The Merchant of NXIVM

Well today was another blistering day in bankruptcy court for Barbara Bouchey as the Bronfman brats attorney, Damon Morrey filed a notice of objection to Bouchey’s motion to hire four professionals. I am not an attorney nor do I pretend to be one on this blog ,but the way I understand it, as a women in Capter11 bankruptcy, Bouchey needs permission to spend her limited funds from her Bankruptcy trustee who is overseen by a judge. In this case Judge Littlefield.
Bouchey wants four things
1. Permission to sign a contract with Scott Varley to act as realtor to sell her house
2. Permission to retain the services of a public relations firm to protect and rebuilt her tarnished image
3. Permission to retain the law firm of Stark and Stark to defend her in upcoming legal battles to retain her licenses to continue her business.
4. Permission to hire a criminal defense lawyer Pamela Hayes to protect her first amendment rights and to defend her against the Bronfman brats plan to file criminal charges against her

Now I might have a few small parts wrong but the entire documents are available at the end of this post.

To say the Bronfman object is an understatement. A objection filed by their attorney is venomous and to coin a favorite phrase of Steve Coffey, full of HATE, HATE, HATE and open scorn for the Bronfman’s one time friend and confident Ms Bouchey’

It just amazes me how these people can lie.
They claim that that the first amendment council is not beneficial or necessary for the estate{GOD how Vanguard and the Bronfman’s just hate the constitution}

They also claim that the women, Attorney Pamela Nichols called Gailen’s mother, Kristen Keefe, a women whose closest acquaintances have described to me as “unfit to raise a cat” does not now nor did she ever work for Albany District Attorney David Soares. They also claim they have no relationship with him and have not contacted him. I would like to have Soares under oath to see what he might say to that.
Soares himself is under fire as CBS6 recently reported that Court documents raise the possibility that Albany County District Attorney David Soares leaked details of a secretive grand jury proceeding and a sealed indictment then lied about it under oath.
{here}
Unfortunately at this point Bankrupcy trustee Tracy Hope Davis Court asked the court to issue an order denying the September 13, 2010 application of the debtor to employ
Scott Varley, Pamela Hayes, Esq., Stark and Stark, Philip Armstrong and PCA & Company.
A hearing has been scheduled at Federal Bankruptcy court.
HEARING DATE: September 22, 2010
HEARING TIME: 10:30 a.m.
HEARING PLACE: Albany, New York

Now I will exercise my first Amendment rights.

The Bronfmans want payback, that fucking simple. They want revenge for being made a laughing stock and a joke. They despise me because I am everything they hate, a simple blogger with no money or power, who laughs at them daily and doesn’t fear their power or their money, Basically they don’t act much different than a asshole who gets his ass kicked in a bar than runs out to grab 5 of his asshole friends to beat the crap out of the man that won a fair and just fight. Might be a simple analogy but it fits.

To the Federal Bankruptcy court I will show the proper decorum and respect they are do and argue for Bouchey and against the Bronfmans.

To your Honor Judge Littlefield
A pound of Flesh
Is a powerful phrase because it restores materiality--corporeality--to the Law. When you hear "a pound of flesh," you're reminded that the Law affects people in real, quantifiable and sometimes visceral ways--it's not some abstract moral code. The phrase cuts through the bureaucratic fog of legal/institutional jargon, getting to the beating, blood-pumping heart of the matter. The Law can kill you. Now, the Law isn't supposed to wield a flesh-cutting knife--the sword in Lady Justice's hand is the power of the state, not a carving tool.We trust you will not let the Bronfman’s treat their suppliants like so many rump roasts.
The prodigality of the Law, its material investment in its own outcomes, is what "a pound of flesh" has come to mean. The sense that punishments are not commensurate with crimes, that the pound of flesh is something in excess of justice. Let Bouchey hire these people to get on with her life. Remember the oath of our Supreme Court judges
“I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich”
And some unsolicited advice to the Bronfman brats

In the Merchant of Venice, Shylock is denied his literal pound of flesh and they extract a figurative one from him at the end of the play. They've taken his demand and metaphorized it—you claim that Bouchey has created a press frenzy and has caused you embarrassment and ridicule.
I would say on to you. That your own pettiness, nastiness and need for revenge has caused you more disgrace in the eyes of the public than anything I, or Bouchey, or the New York Post ever could. Take a look in the mirror ladies it’s not a pretty picture.

Finally I’m sure this is full of typos but I do the best I can. Barbara Bouchey had no input, either directly or indirectly with the writing of this post. If anyone disagrees they are free to send a rebuttal and I will post it with no edits. just sent to my e-mail address

The Bronfman Brats need a spanking and time out said...

