Well, Keith Raniere proved it. He wouldn’t hurt a Fly – Toni Fly, that is.
William Anthony ‘Toni’ Fly, an “intersex” prisoner in federal custody, was Raniere’s cellmate in the Special Housing Unit of USP Tuscon since September.
The BOP has transferred Fly.
He left without making a single charge against Raniere, a departure for an inmate who lodged 75 allegations of sexual harassment against inmates and guards since becoming a federal inmate.
Fly, 54, is currently residing at Oklahoma City Federal Transfer Center.
Fly won’t stay long in Oklahoma City – anywhere from a day or two to a few weeks. He is there to be processed and sent to his next prison assignment.
Raniere alleged in court filings that the BOP assigned Fly as his cellmate, hoping Fly would make a rape allegation against the former Vanguard of NXIVM, plunging Raniere into further difficulties with prison authorities.
During the six months when the two men shared a 12 x 8 cell 23 per day, they seemed to have found a way to coexist. Documents filed in Raniere v Garland claim Fly had episodes of ranting, wailing, screaming, fits of anger, and severe withdrawal caused by the prison authorities withholding his transitioning medications. Still, he did not take it out on Raniere.
The two men went to bat for one another to verify an untoward, unappetizing, and malodorous episode arising from their removal from their SHU cell, so that guards could search it. Guards placed Fly and Raniere into cages in a cell where 19 streaks of feces were visible on the wall, in addition to two piles on the floor, and before which they were served lunch as prison officials, including psychologists, observed them.
Raniere also went to bat for Fly, complaining that USP Tucson officials would not give Fly eyeglasses, which he needed—and deprived him of medications that caused him to act irrationally.
It is unknown what prison the BOP will assign Fly.
William Anthony ‘Toni’ Fly came into and went from Raniere’s life. FR may contact Fly to get his views on his six months in the SHU with Keith Raniere.
The BOP release date for Fly is September 8, 2025.
A word on gender: I grant you that some people may be offended that FR refers to Fly as “he” and not his preferred pronoun, “she.”
While Fly considers himself a woman, the charge that brought him to federal prison had everything to do with his conduct as a man.
Fly pleaded guilty in federal court in North Dakota to transporting a female victim across state lines for criminal sexual acts.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
[…] The conditions in the SHU are truly barbarous, with shit-stained walls, no natural light, inedible food, no access to prison recreation or programming, no fresh air, an open toilet inches away from his bed, cruel prison guards, indifferent prison administrators, and tormenting solitude. When he does get company, it is often a confused, violent, psychopathic cellmate. […]
Fly is a man. And he certainly is not intersex. We need to live in reality as much as possible. Even if some may say we are rude for pointing out the emperor is naked.
Someone made an excellent point about Mr Fly turning into a woman after the fact. Another good point in this is that Fly didn’t accuse Raniere of rape, or vice versa.
Expounding on your word on gender: Pronouns are for the person speaking, not the person being spoken about. Therefore, no one can chose their ‘own’ pronouns, as they are not their own and never can be. Pronouns are your choice as speaker not the other way around. Ignore anyone trying to dictate your speech.
you could say the same thing about a person’s name. However, most of us give people the courtesy of calling them by their preferred name or preferred version of their name, for example, Elizabeth, Liz, Betty..etc. Thomas, Tom, Tommy, Frank, Frankie etc. if someone said, please don’t refer to me as Frankie, I don’t like that, decent people would respect it.
It’s called being kind and, dare I say, respectful.
Not that I think we need to worry about being kind to Tony Fly the child rapist.
But to other folks, why not?
No, a person’s given name is different. It is a proper noun that is unique to that person and therefore, they may make preferences on its use. Pronouns are generic grammatical place-markers for use by a speaker. It is not a matter of respect or disrespect. It is merely about proper usage of language tools for clarity and efficiency. Demanding someone use ‘preferred pronouns’ destroys the use of a pronoun as an efficient language device.

