Ayries Blanck, the key accuser in the federal case against OneTaste, has now been exposed as a fraud, a liar, and a criminal.
The DOJ has admitted that Blanck fabricated her journals, lied to the FBI, and deceived prosecutors—falsehoods that directly led to the indictment of OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone and sales manager Rachel Cherwitz.
The government now claims it will not call Blanck as a witness. But the bigger question remains: Why isn’t she being prosecuted?
Blanck’s actions aren’t just unethical—they are serious federal crimes.
- Lying to the FBI (18 U.S.C. § 1001)
Blanck repeatedly lied to federal agents, claiming her journals were authentic. Penalty: Up to 5 years per false statement. -
Perjury (18 U.S.C. § 1621)
She committed perjury if she swore under oath that the journals were real. Penalty: Up to 5 years per count. -
Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512)
By fabricating evidence and interfering with a criminal case, Blanck obstructed justice. Penalty: Up to 20 years in prison. -
Fraud & Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1349)
Blanck and her sister sold the fake journals to Netflix for $25,000—an explicitly fraudulent transaction. Penalty: Up to 20 years per count. -
Conspiracy to Defraud the US Government (18 U.S.C. § 371)
This is a criminal conspiracy if Blanck worked with others—her sister, Netflix producers, or attorneys—to push false claims. Penalty: Up to 5 years. -
Witness Tampering (18 U.S.C. § 1512)
She committed witness tampering if she encouraged others to lie or cover up her fraud. Penalty: Up to 20 years. -
Destruction of Evidence (18 U.S.C. § 1519)
The FBI says emails are missing. Who deleted them? Penalty: Up to 20 years.
The Real Question: Why Hasn’t Blanck Been Charged?
Blanck’s lies cost taxpayers millions, wasted judicial resources, and nearly sent two innocent women to prison.
The DOJ built its case on her fabricated testimony. They had every chance to investigate her fraud but ignored the evidence—until Frank Report exposed the truth.
Now, the DOJ has two choices:
Charge Blanck for her crimes, including perjury and fraud.
Ignore the crimes—proving that a craven, lying, vengeful, hateful creature can pervert justice and create insane injustice can get away with it just because she fooled the prosecutors and possibly seduced an FBI Special Agent and his female pal Special Agent Colleen Sheehan into cooperating in the deception.
Blanck’s false allegations led to a federal indictment. The government must now decide: Will she be held accountable, or will they let her walk free?
My sources tell me that Washington, DC, is looking at this case closely at the highest levels at Main Justice and the FBI. Acting US Attorney John Durham is well aware of President Donald Trump’s directive to stop using the DOJ as a weapon and make it live up to its name.
Durham known for his integrity – unlike some other DOJ prosecutors – was elevated over others. He is the man of the hour, and perforce must dismiss the case against OneTaste defendants and convene a grand jury to investigate who should be charged: Ayries Blanck, most certainly. Her sister Autumn is a good possibility. Netflix producer Sarah Gibson – a possibility.
And that inestimable traveling and cooing pair, FBI Special Agents Elliot McGinnis and Colleen Sheehan?
Why should they be spared?
The evidence against them – not only with Ayries but others – will be the subject of an upcoming expose.
Editor’s note: It was controversial no doubt, to photoshop Ayries’ face in what is actually her modus operandi, but I did it because I had to call her on her on her BS. As she was lying to the FBI, telling the government that her journals were authentic, she no doubt complained about this most truthful of all pictures to ever represent the sum total of Ayries Blanck’s life. I call it Bovine Blanck.
For my part, I make no apologies. For it may be cruel to depict Ayries in a cruel and humiliating photoshopped picture, but I submit it is nowhere near as cruel as the woman who undertook a years-long vendetta because she lost her wealthy boyfriend, Ravi and her lover, Hamza while at OneTaste because they, like so many others, saw through her lies. Too bad the FBI didn’t have the same clear-sighted vision.

Alright, listen up, you goddamn sheep! This ain’t no joke, this is some serious goddamn shit we’re talkin’ about. You got Uncle Don’s yo-yo, right? Just sittin’ there, innocent-like, on his goddamn dodo. Yeah, a dodo bird! Extinct, for Christ’s sake! That’s your first clue this ain’t your grandma’s bedtime story. Then you got the Shitty Kitty Committee, these little furry agents of chaos, probably plottin’ the downfall of Western civilization right there on that prehistoric bird.
