US District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis has denied Clare Bronfman’s motion to reduce her sentence, and she will remain in the custody of the US Bureau of Prisons until June 29, 2025.
Bronfman, through her attorneys, argued that she met the requirements for Amendment 821 to the US Sentencing Guidelines, which would, if she qualified and the judge agreed, reduce her sentence by 18 months, which would have meant she’d be released at once.
But no such luck.
The US Attorney objected to Bronfman’s eligibility, arguing that she did not qualify for a reduction under 821, which requires that a defendant “did not personally cause substantial financial hardship.”
The vengeful NXIVM director of operations main role in NXIVM was to destroy the financial health and whenever possible the freedom of hers and Raniere’s targets by suing them or filing bogus criminal complaints. She was not averse to perjury, believing she would never get caught.
She did get caught and she lives in the maximum security Philadephia Detention Center. This writer had a hand in her conviction and subsequent incarceration, following her perjurious but unsuccessful efforts to put him in prison.
As for her recent bid to be let to walk among decent human beings, Judge Nicholas Garaufis was not to be fooled.
He had her number since at least September 2020. when he sentenced the malevolent funder of more than 40 lawsuits on behalf of the most ethical man in the world, Raniere.
Judge Garaufis wrote :
“When sentencing Ms. Bronfman, this court found that the defendant made ‘promises to immigrants that she did not keep, exacted labor that she did not pay for, and took advantage of these individuals’ financial straits and immigration statuses, in a manner that exacerbated both their financial and emotional vulnerabilities and made them more reliant on her and the Nxivm community, sometimes with very harmful consequences.’”
As a sign that this judge was not letting the rancorous plotter of Raniere’s spite get away with anything, Judge Garaufis ordered Bronfman handcuffed and shackled in his courtroom, denying her a consideration he often grants white collar defendants – to leave his courtroom after sentencing and go home and settle her affairs, and then report to prison at a given date, a privilege he granted to two of her codefendants, Allison Mack and Nancy Salzman.
But Judge Garaufis knew Raniere might have induced this one to flee the US – and her crimes were much worse than Salzman or Mack.
He wrote, “In sentencing Ms. Bronfman… (the) use of her wealth and social status as a means to control, intimidate and punish her co-defendant’s adversaries, “ justified the “need for the sentence to reflect the seriousness of the offense…”
Judge Garaufis sentenced the malevolent, strabismus-stricken brute to triple the sentencing guidelines, a sentence of 81 months.
Sentencing Guidelines Much Lower
Based on her hastily made plea bargain, made by an attorney who faced possible indictment in the same court, she pleaded guilty to harboring an illegal alien for financial gain and conspiring with her fool, Raniere, to use his dead girlfriend, Pam Cafritz’s credit card, so that the princely one could avoid income taxes. For these crimes, the court calculated that the sentencing guidelines were from 21-27 months.
More than 100 people wrote victim impact statements to the court, describing the terror and pain they experienced at her hands.
Judge Garaufis said, “the crimes of conviction, standing alone, do not fully encompass the larger pattern of misdeeds perpetrated by Ms. Bronfman.”
At the sentencing, the judge delivered the unforgiving Bronfman a taste of her own prescription: “a prison sentence of 81 months, which is three times the high end of the Guidelines range, and which takes into account the severity of Ms. Bronfman’s illegal behavior… ”
She and Her Leader Properly Placed
For years, she terrorized everyone using her wealth, inherited, not earned, and largely squandered. Her master is in prison with a 120-year sentence. She is lucky that she got only 81 months, for if all the true crimes she committed were known, and all her victims lined up one by one, and true justice done, she would be in prison for life.
Judge Garaufis said in his denial of Bronfman’s motion to get out of jail that “the court finds that a reduction in sentence is not warranted and that a sentence of 81 months of imprisonment remains sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes of sentencing.”
Cleaner of Toilets Now
Meanwhile, she remains in Philadelphia, assigned to clean the toilets and wipe the floors in the administration area of the center at 12 cents per hour. It is justice. She made people work for her under pain, toil, and fear. Took their life savings away. Paid them pittances.
And for now, thanks to Judge Garaufis, the woman known to some as Legatus will not go home tomorrow to her Manhattan high rise apartment, but continue to clean toilets, sweep floors and act as a model prisoner, while she continues to act as the buffoon for Keith Raniere, who even from prison continues to drain her wealth on nonsensical motions for a new trial.
Ah what a laugh it is, what bragging rights they have, those who administer the lives of and the services to the detainees in Philadelphia.
“The daughter of one of the once richest men in the world who went to prison for her role in a crazy cult, cleans our toilets, scrubs our floors, and takes out our garbage.”

