Frank Report has just learned that the jury in the case of the U.S. v Raniere has reached its verdict in the case – and will be brought back into the courtroom at 2:30 PM to make the announcement. We will be providing an update as soon as possible but, given the numerous charges involved in this case, this does not bode well for Keith Alan Raniere AKA The Vanguard AKA Master AKA Grandmaster.
Normally, in this type of complex case involving multiple charges, the longer the jury is out, the more likely that the defendant will be found innocent – at least on some counts. But with this type of quick turnaround – less than 5 hours of deliberations – it will be shocking if this is not a “GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS” verdict.
Viva Executive Success!

Why is the mini vanguard who ruined as many lives as Raniere, James Del Negro, still out there recruiting? Go, Frank – go get him next. He is truly a smiling demon.
G U I L T Y KIP SIMPSON HAS IT ALL
Oooops….
Guilty on all counts accorrding to NY Post.
Guilty on all counts:
https://news.yahoo.com/nxivm-founder-keith-raniere-convicted-184941736.html
Guilty on all charges!!!!!
“My dream…
June 18, 2019 at 7:38 am
Strawman poll as soon as they begin to deliberate… unanimous guilty on all counts… a little time to chat to make it look good… and done. Everyone goes home happy (even Mark A since he’ll soon be making $ off the appeals) except for Keith. Keith throws a temper tantrum. Good-night, end of story”
I’m waiting for word of the temper tantrum.
That’ll be a legendary hissy fit! 😵
And that’s the power of the jury system. In a civil law jurisdiction, with all Agnifilo’s deliberations ‘what’s the crime here?’ that appeal to professionals (lawyers) Raniere could reasonably expect even an acquittal. But with the working people of Brooklyn – no. I suppose class animosity, as in ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ of Tom Wolfe, did play a role here, too. The jury probably thinks that all of them – Salzmans, Bronfman, Mack – are guilty as hell.
Guilty on all counts. Just announced.
Daily Beast says he was convicted.
Other sites already reporting guilty on all counts.
Pins and needles over here. I keep refreshing Robert Gavin’s twitter feed. It’s been 20min. Come ON already!
I hope they also do something in Mexico and the other countries with his partners
If the government sweeps NXIVM Mexico under the rug, it will be free to rebuild itself under a new name.
Will the rabbit hole now open up . Or will the Allison Macks, Bronfman, Gillibrand et al now be swept under the rug forever.
“Will the rabbit hole now open up?”
That’s an important question.
It would be easy for America’s elite to wipe their hands and say the dirty work is done but they forget about all of the scandals like Jeffrey Epstein where prominent pedophiles with political connections go scot-free.
And no one wants to pry too deeply into ties between NXIVM and prominent politicians in New York State or Mexico.
It’s easy to make Raniere the scapegoat for all of the sins of NXIVM if it helps other wrongdoers avoid justice.
Raniere would never have been able to wreak so much havoc over twenty years without a lot of help from a lot of people.
Under a post yesterday titled Verdict, I predicted a verdict in a day. Happy Vangone day, one and all!!!!
Wow!!! Incredible. Poor little Keith barely had enough time to finish his lunchables and he’ll be back in court for the verdict. Break a leg Keith!!! Buoahahahahahahahahhhhhhaaaa!!!
Just like I said yesterday – SAME DAY VERDICT, GUILTY ALL COUNTS
Your handle name suggests that either you were a part of this cult, or
your spell check auto-corrected itself from NXIVM to Former Nexian Omar.. If not, what is Nexian?
“Nxians” was a term that some members of the NXIVM cult used to describe themselves.
The wait is over…….
A fast verdict usually means a guilty verdict.