Oh the high and mighty Bronfman Brats who believe they know best of how Bouchey should spend her money to pay back her debt.

I'm not saying after reading the court documents that Bouchey has come up with the best plan of action regarding her repayment. Spending the type of money she has on a PR firm was not a good investment if she has limited funding and owes other people money.

Why Bouchey needs a criminal attorney is beyond me unless she believe the Brats and the Con Man next plan of action is to find some government official that is willing to press charges.

It's a shame the Brats are not as on top of how their mentors and leaders VanFraud and the Not So Nice Nurse spend their papa and grandpa money.

Come on 60 + millions on corn futures? Talk about irresponsible spending of an estates money this hits the top of stupid spending. No one in their right mind would blow this type of money on corn.

Why don't you hire a psychologist to protect you from your stupid thinking. The smartest man (hahahahaha) and the psychotherapist nurse (what a joke she is) are not looking out for your best interest.

What the hell are you brats thinking.Maybe the problem is your not thinking and your letting your mentors do all of your thinking for you.

Too bad the courts don't tell you how you should you spend your money. You know the money your grandpa and papa made and gave to you that you didn't have to earn.

This posters hope you are left without a penny and have to hock the silver spoons that you were born with to buy some top roman to feed yourself.

Here we go again ladies and gentlean said...

Hang on tax payers and Judge Littlefield, your in for another fun filled NXIVM ride, with Kristin Keeffe (mother of the child), in charge of yet another bankruptcy marathon, are you kidding me??? When in someone going to look into what they are doing with their money??? How about the buying of a child???..How about all those political favors -you still out their Jack??? Will some court , some office, somebody please look into that??? .The court is not allowing her to even hire a lawyer to protect her from people who sue for a living ...ask the Continental how the feel

"It just amazes me how these people can lie."

Not me. Cults live by two sets of ethics. Cults are led by sociopaths, and they lie often, and repeatedly. They'll also act hypocritical and contradict themselves. When push comes to shove, they'll continue to break their own moral code which they speciously claim to adhere to - which ironically got them into the negative position in the first place - just to save themselves.

But, Sara will continue to quote famous, often times ethical people on her twitter, and we'll all still laugh at how she doesn't practice what she is apparently intending to preach. I guess it's not all that bad. At least she has shown that she's a good student, and has learned well from her guru master.

Becca said...

Based on all the docs, it seems the gist is that Bouchey is getting screwed by the Bronfmans and the judicial system. She is filing bankruptcy, her business is circling the drain and, is this part correct, she can't sell her house bc the papers she filed for the aforesaid were denied.
I'm wondering why she doesn't do a 'sell by owner' on the house.
Also it appears that the Bronfmans filed a claim that normally needs to be filed weeks in advance but the judge stamped it as ok to file the day before. How is that possible?
Based on everything I have learned re BB's conduct after discovering the ugliness of Raniere and the core of NXIVM, I am no longer 100% in BB's favor, nor view her as a total victim of circumstance. That said, I never grew up in poverty, worked my ass off to become as financially successful as she did and then had it all ripped away from me by someone I loved and trusted. So, I can't say how I would handle myself in that situation. I would hope it would be totally transparent and ethically, but it's kind of like parenthood: You don't know till you know.

Bochey should tell them to fuck themselves.Convert to chapter 7 and tell them to take there debts and take a flying fuck.Once you are out of Chapter 7 by a new hat go to the track and blow a 100 grand on an even money shot the whole time knowing the money you are blowing came from the brats

Anonymous said...

Does she really think anyone is going to hire her as an advisor after all this? The regulatory system is really broken if they don't yank her license.

Sorry for my poor english said...

I wonder what the Bronfman sisters are made from...

-What are THEIR motivations ?
-What are THEY thinking ?
-What is happening to them since they met Raniere ?
-What is thinking their REAL family members of their involvment in NXIVM ?

These girls are dangerous instruments in Ranieres hands, but what are they really expecting from NXIVM ?

Helping (or saving !) humanity in using their heritage to sponsor a little pervert tyrant ?

Can't they understand that their beloved Keith has multiple faces and that he's only showing them the I speak to cashtank Bronfman siters ones ?

Hypocrite, Manipulator, Calculator and Liar ! They are crying on the bad fame of the little hypocrite and liar who is using them that so vile way. They are crying for injustice against his detractors.

But when will they wake up from this fucking forclosure ? Why don't they try to watch what are those others beloved Keith's faces ? Why don't they try to know who is Keith "Vanguard" Raniere ?