And then, Uncle Dong, this poor bastard, perched on the goddamn yo-yo string like he’s contemplating his miserable existence, when BAM! That insidious earworm, “Funky Town,” starts oozing out of some unseen speaker. It’s a goddamn mind virus, I tell ya! And Harvey Wallbanger, this poor, lost soul, stumblin’ around the dodo like he’s searchin’ for his goddamn sanity. But the real kicker, the real “holy shit” moment? Some bimbo, lookin’ like she just escaped from a reality TV show, is crawling out of the yo-yo! Out of the goddamn yo-yo on the goddamn dodo! This ain’t entertainment, folks, this is a goddamn sign! A sign that the universe has finally lost its goddamn mind! You think this is funny? You think this is just some silly story? Wake the fuck up! This is the goddamn truth, twisted and vomited back at us! Pay attention, you goddamn morons! This. Is. Serious. Shit.
The DOJ has no choice now but to prosecute Blank. They know more and more will come out about her, which could jeopardize the credibility of all their other witnesses and implicate them in even more crimes. If they don’t prosecute her, they look complicit, and their credibility going forward could easily be used by the defense, or a federal investigation, against them. If they bring charges against her, it gives them a platform to argue their case, that they were not at fault, that their credibility was not tarnished. They would want to bring out charges against her, even if they don’t prosecute, because it’s the only way to protect themselves against further fall out as the Blank/Gibson lies keep rolling out.
If they don’t indict Blank and Gibson, then those two will definitely be at the front of the line to bring charges against the DOJ. At this point, that’s the only lie Blank and Gibson have left, is to blame it all on the DOJ. And they will, because they can claim they have all the inside info on how it all went down. If they bring accusations against the DOJ first, the DOJ could really be exposed. Whichever side files first will have the upper hand, but for sure, charges are coming. The best approach by the DOJ is to indict them, and then let the Blank/Gibson attacks look like what they really are, retaliation.
It’s critical that she is charged. Thanks for laying all this out for us Frank. There’s an opportunity for Kash to make a name for himself for calling out specific bad actors.
It’s almost certainly criminal malfeasance on behalf of the FBI & Fed— even if that will be harder to prove. Career prosecutors are (maybe) better at keeping themselves out of implication. The prosecution is a runaway train that was given much more leniency to operate than “good faith”, it was quite a flagrant reimagining of legal terms to get even half as far as it did. The fact that her “evidence” was the best they had to work with says all you need to know in the first place.
Many crimes were committed and will they be prosecuted?
She’ll never be charged. She was a victim of the government. They exploited her to bring down One Taste.
She won’t be charged because it’ll implicate McGinnis. They need to protect their own more than they need an unethical vengeful floozy.
She may be guilty of perjury, but Ayries is still waaaay more bangable than the menopausal Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz.
Just saying…
I don’t know, but I bet that Nicole Daedone has a nice [redacted]

It’s definitely not mine!
No it is not mine. I thought it was yours.
The Feds won’t prosecute her because then real witnesses won’t come forward…
That’s Feds fear.
It’s just sad. You would think that someone will just want to do the right thing and file some federal criminal complaint against Ayries Blanck.
But I doubt it.
If the Defense Attorneys don’t file a complaint against Ayries Blanck, the only option will be going Pro se.
You have to mega powerful for a private law firm to pick up where another private law firm left off .
Yes … the motion is in plain sight…. but behind the scenes it could get cloak out by confidentiality.
And it’s just messed up sometimes because you would think that a crime is crime and that some prosecutor is ready to do the right thing.
But then all a sudden, that federal crime becomes a personal matter.
And it probably would be a rules of professional conduct conflicts of interest issues for the government to take adverse action against Ayries Blanck.
Ayries Blanck was too stupid for her planned crime, it failed despite the support of many confidants and accomplices, also because of Frank Parlato’s reporting. Hiding behind anonymity and unquestioningly lying, perjuring oneself and falsifying evidence should simply not be tolerated, otherwise all that has now become known, the exposure of Ayries Blanck’s serious criminal behavior, would not have been possible. Especially not if FBI agents had assisted her.
