This post is our next in the series on Ares Milligan, AKA Ayries Blanck.
A former employee of OneTaste, Blanck’s stories are one of the main causes of the media depiction of the company that prompted an FBI investigation.
Blanck described herself as a victim of what the FBI hoped was a forced labor and possibly sex trafficking case.
The FBI tried hard but could not find evidence of forced labor, sex trafficking, or any substantive crime that the company, any of its owners or executives, or anyone else did to Ayries or anyone else.
The absence of a substantive crime led the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY to file an indictment charging OneTaste co-founder Nicole Daedone and her sales manager Rachel Cherwitz with a single count of forced labor conspiracy.
A Conspiracy Without Forced Labor
According to the indictment, the two women began conspiring in 2006, about a year before they met. After meeting, they continued to conspire to try to force people to labor for a decade, while Daedone owned the company and Cherwitz worked for the company.
Daedone sold the company in 2017, but the US Attorney – just as he added a year at the beginning of the conspiracy that predated the two women meeting – usually making it hard for people to conspire – added a year after Daedone sold the company and presumably unable to force anyone to labor for a company she did not own or control.
Adding a year to the forced labor conspiracy after Daedone sold the company was more important than adding a year at the beginning.
Statute of Limitations: A Crucial Twist
Without extending the conspiracy by a year after Daedone sold the company, the US EDNY would not have been able to charge the two women with anything because the forced labor conspiracy charge has a five-year statute of limitations.
Happily for the DOJ, Cherwitz stayed on as an employee of OneTaste until May 2018. Though Daedone was no longer an owner of the company, allegedly Cherwitz conspired with herself for another year to force someone to labor.
The charges as they stand – the only standalone forced labor conspiracy charged in American history – present an intriguing plot of failure: Two women began conspiring a year before they met, then began conspiring once they met, and continued for another year with Cherwitz conspiring alone.
The last year was highly obliging of Cherwitz since had she not done a one-woman conspiracy, the US Attorney would not have been able to charge them.
Why? Because the statute of limitations would have run out.
It must be rather embarrassing to try for years to force any of the 35,000 people who attended a OneTaste event, the 16,000 people who participated in a class, or any of the 150 employees to do a lick of forced labor – and fail.
A Peculiar Indictment
The two women, by the facts of the indictment, had given up trying five years before the indictment. If the indictment is accurate and not just an attempt by the DOJ to salvage a case after five long years of trying to find a crime to pin on Daedone, they brought the forced labor conspiracy charge.
Every other forced labor conspiracy charge in US legal history came with allegations of actual forced labor or sex trafficking.
No one else was ever charged with conspiring to force labor and failing.
But I ask the reader not to be too hasty in their judgment.
It is far too easy to think that the FBI got hot on the case from Ayries Blanck. When they found her an easily impeachable liar, they had to justify the years lost in this investigation and charge Daedone and Cherwitz in time not to lose the statute of limitations and walk away empty handed.
A Trial Awaits
A jury will have to decide whether the US EDNY had a five-year conspiracy with Ayries Blanck to indict Daedone and Cherwitz on something, anything, and failed to find an actual crime. The DOJ, whose conviction stats are the measure of their success, got stuck with the feeble story that Daedone and Cherwitz had a 12-year conspiracy to force Ayries or anyone to labor, then gave up trying precisely four years, eleven months and 29 days (one day short of the statute of limitations).
Happily, the EDNY moved just in time to indict them and ruin their lives.
Someone here is a massive failure: the government or the defendants.
Ayries Blanck’s role in this case will be front and center at the trial. While it is clear that the US Attorney will not call Ayries, the defense likely will.
There, her testimony might save the day for the government. On the witness stand, Ayries’s many lies to the FBI will come out, and the US Attorney can save face by charging Blanck with lying to the FBI, a federal crime, and salvage a conviction stat even though they lose the case against Daedone and Cherwitz.
The two women will also save face when the jury acquits. Imagine how foolish it must seem that two savvy businesswomen tried to force thousands of people to labor for 12 years and failed. That kind of stupidity and failure looks terrible on a resume.
Sure, I know the adage that “if, at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again,” but this is ridiculous.
Almost as ridiculous as the FBI trying to find a crime and bringing charges anyway on the backs of the taxpayers.