Susan told the way she left NXIVM. Is she really a traitor ? Or did she have a snapshot of Raniere's others faces ?

I dare (I pray, because I don't think they would put an eye here...) the Bronfman sisters to make their own investigation about Raniere, by themselves, in a very pro-active and proficient manner.

They have a very partial view on Raniere's multiple faces and personality, they really need to look further even if they are scared by what they will find...

As the myth unravels.... said...

It's starting to unravel. As Becca so aptly compared NXIVM to an onion, as we peel it back the truth is coming into focus. As the documentation comes to light in preparation to a hand off to the media, Raniere's fictional history is becoming clearer:

FACT OR FICTION?

1. Raniere's IQ - FICTION!
2. Raniere's education - PARTIALLY TRUE!
3. Track records - FICTION!
4. East Coast Judo Champion - FICTION!

The documentation is there and will soon be in the hands of The Times Union, Metroland, Rick Ross, MacLeans, and others.

The truth shows a story nearly as bizarre as Raniere's own made up biography. The picture of a spoiled Mama's boy crybaby brat with a severe inferiority complex and an explosive temper, inflated sense of self worth and a near pathological need to lie and an insatiable craving to be worshipped.

@10:09 AM

The girls are basically suffering from what is known as cognitive dissonance (from Wiki):

"Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.

An early version of cognitive dissonance theory appeared in Leon Festinger's 1956 book, When Prophecy Fails. This book gave an inside account of the increasing belief which sometimes follows the failure of a cult's prophesy. The believers met at a pre-determined place and time, believing they alone would survive the earth's destruction. The appointed time came and passed without incident. They faced acute cognitive dissonance: had they been the victim of a hoax? Had they donated their worldly possessions in vain? Most members chose to believe something less dissonant: the aliens had given earth a second chance, and the group was now empowered to spread the word: earth-spoiling must stop. The group dramatically increased their proselytism despite the failed prophecy."

The girls would rather accept all of the ludicrous notions proposed by Raniere (the world is out to get him, market forces conspired against him, it was the Bronfman's father or Bouchey's bad energy that caused the losses, etc., etc.) that no one in their right mind would believe, than to accept the fact that they were stupid enough to have been fooled by a unethical and ingenuous, sex and gambling addicted con-man.

I'm gonna make Sara my Cult Bitch said...

This just shows that she is getting out-lawyer'd in the early rounds here. The filings are sloppy.

Recall: she wasn't too happy about hiring her current counsel, but she felt like she had no other options.

Sorry for my poor english said...

OMG ! ...The group dramatically increased their proselytism despite the failed prophecy.

Okay, so I can resume by : They are deep in the shit. They are far from the exit, are they ?

Thank you 10:24 ! I didn't knew about cognitive dissonance.

Sorry for my poor english said...

...stupid enough to have been...

Well, I don't know if it's a good idea crucifying them this way. Naive is more appropriate than stupid...

Anonymous said...

Naive? No. Stupid. You don't let someone else blow away $100 million dollars of your money unless you are. They may not be stupid, but they certainly acted like they were stupid.

Raniere has probably promised to pay them back. Yeah right. Promises made by sociopaths are empty shells of nothing. Where is this fool ever going to come up with $100 million dollars? Ripping off Richard Branson? Bwahahahaha. Unlike the sisters he actually made his own money.

Sorry for my poor english said...

That's right,losing $100M to NXIVM is STUPID...

VanFraud's Biographer said...

Keith has one of the highest scores in the history of the high-IQ organization 'The Mega Society' on their Mega Test. The test he took is one that allows the participant to take as long as needed to answer all questions, and to use any resources available to complete the test.

In a June 1988 article from the Albany Times-Union posted on the Executive Success Programs website (espian.net), Keith states that it took him 2 weeks to complete the Mega test.

In a December 2007 post on a high-IQ internet forum (cerebrals.com), Keith states that it took him 4 days (only 10 total hours) to complete the Mega test.

THOSE ARE FACTS.

Now, I have a theory:

As a child, Keith Raniere possessed a high IQ, probably in the 160-170 range. Because of this fact, he received a tremendous amount of attention and admiration. He thought he was the most special boy in the whole wide world because none of the kids in school had such a high IQ. Hell, very few adults possessed such raw intelligence as young Keith. Some kids would shy away from attention, but Keith was the kind of kid who LOVED it, and that need for attention fueled him towards being accepted at RPI at age 16.