WILLIAM ANTHONY FLY
Register Number: 18658-023
Age: 54
Race: White
Sex: Male
Located at: Terre Haute USP
Release Date: 09/08/2025
He raped his daughter and he’s getting out?
What determines when a prisoner gets sent to a new facility? Where is Fly going and why?
Toni Fly was safe while being locked up with Raniere. Raniere isn’t into, let’s say, Toni’s type. Word on the street was that Raniere couldn’t be a real man long before his DOS Days.
Fly was in prison for raping his daughter for years. That kind of crime doesn’t go over well in prison. It might have something to do with why Toni suddenly became a woman.
Deciding to “become a woman” (eye roll) could have saved Raniere from Fly. Who knows what taking hormone replacement does to someone’s sex drive when suddenly “switching over the other side”?
When a man has a thirst for his child, has been a rapist, and is heading to prison, that is not someone who is transgender, IMO. That is someone taking advantage of the system and hoping to go to a women’s prison. That should never be allowed.
Women prisoners have more to deal with in their own prison than sending someone like Toni Fly.
In Raniere’s civil lawsuit, Raniere and Fly were snitching for each other on their complaints.
Snitching is never a good thing to be while you’re in prison, but they buddy up on this.
Staying in the SHU seems safe for the two of them. Fly never turned Raniere in for rape, and Raniere didn’t get a beat down while in the SHU. Instead, they backed up each other stories, and it worked for them.
Raniere seems to have had plenty of contact with his criminal and civil attorneys during his time in the SHU. His civil case filings show Raniere has had plenty of contact with his attorneys.
Raniere filed a second civil lawsuit, returned to the second circuit court after losing his appeal, and filed with the Supreme Court, all from the SHU.
Raniere keeps complaining he doesn’t have enough access to his lawyers. So how has all this legal work gotten done?
Raniere is complaining and cannot do it without the help of his power of attorney, his NXIVM loyalist Suneel Chakravorty AKA Isaac Edwards. Regardless things still get done without Chakravorty.
Good comment
Raniere is an incessant complainer because he’s a narcissist. He needs attention like normal people need food or drink when they get hungry or thirsty and will seek it in any way that can satisfy the urge.
Fly deserves a lot of sympathy for being forced to share a cell with Raniere. That was indeed cruel and unusual punishment.
Thank you for calling him “he”. So sick of the bullshit of people who conveniently use sex change to manipulate the system.

I read about an old lady who went to the YMCA her whole life and was booted out because she complained about a fully grown man who called himself a woman who was NAKED groping over little girls who were dressing in the women’s locker room.
Rather than kick OUT the sick man who called himself a woman, they kicked the old lady out permanently.
I am so tired of this transgender nonsense.
There should be women, men and then transgender people.
No one should hate on transgender people. It’s cool. No problem with ADULTS NOT CHILDREN who decide to go through a change, but do not tell a woman, who has been subjected to sexism, sexual harassment and a very different physical stamina that a MAN knows what any of that feels like to be a WOMAN! A little girls/woman s struggle in life is not the same struggle as what gender confused boy or man goes through.
It just is not the same and it is not fair to throw it into the same category.
The hormones women go through alone with their cycle. A transgender man can not understand.
That doesn’t mean that transgender men can’t have empathy for biological women, and vs. vs. Of course women can feel tremendous compassion for a transgender people and feel empathy for their particular issues.
But don’t just throw everyone together. It just is not fair.
It’s not productive either. It doesn’t mean that we can’t all get along, it just means that we should not live in denial of what reality is.
It’s like a major battle of sexes no one can talk about or it’s considered politically incorrect.
Men can’t just zip up their noodle and then call themselves a woman.
No. No. No.
Women have fought very hard to get some civil rights and now men are going to just pop hormones, augment their this and that and demand that they are considered women?
I have no problem befriending a transsexual human being. I can completely accept that that’s their choice and not judge their decisions and I can genuinely relate to them as a once was one gender, but now is a new gender.
Just do not make me lie and say that person is not exactly what they are!! Don’t let men who turn into women compete in the same sport with biological women without acknowledging their obvious physical advantage.
