The Lost Necker Island Photos: Part 1: Richard Branson With Nxivm – Billionaire Says He Knew Nothing About Raniere

Necker IslandNecker Island

Frank Report recently obtained a treasure trove of never before published pictures of the Nxivm retreat on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in 2010.

They feature a who’s who of leading Nxians.

It was at this conference that Nxivm allegedly made plans, as reported by John Tighe on Saratoga in Decline, to expand their racketeering enterprise.

They also conducted a Nxivm intensive and partied hardy.

Nxivm leader Keith Alan Raniere did not attend the retreat.

No one is suggesting that participants like Kristin Kreuk or especially the owner of the island, Richard Branson, had anything to do with the criminal elements of the Nxivm racketeering enterprise.

But it is clear that Branson joined in on at least some of the partying.

Branson apparently endorsed Nxivm/Raniere a year earlier, in 2009, in connection with the visit of the Dalai Lama to endorse Raniere.

“The tools you have for compassionately dealing with complex ethical and global issues are not only unique, but also extremely valuable. This, along with a program of coordinated, organized resources, makes for an innovative approach to transforming our society. I think your founding event will be extraordinary and potentially world-changing!  —Sir Richard Branson Founder, Virgin Group

In 2010, at Necker Island, a Nxivm intensive was held and possibly in the shadowy regions of the Island, the leaders of the cult gathered to make plans for their bulk cash smuggling, sex trafficking, immigration fraud, identity theft, and other crimes and to, in general, satisfy their wondrous urges [i.e. teachings] of their glorious leader, Keith Alan Raniere.

Branson said after the scandal erupted in 2017 that he never heard of Raniere and that he thought that Sara Bronfman had rented the island, but knew nothing about Nxivm.


The Sun and the New York Post reported “The tycoon maintains he was not aware of any seminars — believing instead it was a booking for Sara Bronfman’s friends and family only.

“A Virgin Management spokesman said: ‘Sir Richard Branson has never heard of Keith Raniere, he has never met him and there is absolutely no association between Sir Richard and the Nxivm group or its leader.'”

He Knew Not of Nxivm

Here are some unpublished and a couple of previously published pictures of Richard Branson at Necker Island, during the Nxivm seminar, paid for by Sara Bronfman.

Here are the previously published pics.

Richard Branson has more to think about than some obscure group of weirdos who showed up and rented his island for $250,000 for a week.Richard Branson has more to think about than some obscure group of weirdos who showed up and rented his island for $250,000 for a week.

With Sara Bronfman

Here are the unpublished pictures:

Isn’t that Alejandro “El Duce” Betancourt on Branson’s right?

Branson in a loving embrace with his friend Sara Brnfman. It may be true that Sara did not tell Branson that these were more than her family and friends but members of Nxivm.

Branson’s involvement with Nxvm seems negligible. He rented out his island twice to Sara Bronfman – in 2007 and 2010. [I was told the fee was around $250,000 each time for 5 days each.]

He was there both times and joined in the partying.

In 2009, he seems to have endorsed Nxivm/Raniere. But other than that, there seems to be little or nothing to connect Richard Branson to Nxivm or Keith Raniere.

In fact, I doubt Branson ever met Raniere and could have easily forgotten his name if it was ever mentioned to him.

Stay tuned for the next in our series – the Lost Pictures of Necker Island – Kristin Kreuk.

    “He rented out his island twice to Sara Bronfman – in 2007 and 2010.”

    But are these pics and those to come all from 2010…and not 2007?
  • AnonymousAugust 5, 2019
    Seriously, Franks axe keeps swinging. I'm looking forward to seeing what portraits MK10 and Marie White create.
  • Scott JohnsonAugust 5, 2019
    I'm glad it took almost a decade for these pictures to come out, we wouldn't want to have disrupted the past several years worth of NXIVM adventures.

    Branson looks a LOT cozier with Sara in the new pictures. I know I wouldn't pose for a picture like that with someone who merely rented some property from me.

    It's not surprising Raniere wasn't there, he doesn't come across very well in a social environment. But he should have made the trip, at least it would be a positive memory for him while he probably spends the rest of his life in jail.

      Scott,

      You wouldn't pose with a tenant for such a picture because Sara hasn't arrived yet!

      (teasing)

    “Isn’t that Alejandro “El Duce” Betancourt on Branson’s right?”

    Who knew Betancourt could grow a beard?
    • shadowstate1958August 5, 2019
      Nicki Clyne aka Pea Onyu, Yolanda Cortez, Legatus Pro Tempore and a host of other alter egos claims that she was on Necker Island.

      I hope there are pictures of the new leader of NXIVM with the handsome and dashing Sir Richard Branson.
    • PyrielAugust 5, 2019
      Shadow – He is on Branson's right, if you are Branson. We see the photo as Betancourt being on Branson's left.
  • CYAAugust 5, 2019
    I like the K.K. and Sir Richard disclaimer in the beginning.
  • AlexAugust 5, 2019
    Benjamin Bronfman seems to have been mixing with the company at the table. Why would I want to look for a split second at Raniere if I was in his shoes? Oh! Because I'd have his 'elite' education coupled with a mediocre I.Q..
    • Shivani33August 6, 2019
      Ahem. Benjamin Brewer.
  • SnorlaxAugust 5, 2019
    I have to wonder if the upcoming Kristen Kook pics are the nudes we have heard so much about.

    Avenatti says he's not ruling out 2020 Presidential run.

      Only in America.
      • PyrielAugust 6, 2019
        Avenatti reminds me of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail when he's lost all his limbs in battle. “I'll bite your legs off!”

      Watch it! You stated that as a factual statement and Glazer may come after you.

        Scott 'chicken little' Johnson,

        Run along, the sky is falling!!!!

    After re-examining the Necker Island photos…..

    …. Hypothetical question:

    Would Clare Bronfman have tried to seduce Richard Branson at Keith Raniere's request?

    Did Clare Bronfman seduce and manipulate the Dalai Lama's associate?

    As they used to say in the 90's things that make you go mmh…..
    • dianne LipsonAugust 6, 2019
      niceguy, I don’t know if Clare Bronfman would do these things, but Sara might.
      • AlexAugust 6, 2019
        Dianne,

        Maybe Clare does have limits to what she would do for Raniere, I think that's what you are implying. Well, good to see she does.
      • niceguyAugust 6, 2019
        Diane,

        I meant my comment above in jest. Clare Bronfman couldn't seduce Robinson Crusoe.
  • PaulAugust 6, 2019
    Must be amnesia induced by sitting in the sun for far too long.
  • Benjamin GradinskiAugust 9, 2019
    I think you're trying too hard! Can you name everyone you've ever met? The photos look like a drunken cuddle that you'd never remember. Similar to a one night stand after a party.

    You are really reading too much into this! Richard Branson is one of the richest men in the world. Somehow I don't think he'd become intwined into such things.

    If I am wrong then I hope my Virgin Broadband bill decreases as Virgin in the UK are one of the biggest con artists going! Charging customers for toilet paper is a fcking joke!

    What is it with Branson and these groups? Here he is with EDUCO's Dave O'Connor (Archive.org has intermittent service recently)

SOMOZA OUTSMARTED TRANSAMERICA. THE DOJ MADE HIM PAY FOR IT.

Rev. J. Benjamin Hardwick and Curtis Somoza created a life insurance program for poor South Los Angeles congregants, funded by investors and insured by Transamerica. Early deaths, delayed payouts and federal intervention turned the plan into a fraud case.