In college, Keith continued to enjoy the attention afforded to a boy genius studying at a prestigious university, but as his college years wore on, he realized that he wasn't the only one with a genius IQ. There were a half-dozen kids in every college class of his that were as smart as him. At RPI, he realized that out in the big world, outside of his hometown and local county, maybe he wasn't so special.

As Keith entered his early 20s, he was no longer a wide-eyed child prodigy genius. He was just another young college grad. He stopped seeing his name in the paper. Off campus, people didn't recognize him or swoon over him.

Becoming loved and respected and admired for being a genius was something he craved so deeply, he decided to do something about it. He wanted to be the smartest man in the world, but there was a problem: he had to come up with a way for people to believe it. He knew he couldn't take an IQ test and crank out a 240.

Keith being Keith, he attacked the problem and found an ingenious solution.

He would find a way to rig an IQ test so that he could be officially declared 'the smartest man in the world.'

He became involved with Mega Society, an exclusive, high-IQ organization whose test for entrance was self-administered, with no time limits or restrictions.

When Keith applied his high intelligence towards finding a way to cheat on the Mega test, he was successful.

Exactly HOW he cheated on it is tough to discern, but one likely possibility is that he somehow managed to get the test in advance, allowing him weeks or even months to begin working on it, day and night, using calculators and libraries. By the time he officially 'took' the test, he had already completed it. He waited a few days, filled in the answers, got a couple wrong so it didn't look like he cheated, and submitted it.

After becoming a member of Mega Society, he immediately issued press releases, did interviews, and began building his own myth as the smartest man alive.

Anonymous said...

Wait, the Mega Society says that Marilyn Vos Savant also scored a 46/48 on the Mega Test, but that's supposedly equal to a 176 IQ.

Where the hell does Keith come up with 240?

Anonymous said...

The Mega test never changes. It's always the exact same test as originally published in OMNI Magazine, a sister publication to PENTHOUSE. The test has never changed and is self administered with no time limit. Takers are SUPPOSED to take the test with no outside help, but there is no monitoring so that the test is considered a sham.

Anyone can get and take the test by sending in $50 to the scam artist who runs MEGA, Keith's kinda guy!

It's a joke which any serious scholar brushes off as pseudoscience. It's comparable to mail order diploma mills.

The entire Raniere legend is a myth and sham.

Sorry for my poor english said...

Okay, let's assume this guy have the highest IQ in the world...

To illustrate what I'm going to tell herein : In the history of humanity, some of the "suppressives" who had taken "the fall" have a high IQ higher thant "average people".

Such as :
-Charles Manson [109 and later 121]
-Richard loeb [160, unveiled during childhood]
-Theodore "Unabomber" Kaczynskitional [170, unveiled at 10]
-Al Capone [rumored 200]
-Nathan Leopold [210, unveiled during childhood]
-etc.

So, making the statement that people with high IQ are naturally honest (and naturally inclined in providind the universal thuth ?!?) is apparently wrong. A higher IQ doesn't necessarily mean a higher level of consciousness and empathy, or if, it means that higher IQ people could also transgress them. (Let's see the interresting Nathan Leopold"* case... Does "Vanguard" believe he can create the perfect cult ?)

Lets say that Raniere is the smartest living being in the Universe and it's parallel dimensions, let's say that he's the living abstractive abilities god, the überbrain by excellence ! Yes, Keith "Vanguard" Raniere is the smartest man in the surface of planet earth and perhaps in the ... absolute everything ... and so what ?

Does it make him a superior being among humanity ? NO ! Perhaps a superior intelligence !...

Does it make him the keeper of THE TRUTH (the big one, the universal one !!!) ? NO ! Perhaps an amazing biological problem solving machine !...

Does it make him naturally a good leader for humanity ? NOPE ! Let's think about a great genius leader of the 30's who solved Germany's "problem" his fashion ...

A cult such as NXIVM is a great opportunity for whole humanity : It's another proof that "intellectocracy" doesn't work as a political model, it's just a vulgar dictactorship.

My last words in this post : As no one can commit the perfect crime, no one can create the perfect cult. Scientology is a well done scam but it doesn't enjoy impunity because of it's complexity !.. (Let's tell about infiltration, FUD campaigns, intimidation and corruption !)

Anonymous said...

We know for certain, Raniere's reported IQ is not documented or credible and in the absence of reliable data, we have to assume we do not know his IQ. It may well be 80 for all we know (he certainly does not act intelligent. The only IQ data we have is from the completely inaccurate Mega IQ Test which has been proven to be essentially a scam and not at all accurate.

