Raniere’s Final Play: Can His IQ (and Bronfman Cash) Save Him from 120 Years in Tucson?

September 25, 2024
Clare Bronfman with the man she partnered with, Keith Raniere

Deborah Blum represents Keith Alan Raniere in his latest motion to vacate his 2019 conviction.

It may be his last motion to end his incarceration.

Last month Blum filed a letter with Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis asking him to grant her a third extension to file an amended 2255 motion demanding Judge Garuafis admit he did wrong and let that prince of men go free at once.

In 2020, Judge Nicholas Garaufis sentenced Raniere to 120 years in prison plus five years of probation (probation begins in 2120 at the age of 159). Since then, Raniere has tried his best to prove the judge (and the jury were wrong).

Raniere not only lost the trial, he also lost several Rule 33 motions for a new trial and lost his appeal at the Second Circuit. The US Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal.

Raniere, who has informed followers that he is among the top three problem solvers in the world, with an IQ that surpasses Albert Einstien, is down to what looks like a last ditch attempt.

Raniere considered himself a little smarter than Einstien, a bit more moral than Gandhi and a greater athlete than Jim Thorpe.

Keith Raniere has the athleticism of Jim Thorpe above he loved to admit
In his bio Raniere boasted of many accomplishments
Mahatma Gandhi is compared to Keith Raniere by Nxivm members
Gandhi could learn a lot from this man

He has a 2255 motion, which argues the judge erred in handling his case and the sentencing.

Judge Garaufis sentenced the Vanguard to 120 years

Raniere relocated to Tucson, Arizona in January 2021.  He wants to move out of his gated community and break his 120 year lease.

Clare Bronfman 

Clare Bronfman has paid tens of millions to more than a dozen attorneys to help Raniere get out of USP Tucson.

In some respects, it seems unfair for Bronfman to shoulder the entire burden.

Frank Report is considering starting a GoFundMe account – “Help Keith Break His Lease”. Please leave a comment and let us know how much you care to contribute.

I’ve put Nice Guy, Nut Job, Ice Nine, Bangkok and Pilgrim down for a generous contribution. Please no donations less than $5.

Though Raniere’s lease appears ironclad, attorney Blum is a go-getter and is working diligently. She informed Judge Garaufis, that she is working full time for Raniere (on Bronfman’s dime).

Apropos of this valiant – fully funded effort, Blum asked the judge for a little more time to perfect Raniere’s 2255 to show the judge how wrong he was. This is her third request.

But she has a good reason.

She met with Raniere, and the genius has a new plan to make his motion fool proof.

Blum wrotee:

Your Honor…. I am requesting a final extension of time… to October 7th, 2024….

I have dedicated the work-week and weekends to working on the 2255 and still have a ways to go to get it fully drafted and ready to file….

“Since being engaged by Mr. Raniere, I have shifted my primary focus to his work…”

She joins a long list of attorneys who have so shifted on the Bronfman dime.

Meets With the Great One

The good news is Blum flew to Tucson to meet Vanguard (the name Raniere is known by his followers).

She had two remarkable meetings for three hours each last month.

Blum told the judge

On August 19th and 20th, I met with Mr. Raniere for the first time, and spent six (6) hours with Mr. Raniere at USP Tucson in Arizona. During the visits, Mr. Raniere and I addressed his preferred strategy, which changes the course of the submission, and items that now need to be researched and incorporated into the draft. Further, it became clear to me that I would need to have an additional visit with him prior to being able to submit the 2255. An in-person visit is the most effective way for me to communicate with Mr. Raniere. It is unrealistic that the visit could occur within the next two (2) weeks given the staffing constraints at his facility.

MK10Art’s painting of Deborah Blum shows she is waving the flag for her Vanguard.

I’m taking bets that Blum will need more extension because
1. One of her staff members spilled coffee on her laptop and her work was not backed up to the cloud
2. Her dog eat her external heard drive where her only copy of her work was stored.
3. Raniere red lined the entire body of her work because only the great one can understand his word salad way of how he want his 2255 to be written and filed with the court.
4. Raniere is going for Guinness World Book of Records for the prisoner given the most extension in motions.
5. Blum will need many more trips to Tucson because Raniere can only do so much brainwashing in a three hour session. He wants her to be the next member of DOS. They need a good lawyer.