Conviction stats are not how any justice department should run, especially when they cannot tell a liar from a real victim, and in the process make victims of the people they charge and taxpayers too.
Stay tuned for our next post on the source of this improper prosecution – Ares Milligan AKA Ayries Blanck. And in an upcoming post, we will show how Rob Kandell, co-founder and former half owner of OneTaste, worked closely with Ayries Blanck AKA Ares Milligan to create a dubious and highly impeachable narrative about OneTaste that may very well land Blanck (and possibly Kandell) in an ocean of hot water.

What does one taste stand for ? Is that sexual terminology?
Good question. I’ve never understood the name. They made guys pay to stroke chick’s clits and made chick pay to get stroked. They didn’t teach oral sex. I guess you had to be Operating Clit Stroker (OCS) VIII to learn the secret meaning of the name. Just like Scientology and NXIVM.
It comes from a Buddhist saying that the ocean has one taste
Always a guy behind the scenes.
Sounds very familiar
Wizard of Oz was MK ultra mind control. Behind the curtain ( scenes )
The justice department shows success rate through conviction? That’s frightening. Everything about this case seems to credence to the idea that it’s tge doj that should be charged with conspiracy, not these two women.
Question:
Are Nicole Daedone and
Rachel Cherwitz being officially being prosecuted under RICO?
Wow. The exposure of these details tells an entirely new story. Thank you for revealing the truth of this story layer by layer.
It’s fascinating
How many years did you take classes, Josh?
How many chick’s clits did you rub?
Have you been able to touch a woman without having to pay for it since then?
Picture this: OneTaste invites all the other traffickers to ONE big circle jerk!
Epstein, Maxwell, Bronfman, Diddy, and J.Lo all having a freak-out together in one of Hugh Hefner’s underground tunnels, perfecting the art of distraction. In comes CIA spy Ben Affleck, he takes off his mask and we see one shrivled up KEITH RANIERE with his VOLLEYBALL!! He throws it to Jamie Foxx, it misses, lands on his friends over at the FBI. The ball bawfs Jada and Will Smith on the head. Will passes the ball to his kids, bartering them, Go kids go! Smile, we gonna sexually exploit you, traffick you through the “Biz”
In the end, Daedone and Cherwitz could just be collateral damage in the government’s overblown chase, while the true puppet masters keep their secrets hidden behind rolls of the truly wicked. Deflection at its finest, folks.
they were worse
look up orgasm inc on netflix. nicole daedone was teaching classes about how it’s OK to molest children because her dad died in prison for doing it.
these people are as bad as bad gets.
Netfliz is a completely discreditable operation and their documentary is completely deceptive.
Everyone is talking about Jlo and Ben Affleck’s relationship. It is a deversion from Jlo’s involement with P.Diddy. Her doc about their relationship and her AI movie came out right when PDiddy was raided by the FEDS for human/child sex trafficking. She was implicated in the trafficking lawsuit. So was Universal music’s head honcho, Lucien G. He worked with Ed Bronfman. Jlo was with PDiddy on and off for 4 years. The feds had been working with P.Diddy, the FBI and CIA and law enforcement in LA, NY, and Miami. They were in his pocket. Jlo ( and they) financed documetary after tv show, movie touching on what she was involved with, but they cleverly altered every single show to deflect us from the severity of her involvement. They put what was really happening in everyones face, but they tweaked it, glossed over the horrors of what was really happening, minimizing her involvement with the Epstein fashion and AI tech industry in Miami and NY.
Deflection is the name of the game.
Lopez father AI techie venture capitalist . Scientologist. David Lopez. Known for being intensely private. Scientologist video record their members. Collateral just like Epstein’s recording and all the techie guys are talking to each other. Jennifer Lopez has major involvement with fashion industry . She was heavily involved in the South beach modeling world when Epstein ran his modeling agency in Miami.
The models were being trafficked from Florida to the billionaire island. Both Brunel and Epstein owned model agencies that were trafficking children. They Trafficked a lot more than humans too.
One Taste is connected on higher levels to same associates. That part will never be revealed, nor will Epstein’s and PDiddys real crimes. Nxvium is the only trafficking enterprise that has been exposed thoroughly.