If he is of high intelligence, he's just one more example of someone with high intelligence who has never been able to apply that intelligence to a positive end.

the poser from 2:51AM points out a number of high IQ people, most notably perhaps the Unabomber, who's so called intelligence was essentially psychopathic, as Raniere seems to be as well. Raniere just has not advance to the anti-social behavior of Kaczynski to our knowledge. Personally, would never turn my back on Raniere or expose anything of value to him without very strong supervision.

There are many other examples of high IQ individuals who have been successful funneling their intelligence to successful endeavers (Hawking, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Heineman, Oppenheimer, Fermi, etc.). Raniere just seems to be one of the poor souls blessed with brains, but doesn't have the common sense to use them.

One of the common denominators of both high IQ people who have gone criminal and low IQ criminals as well is the warped desire to be worshipped and to tell the world how smart they are. True smart people NEVER EVER promote their IQ's. The simple observation that one would need to "brag" about their brains suggests are very serious character flaw which Raniere certainly could be the poster child for. He has to tout his brilliance because inside he is so insecure and has such a strong inferiority complex he must try to hide it with nonsensical rantings.

In some respects I pity the man, but his deeds have harmed so many others, any pity is misguided.

With luck, he will be discredited and will fade from view without causing further, or disastrous, harm to people.

He worked for division of Parole ?

very interesting. Notice he didn't keep jobs or occupations same for long periods of time.
Says alot about his attention span or lack there off.

What was Raniere Associates ? what type of business was it does anyone know ??

NXIVM Forum said...

Yep...He worked for the Division of Parole. Maybe he wanted to see how that system worked before he was in it.

Not sure what Raniere Associates did. Does anyone else have any info on that?

Pam Cafritz also worked for Prepaid Legal Services - which, not surprisingly, is another MLM.

Have not been able to verify what year he started at RPI but if it was, in fact, 1977, he would have been 17 years old instead of the claimed 16.

According to his RPI roommate, Vanfraud kept coming up with excuses as to why he couldn't teach him some of his judo skills. Gosh, what a surprise.

Is there anyone out there who happened to cross paths with him at Trans World Systems, Public Mangement Systems or the Division of Parole?

just us chickens said...

More public information about Keith and First Principles. Have a look at these trademarks:

http://tiny.cc/lc0ms

They've trademarked "Vanguard"? I wonder if that address shown is the new First Principles headquarters.

HAHAHAWAITAMINUTE said...

Keith Raniere claimed in a published interview from 1988 to have dropped out of high school at age 16 to go to RPI.

In fact, Keith graduated from a prestigious private school, which he had attended for two years.

He graduated from Rockland County Day School in 1977, the year he turned 17, which would put him about a year ahead of schedule for the average student. The fact that he went to RPI certainly shows that he was a very accomplished student, but still, it's quite common for incoming college freshman classes to have a few 17-year-old prep school whiz kids.

While it sounds like Keith's academic accomplishments could be classified as above-average, he certainly wasn't an extraordinary, 'one-in-ten-million' high school dropout supergenius.

I really hope that John or someone in the media or another blogger could put together a comprehensive yet concise, documented claim-by-claim debunking of Raniere's self-aggrandizing, phony biography.

just a crock of shit said...

VanGod is a fruad in so many ways. As the vail of lies is lifted Raniere being the scum that he is do you think he will bail the country before he would allow himself to be arrested?

We know who will take the hit legally, with back taxes being due will be the one and only Not So Nice Nurse

What Bronfman Brat will leave with him? Sara or Clair or both. Most likely Clair as she fits VanGods profile. Thin, long hair, can't think for herself and lots of money.

Sara quick run to the hills, save yourself, your sister is lost to him.

One problem VanGod will have is if Clair ever gets wind of what VanGod is really like. I would love to see this happen. Than VanGod will have Clair and her daddy to deal with.

Better keep her happy and under your mind contorl VanGod. You are no match for the wrath of Bronfman, that's why you didn't sue papa Bronfman when he called you a cult in the press.

You says it's becuase you got to pick your battles but we all know it's becuase your a winer. hahahahahahahah

Uuuuuh-oooh !

From Wikipedia's Pre-Paid Legal Services page, I found : << In 2001, the Wyoming Attorney General issued a press release announcing "When we discovered that Pre-Paid was using prohibited income representations to promote their multilevel marketing program, we warned them that the representations were prohibited by Wyoming law”. Pre-Paid paid $4000 in lieu of civil penalties, reimbursed the state for $1000 in costs, and refunded $2000 to participants who claimed to have been misled. >>

A pure coincidence ?
