Unwrapping the enigma of the Barbara J. Bouchey

You know Bronfman’s, you might wish the public to think that you are some kind of persecuted and crucified women. But I’ll tell you, the view from the foot of Calvary, looks like you’re the ones pounding the nails.

The bankruptcy of Barbara J. Bouchey is starting to resemble the theater of the absurd since the women asked the court to allow her to hire a criminal attorney to protect her from the piranha’s at everyone’s favorite law office O’Connell and Aronowitz, home of SUPERLAWYER STEPHEN R. COFFEY and his trusted partner and Jr.sidekick Ms. Nichols.All of this is supported by documents found at the end of this story and from the June 2, 2009 deposition in the Precision Development lawsuit. Ms Bouchey did not contact me or give me any information in this story directly or indirectly.
It is taken from public records that any blogger with a high speed modem and a chip on his shoulder can access. Seems the Bronfman brats are claiming that Bouchey by insisting that during a 6-8 month period that began sometime in 2001, Raniere lost $7 million in the commodities market that included her life savings of $1.65 million. That somehow by claiming this, she is guilty of extortion for having the audacity to even bring it up. They go on to claim that Bouchey publicly has humiliated them. Richard Croak, Bankruptcy attorney for Bouchey also claims that Albany DA David Soares is in the pocket of the Bronfman brats{see documents at the end} or full motion {here}

Bouchey has gone out and hired Pamela D. Hayes a competent and famous Manhattan attorney. The only problem is she doesn’t come cheap at over $450 dollars an hour. And it seems that this action couldn’t have come at a better time as shyster Steve Coffey filed his own motion today

{HERE}


Also on small point the last notation on the Coffey motion is Scr/Bronfman/afns.doc. I would guess the Bronfmans who are really NXIVM, are still paying little Stevie and Pam



So what else might Bouchey know?

Let’s see what’s in that the June 2, 2009 deposition in the Precision Development lawsuit. in a nutshell
While a member of NXIVM, she:
Started the Vanguard Library Forum Committee;
Started the NXIVM Café (This is an unlicensed facility at the NXIVM
Center at 455 New Karner Road);
Started the Vanguard Library Fund;

Started – and served as President of The Ethical Humanitarian Foundation (She has testified elsewhere that she was merely the Bronfman sisters’ bookkeeper for this entity); and Raised “about $400,000” for The Ethical Humanitarian Foundation (Approximately $168,000 of these funds are unaccounted for.
During a 6-8 month period that began sometime in 2001,
Raniere lost $7 million in the commodities market (This is at least $3 million more than has ever been reported). This included her life savings of $1.65 million;
$1.4 million that was borrowed from Michael Sutton;
$700,000 that was borrowed from her cousin, Chrissey Carey; and
$200,000 that was borrowed from Noelle Nielsen (She said that Noelle Nielsen was “paid back with interest”).
Raniere offered the following excuses to explain his losses
in the commodities market:
The clearing firm was rigging the prices;
There was a conspiracy in the marketplace
against him – and the market was being rigged against him (Note: According
to Raniere, others in the market knew that it was him doing the trading); -
The “universal forces” were working
against him because he was a “spiritual being”; and -
The market was crashing because of
Barbara J. Bouchey s emotional reaction to the loss of her money.

Sometime after the Bronfman sisters became involved with
NXIVM, Raniere started doing commodities trading again. Over a short
period of time, he lost $65-$70 million, all of which was covered via loans
from the Bronfman sisters.

The original budget for the Precision Development project was $13 million. This eventually grew to $26 million.
• She stated that she found the following things objectionable
about NXIVM (It’s hard to believe that this was all she found objectionable):
-The leadership conducts itself in a
personal way at times;-
The leadership shows favoritism and not intragroup exchanges;

- The leadership has secrets and things
they don’t divulge to the community;
-
The leadership is not transparent;
-
The leadership has labeled her a“full suppressive”; and
-
The leadership uses manipulation of people.

• She has relied on a psychic named Robert Petro “for coaching
and psychic means” – and has paid him “thousands a year” for his
services. She also said that she had used other psychics over the past 5 years.
• She stated that she is aware that “…most of NXIVM is funded
by the Bronfmans” (The quoted language actually came from the Bronfman
sisters’ Robert D. Crockett).

