reporting! You’re doing an amazing job. Now coverage of this little retreat makes sense. I was thinking you were losing your edge-becoming a society gossip reporter. The ending, the fire, amazing story. You should win the Pultizer!

- Thank you John. Scary stuff. I know not of your sources, but I’m praying that the tax evasion and money laundering allegations hold up enough to eventually burn this outfit to the ground (just like that beach house, talk about Karma). It’s exactly what tripped up Al Capone if I’m not mistaken.
Interestingly, these posted vacation photos have made it into the Smallville fan websites and Twitter. Some are listing the source as your URL, too. I hope this will serve to heighten mainstream awareness about this group and inspire criminal investigation and more legal action soon.

- Is it sad that this article reminded me of NXIVM?

- @H – Saw the same article and was thinking the same thing about local “Public Servants”.

[…] What John Tighe said is referenced here: https://frankreport.com/2018/08/03/blast-from-the-past-john-tighe-reports-on-the-new-nxivm-board-nam… […]
[…] Why would he say that? Why lie? He provided enough evidence and allegations in his article, why would he lie about that? If such a conversation took place on the island, why wouldn’t Kreuk know about it and taken part?https://frankreport.com/2018/08/03/blast-from-the-past-john-tighe-reports-on-the-new-nxivm-board-nam… […]

Sounds like the prosperity gospel. Which has done great for Joel Osteen, and Keith Raniere’s never been fussy about how he gets money. Ethics are for chumps. Raniere cobbles his “philosophy” together from other people’s ideas and is happy to separate rich people from their wealth by whatever means necessary. From The Prosperity Gospel by Cathleen Falsani published in the Washington Post:
“In the Gospel of Saint Matthew, we are told that Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and money” and, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
The “prosperity gospel,” an insipid heresy whose popularity among American Christians has boomed in recent years, teaches that God blesses those God favors most with material wealth.
The ministries of three televangelists commonly viewed as founders of the prosperity gospel movement – Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and Frederick K.C. Price – took hold in the 1970s and 1980s. One of the oldest and best-known proponents of prosperity theology, Oral Roberts – the television faith-healer who in 1987 told his flock that God would call him home if he didn’t raise $8 million in a matter of weeks – died at 91 last week.
But the past decade has seen this pernicious doctrine proliferate in more mainstream circles. Joel Osteen, the 46-year-old head of Lakewood Church in Houston, has a TV ministry that reaches more than 7 million viewers, and his 2004 book “Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential,” has sold millions of copies. “God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us,” Osteen wrote in a 2005 letter to his flock..
Few theological ideas ring more dissonant with the harmony of orthodox Christianity than a focus on storing up treasures on Earth as a primary goal of faithful living. The gospel of prosperity turns Christianity into a vapid bless-me club, with a doctrine that amounts to little more than spiritual magical thinking: If you pray the right way, God will make you rich.”
Would this version of Scott get the fuck off of this thread
“Public Servants” then became “Pubic Servants”
“Juliana Vicente (Mark Vicente’s mother) was given the task of emptying these boxes each week, but the sheer volume of these pickups was starting to draw attention.”
Why retract Juliana Vicente’s name?
There was more then one person collecting “Mail” from the Post Office boxes in the Capitol region.
Who else?
If you can read between the lines of what Frank put in bold letters concerning Mark, he redacted the name for that persons protection. Yes, the name is out there on the Wayback machine but some things are better left unsaid.
Quite so, the implication of this redaction is heartening, in terms of nxivm’s demise.
Holy Smokes. Is this for real? Scary as Hell.
Where is Karen Unterreiner?
Hopefully she got fed up with the abuse and is cutting a deal
The lawsuit by John O’Hara filed against Keith Raniere just weeks before John Tighe’s above report, alleging crimes by KR and others, and “naming” Hildreth, Kreuk and others as persons who “may” be involved or have knowledge of those crimes…was 10 months later “dismissed with prejudice” against Tighe, who could no longer pursue the lawsuit due to illness.

People call Kristin Kreuk for running away from NXIVM.
They say Kristin Kreuk is a coward.
What about the brave Sir Richard Branson?
Aren’t Knights of the Realm supposed to be brave?
Sir Richard Chickenhearted.