If we don’t want to make any sort of differentiation between sexes, races, age etc, just call everyone human beings.
Stop bullying everyone by insisting that others live in an imaginary world where you can just identify as a unicorn and then -whoooooosh! Abracadabra 🦄 Youre a unicorn!
“I read about an old lady who went to the YMCA her whole life and was booted out because she complained about a fully grown man who called himself a woman who was NAKED groping over little girls who were dressing in the women’s locker room.”
HAHAHA! You actually believe that? Hey, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. You are sooooooo gullible, it is terrifying people like you exist.
An 80 year old woman was banished from a Y for the sin of transphobia. https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/woman-banned-from-ymca-for-treatment-of-trans-employee/
Surprised he was able to put up with KR sobbing like a little bitch every night…good for Fly
Toni Fly is a prison-rape waiting to happen.
This is torture of Raniere by depriving him of human companionship! This could happen to anyone so it affects us all. This is a basic human rights issue.
The Supreme Court must hear Keith’s case or it will lose all legitimacy.
Omg shut up! KR is being treated like a prisoner because you know..he is in prison….where he belongs.
And you’re a prison guard?
So Fly goes from the Shu directly to transport? Is Raniere still in the Shu now solo?
It is not known if Raniere is alone or whether the prison provided him with a new cell mate. We shall endeavor to find out.
Is it a forgone conclusion that they’re never letting Raniere out of the Shu?
“Much ado about nothing”, Tom thought anticlimactically.
So another one one of Raniere’s accusations turned out to be pure bullshit. There never was any rape allegation against Raniere after all.
In fact, the cellmate he loathed and complained about so much has been transferred out. I wonder if Raniere will say thank you?
I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The prisoner who punched him in the head got transferred out of Tucson too. Any word of gratitude from Raniere? No, I didn’t think so.
I notice also that although he was screeching and hollering about some supposed plan to transfer him to a limited communications unit, Raniere hasn’t been moved. That was over a month ago. Looks like that claim was bullshit too. Can’t say I’m surprised.
Soon, Raniere will run out of things to complain about. Oh what am I saying, of course he won’t! Back when he was philosopher king of Flintlock Lane, getting laid regular and having his shirts appear as if by magic, all he did was complain. My harem girls are too fat, my underage girlfriend doesn’t praise my dick enough, etc. etc.
What Keith Raniere needs is a big, steaming mug of STFU.
We’ll never get anywhere if you continue to hold your feelings in like that.
Mr Sausage, isn’t it psychologically interesting to study a man who literally had it all and lost it due to lying 🤥. If I had one of Ranieres beautiful slaves, like Nikki I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else.
Ehhhh, Squeaky is ok.
I like Roberts, she is way hotter and sexier. Squeaky is too skinny.
Meh. There are plenty of better looking women out there who were never “famous”.
Roberts or Chung, imho.
I guarantee Michelle is incredible in the sack. I love the sporty body and even the short hair is sexy on her. I’d like to test drive them all tbh, but I’d take just one if I had the opportunity.

I have asked multiple times where Dick or Richard got his information that Reniere was being transferred and if he thought that he could be being played by Reniere and all the times I was met by silence so I am assuming whoever received this information got this from Reniere who spouts BS time and time again. More cult leader propaganda.
Yeah, every time Raniere has a beef or a complaint against “the system” it gets a big write up here and furious discussion. As if Raniere can be trusted as a source. As if his bullshit proves anything.
Raniere claims he’s innocent just like every other criminal who got caught. He doesn’t like prison and thinks he doesn’t belong there, so what?
People need to stop believing Raniere’s claims. They’ve all turned out bullshit. The man’s a professional liar.
I guess it’s his hail Mary desperation, he will say anything knowing Richard will publish it as fact. Got to hand it to Reniere for still being able to suck people in. He finds the weak spot and exploits. In this case hatred for the justice system.
Who is Raniere s new bunkie ?
Alex Murdaugh?