So you can just imagine what else she knows
Coffey is dragging her in for a Rule 2004 examination in his office September 24 from 1 to 4 o’clock. Just to be a pain in the ass.
Note of legal point for Bouchey you do not have to acquiesce to the demand that this Rule 2004. Examination be held in the law office O’Connell and Aronowitz,.You can have it almost anywhere. I would also be happy to attend on your behalf just ask.





Rule 2004. Examination
(a) Examination on motion.
On motion of any party in interest, the court may order the examination of any entity.
(b) Scope of examination.
The examination of an entity under this rule or of the debtor under § 343 of the Code may relate only to the acts, conduct, or property or to the liabilities and financial condition of the debtor, or to any matter which may affect the administration of the debtor's estate, or to the debtor's right to a discharge. In a family farmer's debt adjustment case under chapter 12, an individual's debt adjustment case under chapter 13, or a reorganization case under chapter 11 of the Code, other than for the reorganization of a railroad, the examination may also relate to the operation of any business and the desirability of its continuance, the source of any money or property acquired or to be acquired by the debtor for purposes of consummating a plan and the consideration given or offered therefor, and any other matter relevant to the case or to the formulation of a plan.
(c) Compelling attendance and production of documentary evidence.
The attendance of an entity for examination and for the production of documents, whether the examination is to be conducted within or without the district in which the case is pending, may be compelled as provided in Rule 9016 for the attendance of a witness at a hearing or trial. As an officer of the court, an attorney may issue and sign a subpoena on behalf of the court for the district in which the examination is to be held if the attorney is admitted to practice in that court or in the court in which the case is pending.
(d) Time and place of examination of debtor.
The court may for cause shown and on terms as it may impose order the debtor to be examined under this rule at any time or place it designates, whether within or without the district wherein the case is pending.
(e) Mileage.
An entity other than a debtor shall not be required to attend as a witness unless lawful mileage and witness fee for one day's attendance shall be first tendered. If the debtor resides more than 100 miles from the place of examination when required to appear for an examination under this rule, the mileage allowed by law to a witness shall be tendered for any distance more than 100 miles from the debtor's residence at the date of the filing of the first petition commencing a case under the Code or the residence at the time the debtor is required to appear for the examination, whichever is the lesser

Raniere lost those millions trading commodities for one simple reason --- HE IS FUCKIN STUPID.

looking into the Mega IQ test and it's developer, one can only conclude the test itself is a scam. It's administered unsupervised and with no time limit. Rigged!!!!

She deserves everything she gets. She has made people's lives miserable. Sorry, Barbara, but you knew what you were doing when you dumped husband # (how many was it) at a dinner attended by your new lover. Sorry Barbara, but you knew what you were doing when you had miserable meetings in your office on Union Avenue and literally pulled people's lives apart -- how about the Loseys and other people who worked for you, not to mention people who literally had nervous breakdowns in your office. Sorry you're having a hard time, but you screwed so many people, you deserve everything you get. If you want to keep unwrapping, John, go ahead, but you won't find much. Barbara Bouchey is a loser and a joke. There is nothing to unwrap, no enigma, just an empty soulless non-being.

Anonymous said...

Sounds like Bouchey has some skeletons in the closet and is not coming forward with all her information.

However, she left the group and thats that.
If people who have left the cult are blamed for their actions within the cult then they will be affraid to leave.

Raniere is the culprit and yes he's good at brain fucking people. But if we talk shit about people who have left no matter how high up they were and no matter what they did we are just preventing others from coming out.

Unfortunatly, these assholes like to sue people and the more assets one has the more leverage it gives Raniere and Co.

The more people that leave raniere the more he will be weakend that is the goal. Leaving him will cause great harm in his ability to conduct his lame, fake, hopeless acts of control to assist him in his need to feel the way he does. Sad little fucker he is.

Fuck you NXIVM.

Anonymous said...

I think it possible Raniere wants to shut people up because we have yet to see the most damaging information about his behavior.

When the flood gates do finally open I wonder if it will leave those that know / knew him shocked.