Of course there’s a conspiracy this is a sex cult like NXIVM. These people deserve what they get. Any woman who has to pay to learn how to masturbate is a complete idiot. A vibrator is cheaper than this stupid newage crap. Any man who has to pay to give a woman a handjob is a total loser.
Originally Nxvium was not so vile. The charectors in Nxvium tricked themseleves and others into believing they were authenitc, revolutionay missionaries, who were going to change the planet and make it whole again.
Then it sucked. The nebish leader, Keith R., he was actually plain, forgetteble,
He must have seemed inoccuous, disturbed yet powerful to some.. To me he just seems like a little pest..
Question to survivors? What would you like to see your come back be? I thik its a different time back then.
People dont want to know the ins and outs, of what your childhood were like, what made you loose yourself in this?
Exactly
So true.
What’s cool about this is that Ayries will be found out publicly as a liar and an abusive person and hopefully charged with perjury
Nicole and Rachel will have the charges dismissed and all of the attention from this case will have brought their work to more people, I mean it really already has.
So it’s funny, because Ayries thought she could get away with lying but she won’t and her actions will actually do the opposite of what she wanted
Seems to me like OT via Frank is trying to “fair game” Ayries.
This is exactly what is happening.
That’s a great point with the statute of limitations. I would think first and foremost the Fed would need to present some kind of evidence of someone, or anyone, that was either being impacted by this alleged conspiracy, or a witness to it, that can testify it was happening in 2018. Who knows, maybe the duo realized they weren’t cut out for this whole conspiracy plan thing years before 2018 and gave up trying. The sale date doesn’t even seem relevant to when they finished conspiring. There must be some evidence of it ending.
Maybe all of the would-be forced laborer’s left before they were actually forced to stay (wait, but then it wasn’t forced, hmmm) but if it WAS happening, then certainly there would still be at least one ex non-forced disgruntled laborer that could testify they saw it and know when it ended. If not an ex laborer themselves, maybe one of their cousins, or an in-law, that heard them complaining about their ex employer, and they could testify.
And a question Frank, did the other forced labor cases entail the government shutting down the forced labor while it was happening? Did the fed go in and stop the crime in action, based on evidence they collected before they stopped it? In this case the FBI makes it sound to the public like they raided the “compound” and busted this forced labor operation open, freeing all of the victims. But then where are those shackled laborers they freed? In all of the other cases, did they actually stop the forced labor while it was going on? In this case they are not even claiming they stopped it.
Wow! 1 day within the statue of limitations? And as one dependent was conspiring on her own?! <facepalm>
Thank you for your continued reporting on this Frank. As someone who took many classes at OneTaste and previously worked there, I have been so baffled by the charges. The FBI even came and spoke to me once. Although it was a wild ride of a time and a fast paced company with many changes and a radical subject matter – none of my experiences matched what the charges were. It’s been a surreal experience and no reporter ever wanted to hear my perspective. Even when I tried to talk to reporters they would spin what I said and make my remarks controversial or inflamed based on their story. It’s really refreshing to see someone dive into this case.
do you have a tattoo on your forehead that says that you’re brain dead?
asking because I’d like to know how onetaste picks people like you out of a crowd
it is exciting because it always sounded like yet another rich hippys new age trend. The women rubbed out by the men until orgasm. Ok, its kind immature, like somethiing 9th graders would do not knowing how yanky it is. Just fuck each other already! Dont charge for it, or sell it. Just do it. Get out of the box already. You dont have to go to some voyeurs to watch you , encourage you. Just do it, like it, trip, get back up and live a little. The sexual acts you are or arent making isnt whats shocking,its the fact you PAY money to do this. Its so ackward and like sometihing wed see at a carnival. Ask your self why you want so much attention. Esp for this,
The chicks should be charging the organizers to watch them get rubbed out , not the other way around. Women getting paid for sex are degenerates but if they pay the “man” to exploit their sexuality they think somehow they are pure? They’re just dumb. If you are going to fuck for strangers, at least get paid for it ladies! Not the other way around!
Right?!
Ayries isn’t a beauty queen, but she could make good money as an escort.
But what do you expect from a chick named “Ayries”?
FBI are part of problem
When things in your organization seem normal but outsiders are concerned, that can make you turn inward.
Would you be willing to try and see things from their perspective? You might learn something.
It took me a long time and lots of thinking outside the way I was raised to think that enabled me to leave the group I was raised in.
