Tomorrow is the start of the jury selection process for the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al. In legal terms, this is called the “Voir Dire” phase of a trial. “Voir Dire” is Latin for “to speak the truth”. The…

What’s she hiding? Thus far, New York State Senator and Presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand has chosen to go with a fairly innocuous, “I never heard of that group” response whenever she’s been asked about the NXIVM sex cult. It was Frank Report…

I remember very clearly the first thought that went through my mind when I heard about the branding that was going on in DOS: “That’s game over for Raniere”. I knew it wouldn’t happen right away – and I wasn’t exactly sure…

In a last-ditch effort to get her trial severed from that of Keith Raniere and Allison Mack, Clare Bronfman is trying to draw a distinction between what she did and what she knew. In the latest filing by one of her attorneys,…

Joan Jett always had a nice way of summing up what was on her mind with just a few poignant words… From: Woe Is Me I don’t got no money All I got’s a name The future’s lookin’ hazy But who can…

A few days ago, I ran across a story that Vanessa Grigoriadis had just written for Vanity Fair about the recent court hearings involving Clare Bronfman – and her hiring of Michael Avenatti to negotiate some kind of plea deal…

Everyone has heard the adage: “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. But not everyone has heard the reverse of that adage: “Old dogs can still do old tricks”. Well, it looks like Clare Bronfman AKA the Faux Fainter is back…

In an earlier post, we broke the news that the prosecution in the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al has agreed to dismiss several charges. The charges in question – and the affected parties – are as follows: • Count…

First of all: There is reportedly another underage girl – besides Jane Doe #2 – who was sexually exploited by Keith Raniere and at least two of Raniere’s racketeering co-defendants knew about and facilitated the sexual exploitation of the other underage girl.…

Although the ultimate decision will be made by Judge G. Garaufis, it now looks almost certain that there will be two trials with respect to the charges that are currently pending against some of the defendants in the case of the U.S.…

UPDATE Judge Garaufis has denied Allison Mack’s motion for a 30-day continuance for the trial that is currently slated to start on April 29th. No reason was given for the denial. And the pressure mounts… ***** Allison Mack wants to get a…

Following in the footsteps of her mother, Lauren Salzman has decided to plead guilty rather than go to trial in the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al.  But whereas Nancy only pleaded guilty to one count of Racketeering Conspiracy, Lauren…

Clare Bronfman certainly doesn’t have much luck when it comes to men… First, she got herself deeply involved in Keith Raniere’s NXIVM/ESP cult – and committed all sorts of crimes to help further the cult’s objectives. Then, just two months before her…

By K. R. Claviger After a long weekend of culling through all the nominations that we received – and carefully vetting out those that appeared to have some sort of Russian connection – we are happy to report that we now have…

Last Friday saw a plethora of motions being filed on behalf of all the remaining defendants in the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al. In part, this is because the second superseding indictment required that all the previously-filed-but-unresolved motions be…

Long-time readers of Frank Report will remember the name Richard Mays. Sr. He’s the former member of the Arkansas Supreme Court who was hired to clean up the mess that Keith Raniere left behind in that state when his Consumers’ Buyline business…

Even Clare Bronfman has standards… While she’s OK being tried with someone who, like herself, has been charged with Racketeering, Racketeering Conspiracy, Identity Theft, and Immigration Offenses, she does not want to be tried with anyone who is facing any sex-related charges.…

Just one day after they found out that all three of three co-defendants are currently engaged in plea deal negotiations, Keith Raniere and Clare Bronfman are scrambling to avoid going to prison for long periods of time. But unlike in the past…