Salzman and Coffey are really grasping at stews here. How many people have left ESP / NXIVM? I’ve read about 12,000 have been through some part of the trainings. With only about 200 “follows” this leaves about 10,000 people out there with NXIVM “trade secrets”.

What a joke “trade secrets”

What’s with the “trade secrets” anyway? Seems like smoke and mirrors to me. I cannot image anyone running out and using anything “trade secrets” I have read in any publication that would cause Salzman any loss of revenue.

Is Raniere fearful that someone will study his “Con” game and cons some of the rich brats of the world before he gets to them?

Maybe he’s scared that someone will steal his “trade secret” commodity game plan. With such a good track record of in commodities market people could be hiding in the bushes at his house waiting to get a peek at the math genius “how to beat the market and win millions” book.

Bouchey really let the cat out of the bag on this one. How will his formula be safe? Oh ya that’s right, he didn’t win, he lost millions. Hahahahahahaha


Does anyone really believe Judge Littlefield will buy this? If he does than someone need to investigate the judges history with the Ex-NXIVM’s in his court. First there was Natile, than O’Hara and now Bouchey.

What are the facts of their outcomes in his court? Might be a good story John.

What Trade Secrets Ms Salzman? said...

Wonder if His Honor Judge Littlefield knows about what the The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has to say about Raniere and Salzman's trade secrets?

To find the 18 claims that NXIVM has filed that it's "trade secrets" can do go to The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)

http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?WO=2002021481&IA=US2000040818&DISPLAY=CLAIMS

Here is what the WIPO is saying about the 18 claims

Claims 1 – 18 lack industrial applicability as defined by PCT Article 33(4). The claims are replete with subjective and indefinite terminology which makes it impossible for a user to perform the method without undue experimentation, and with reliable results.

Claims 1 – 18 lack an inventive step under
PCT Article 33(3) as being obvious over Price. The claims as understood are directed to a method of self-improvement comprising the steps of examining an internal belief, comparing it with an external reality, and working to alter the beliefs to conform more closely to the external reality. Such a method of examine one’s internal belief is well known. Price suggest this comparison of beliefs to reality, in particular on pages 3 – 4 paragraphs 9 -16. While Prices does not explicitly disclose all the steps claimed, such as the examination of freewill in claim 2 and the derivations of limitation in claims 4-7, such steps are well known, to the extent they can be understood from the claims, and those do not involve inventive steps.

These can be found at
http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wads.jsp?IA=US2000040818&LANGUAGE=EN&ID=09006361800e35d8&VOL=23&DOC=009d5f&WO=02/021481&WEEK=NA&TYPE=NA&DOC_TYPE=IPER&TOK=0hHFBmv2qlipcD-DMz2X4xBlWAk&PAGE=1

Come out and lets's stand strong together said...

This is no different than what NXIVM and now the main follower the Bronfman's has done in other court cases. There seems to be a pattern to all of them.

CBI
Toni Natalie
Rick Ross
Stephanie Franco
O'Hara
Metroland
Precision Development & the Plyam's
Bouchey

I'm sure there are others - please share ones you know of

It's could be why Bouchey was turned down by so many attorney's in Albany to handle her bankruptcy. Many in town do not what to deal with the shoveling of shit that NXIVM / follwers dish out in court.

Not to win but to eat up people's resources it would appear.

Raniere and his legal team seem to be as successful at winning legal cases as he is in the commodities market - he bats a big fat 0

Based on Raniere's patterns there has to be more dirt about Raniere from his past.

There seems to be many ex-NXIVM who are speaking out but what about those from his CBI days or RPI days?

Anyone out there that could come forward and share with the readers of this blog what you know about Raniere or Salzman might help hundreds if not thousands.

Contact John on this blog or the Times Union if you don't want to do a post here.

Once again John thanks for allowing us to have an place to voice our concerns, facts and for some anger.

To Raniere and his followers, if you don't like what is written and are having a reaction, go get, what do you call it, an EM.

To Stevie, here's one more for the bank. Your might just hate yourself when the truth comes out about this guy and know everyday for the rest of your life you protected him and his side kick Salzman. You do have a choice dude.