Thanks Frank. I think I got five bucks lying around somewhere.

But I don’t think you need to worry about Bangkok donating any money. An act of kindness like that is only for socialist commie bastards. And he can’t afford it anyway.

It’s pretty simple if this Blum lady wants to get keith out, all she has to do is show the judge https://makejusticeblind.com/ . That really nails it for me. I signed Nice guy up for the recent updates about their initiatives. you’re welcome nice guy.

And so where are Suneel and Eduardo these days? they seem to have disappeared.

and for kicks I checked in on DOS. The dos girls though are still at, unbelievable. there’s no hope for them. as recent as June they are STILL talking about the same shit lol.

Hopefully Judge G does denies the request for additional time making it super simple to deny the whole thing . It’s funny that these clowns continue to think Bronfmsn money and Remiere mind entitle them to special consideration. You missed the deadline. Case closed.

Keith would disagree on who is the greatest athlete in the world. Guess which greatest athlete in the world Keith would name?

Deborah Blum needs to take an Intensive then get on the DOS plan: 400 calories per day and running 12 miles each morning. She is too FAT for Kieth! Once she is at 106 pounds, she will be ready to see the blue light.

After she sees the blue light, I will brand “KAR” into her pelvic region, as a tribute to Kieth.

I LOVE VANGUARD!!!

If Keith does not get acquitted, that proves that Mrs. Blum has disintegrations, and those will be responsible for Keith’s motion being denied. In this case, Keith should cite Mrs. Blum’s disintegrations as grounds for appeal to get a new trial. Because that can only be the only reason if his valid motion is denied because of Mrs. Blum’s problems.

I think Nice guy, along with his own generous donation, would be happy to donate a generous amount in my name because he is so nice and all! I feel very much grateful to Reniere for the endless entertainment he provided over the years

It must be a moment of joy for Keith to be in a room again with a young women with perfume on her wrists for no less then 6 hours over two days. Oh, how he longed for this moment!
A sparkle of hope igniting in his brain of being free again. Alas, there will be a rude awakening when his dream of freedom shatters (again).

Still, a 120 year prison sentence makes no sense (because it’s more then a life sentence) and it’s excessive. He’s no serial killer with body parts in the freezer.

It is completely irrelevant whether Keith serves the 120 years in prison or not. The sentence sends a clear message: Raniere is responsible for his crimes. They were committed by him, and he’s accountable. The sentence and the number of proven crimes he committed are appropriate. The sentence illustrates the level of criminality that can be set in relation to other sentences imposed on others. But one thing should be clear: Every criminal case is different, and every sentence is individual. It is pointless to compare Raniere’s case with other cases.

I see your reasoning. But it’s unavoidable to compare crimes and corresponding sentences.

I don’t know anything about a motion 2255 but Raniere’s sentence was unjust. Some murderers get out in less than 20 years and Raniere murdered no one. Garaufis sentence was overly punitive and perhaps vindictive.

Of course, Raniere could have helped his case by being accountable and contrite for the damage he did to others. Perhaps, the judge would have mitigated his sentence if he had admitted wrongdoing honestly and sincerely? Unfortunately, he seems incapable of taking responsability and contrition. Even so, I see no reason to keep him in prison beyond 20 years. Raniere was a liar, a cheat and a sexual abuser. However, society should not further stain itself by keeping him in prison forever.

No motion will ever be granted even if it’s credible and valid. Just more Bronfman money wasted.

In several years you’ll be writing a piece just like this one except it’ll be about Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz.

So you couldn’t raise five dollars. That’s what happens when you’re too cheap. I just don’t know if it’s worth spending $5 to be on a donor list. Others give anonymously and don’t want to be named. Are you vain enough to want your name on a list? I wouldn’t give a dime to Raniere.

Not entirely familiar with federal procedure, but is Attorney Blum permitted to request oral argument on the 2255 motion with her client present?

If so, for a very brief moment in time, that could create the potential for Vanguard, Sam Bankman-Fried, Sean Combs and Hizzoner Eric Adams to be cellmates at MDC.