While in prison Clare is going to come in contact with women who’ve been sex trafficked.
They will explain how the most loyal girl works closest with the pimp to keep the other girls in line. She will see the similarities between the methods of KR controlling the “sorority” and a pimp running a stable and maybe…. just maybe she’ll see the inner truth of KR.
Clare will never see the inner truth of Kieth because she does not want to.
Clare and Sara were massive disappointments to Edgar Sr. See, Edgar wanted smart, sophisticated, business savvy children. Children who would be intelligent, educated and able to run the family business. Instead, he was stuck with two, groveling, idiotic simpletons: Clare and Sara. His other kids are not much brighter.
Kieth exploited this family rift and brainwashed Clare with NLP, into believing her family was evil and that she needed to clean her money through him.
Sara eventually figured out she was being used for her money, after she found love. Clare is incapable of loving another human. She only cares about her horses, and about the filthy rascal, Kieth Raniere.
Clare is a demon. I just watched “Exorcist: The Believer”. Clare reminds me of the little girls who are possessed by Satan.
I’m happy for Clare. I hope her experience has served her well. It’s good to see some justice in this broken world. I hope the experience has been meaningful to her. I hope she has learned something of real value. I hope she apologizes to Frank someday. If not by deed, (in case she’s not allowed), then at least by heart.
I wouldn’t wish her life experience on my enemy. But good news? God loves broken things. I hope she can be healed and find peace.
PS. I won’t recind these words if she goes back to Keith but I will be very disappointed if she returns to him. I really hope that won’t happen. He used her to hurt other people. And here might be the wildest thing I’ve ever said on FR, but? I hope Clare might one day know Jesus. This might be hard coming from a Jewish perspective. He was crucified by his own people. They didn’t understand his peaceful ways, or the metaphysical things that happened on the cross. But? He’s the true prince of peace. Not keith raniere.
Oops. I forgot to mention that I hope she gives Frank that million dollars she cheated him out of. Even half would do.
I bet Frank would put the money to good use.
The young man who was wiping Ms. Bronfman’s buttocks may consider switching careers. There is honor is wiping peoples asses.

Suneel created his own version of the Advent Calendar. It is called the “Asswipe Calendar”. He has it going up to the day of Clare’s release. Each day he opens the little door and pulls out a piece of toilet paper to wipe Clare’s ass with.
Frank, did Suneel submit another letter with this latest motion about wiping Clare’s ass?
Gee she’s the prettiest thing I ever saw. Nice eyes. I wish she was loyal to me.
I know she’s committed to Mr. Raniere
But he is not going to get out of prison and she will.
I also know that she had another guy on the side who wrote a letter to the judge for her about how graceful and classy she was when he had to handle the paperwork when he took her to the toilet duty. (Like hadn’t they ever heard of a bidet?) and not to be cute but he did a half ass job compared to what I could do.
I feel about her like Nice Guy does for Mrs s. Johnson or Nut job for Nancy or Pilgrim for Keith’s sister. Or Snorlax for Toni Natalie.
Mr. Palata put in a word for me.
Best just Shake It Off.
Tyler, wipe that frown off your face! Crack a smile and don’t feel crappy over this. The smell of spring is in the air. I see new friends and opportunities opening for you.
BTW, Dr. Danielle is my crush. Kieth’s sister is not psychotic enough. Danielle on the other hand…
Grace Park here. I’m thinking she saw this coming and didn’t get close.
Grace. Kristin Kreuk as well.
Hmmm…maybe “Stand By Your Man” wasn’t such a hot idea after all.
Using ‘wealth and social status as a means to control, intimidate and punish’ never happens.
Funny, not funny
The BOP sent Clare Bronfman victims notices saying
“This notice is to inform you that CLARE BRONFMAN has been approved for placement in a Community Corrections Center (CCC), otherwise known as a halfway house, and will transfer from this institution (Philly) on May 2, 2024.
After the transfer, the inmate will be located at Bronx Community Correctional Center in Bronx, New York”
Looks as if Clare has made her way out of prison, just like Nancy Salzman did and will be spending some of her time at a CCC where she will have more freedom.
She is supposed to stay there until the end of her sentence or she can talk them into sending her to home confinement.
Happy birthday

I thought it was Latin for “Crotch stench from Hell.”
Oh how the turntables have turned. Good horse face. Clean those toilets.
Clare’s brain is the size of a chestnut.