I'm a "smellin" a stinky fish here and with this exposure the truth is going to come out as people will start to surface and come out of the wood work.

I bet it's a story that is going to makes Tiger Woods look like an eagle scout.

Becca said...

I have read through all the unbelievably wordy and usually disengaging documents and really all I can ascertain is that Bouchey lost her life savings to Raniere's poor judgment in the commodities market. He blamed this on external and sometimes laughable forces. Bouchey didn't tell anyone of this loss and then borrowed more huge sums of money from others...to cover her own losses or to give to Raniere or both?
Bouchey is being sued by the Bronfmans for breach of contract bc she showed all the "Intellectual Property" papers to her lawyer and/or a PR person. Is that correct? She is filing bankruptcy. And she is counter suing Bronfmans/NXIVM for all the money she has lost. Raniere's name is on almost no documents, so it will be challenging to legally tie him in. And basically, every time someone tries to sue NXIVM, ie the Plyams, Bouchey, etc., NXIVM immediately counter sues, demands no paperwork be submitted into evidence and does whatever they can to convolute the entire process, slowing everything down to a crawl and giving them enough time to cover their tracks
If I am missing important parts, can someone fill me in?

Bouchey uses a psychic?

A. Her credibility as a witness is now zero (if it warnt already)

B. How is she legally allowed to be still be managing other peoples money?

I did not read through it all, but how is soares invloved? has anyone researched a list of all the political people who took money from this cult or their supporters?

Why was my last comment blocked? i thought this was an open blog.

To ANONYMOUS 11:13 PM

"However, she left the group and that's that."
REALLY? I DON'T THINK SO AND HERE'S THE TOP 10 REASONS WHY:

1. BOUCHEY WAS A HIGH-RANKING MEMBER OF THE NXIVM HIERARCHY, NOT SOME RANK-AND-FILE ETHOS STUDENT. AS SUCH, SHE WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE MANIPULATIVE TECHNIQUES THAT NXIVM USES TO GAIN CONTROL OVER PEOPLE AND SHE ROUTINELY USED THOSE SAME TECHNIQUES TO HELP NXIVM EXPAND ITS SPHERE OF INFLUENCE.

2. BOUCHEY RECRUITED LOTS OF PEOPLE INTO THE NXIVM CULT EVEN AFTER SHE SUPPOSEDLY STARTED HAVING “SECOND THOUGHTS” ABOUT ITS INTEGRITY, OPERATIONS AND PURPOSE. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WASTED THEIR TIME AND MONEY SUPPORTING SOMETHING THAT BOUCHEY KNEW WAS ROTTEN AT THE CORE.

3. BOUCHEY WAS OFTEN SENT IN TO KEEP OTHER NXIVM MEMBERS IN LINE WHENEVER THEY BEGAN ASKING EMBARASSING QUESTIONS ABOUT NXIVM AND ITS LEADERS. AS A RESULT, MOST OF THESE PEOPLE WERE SILENCED AND MANY OF THEM WERE FINANCIALLY RUINED.

4. BOUCHEY MADE A BOATLOAD OF MONEY IN HER ROLE AS A NXIVM SENIOR PROCTOR AND FIELD TRAINER. AND, BECAUSE OF HER BUSINESS EXPERTISE AND FINANCIAL TRAINING, SHE HAD TO KNOW THAT NXIVM IS A PONZI SCHEME.

5. BOUCHEY ALSO MADE A BOATLOAD OF MONEY OFF THE BRONFMANS. AND SHE LET THEM PISS AWAY MILLIONS TO COVER VANFRAUD’S COMMODITIES LOSSES EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW, FROM HER OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF LOSING HER LIFE SAVINGS, THAT HE HAD NO FUCKING CLUE HOW THAT INVESTMENT ARENA WORKS.

6. BOUCHEY WAS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN NXIVM’S ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE ITS CRITICS. ALTHOUGH SHE NOW TRIES TO PRESENT HERSELF AS AN GOING ON IN NXIVM’S NUMEROUS LAWSUITS, THE REALITY IS THAT SHE WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN NXIVIM’S LAWSUIT AGAINST RICK ROSS AND A NAMED PARTY IN ITS LAWSUIT AGAINST OHARA.

7. BOUCHEY TRIED TO HAVE CRIMINAL CHARGES BROUGHT AGINST BILL LOSEY, A FORMER EMPLOYEE WHOSE “CRIME” WAS THAT HE LEFT HER FIRM BECAUSE OF HER INSISTENCE THAT ALL OF HER EMPLOYEES BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN NXIVM. SHE WAS ALSO AWARE OF NXIVM’S ATTEMPTS TO HAVE NATALIE AND OHARA CHARGED WITH CRIMES THAT THEY DIDN’T COMMIT.

8. BOUCHEY POSED AS THE BUYER OF THE FORMER ROMANO’S RESTAURANT AND THEN HEADED UP THE EFFORT TO GET THAT SITE APPROVED AS A NXIVM CENTER. THE ACTUAL BUYER, HOWEVER, WAS NXT TRUST, ANOTHER NXIVM-RELATED ENTITY WHOSE LISTED ADDRESS IS A UPS MAILBOX IN CLIFTON PARK.

9. BOUCHEY MAINTAINED HER “INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP” WITH RANIERE EVEN AFTER SHE LEARNED ABOUT ALL OF THE OTHER WOMEN HE WAS SLEEPING WITH. BY HER OWN ADMISSION, THIS WENT ON FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS.

AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY..........................

10. BOUCHEY KNEW ALL ABOUT GAELEN AND THE EXPERIMENTS BEING CONDUCTED ON HIM - AND SHE KEPT SILENT ABOUT ALL OF THAT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER SHE LEFT NXIVM.

JUST LIKE ALL OF THE GERMAN GENERALS WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS, SO TOO MUST BOUCHEY ANSWER FOR HER ACTIONS AND NON-ACTIONS DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME SHE WAS INVOLVED IN NXIVM. THAT’S CALLED JUSTICE.

WHAT WE DO AGREE ON ANONYMOUS 11:13 PM IS THAT MORE ATTENTION NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED ON THE LEADERS OF NXIVM, RANIERE AND SALZMAN. HOPEFULLY, OUR NEXT ATTORNEY GENERAL WON’T BE QUITE SO INFLUENCED BY THE BRONFMAN FAMILY’S POLITICAL DONATIONS.

What is the point of exposing Bouchey now ?
She left, she's no longer there.

Maybe I don't understand or maybe she has more damaging info on the bronfman brats. But she's probably not in with them anymore and based on what they are/have put her thru I would imagine she would spill all her beans. My theory only. Isn't this going to scare others from coming forward ?

NOw I hate Raniere more than anyone except possibly his own mother who drank herself to death and I don't think Bouchey is an angel...but how is this going to put an end to Raniere's sociopathic madness ??

Ben lives on said...

Note of legal point for Bouchey you do not have to acquiesce to the demand that this Rule 2004. Examination be held in the law office O’Connell and Aronowitz,.You can have it almost anywhere. I would also be happy to attend on your behalf just ask.

Also on small point the last notation on the Coffey motion is Scr/Bronfman/afns.doc. I would guess the Bronfmans who are really NXIVM, are still paying little Stevie and Pam

Off point, but I drove by the NXIVM compound in Halfmoon twice today. Both condos look in rather poor condition. There was no sign of life in either, but a Range Rover was in the driveway of the second. Behind #1 was an adult's bicycle standing in a rather run down backyard with a small stockade fence partially obscuring the small yard. The doorway in the front of #1 had what looked like an old pallet standing on it's side. The neighbors must be so please such slovenly residences are so close to them. I would have to say the Raniere owned/occupied properties were likely in the worst condition of any of the condos anywhere in the complex. Sad.

Susan said...

I left NXIVM in April of 2009. Yes I am one of the "NXIVM 9". My name is Susan Dones and I built and ran the PNW center for NXIVM.

I have been following NXIVM and the Bronfman legal battles. I also went back and researched as many legal documents that I can find and there seems to be a pattern to how NXIVM legal team does their cases.

I agree with John that Barbara should not met at O'Connell and Aronowitz office. It seems this would be stressful enough to go through without being in the land of Coffey.

Barbara bring your own tape and video equipment so you have your own set of recordings

I saw the small print while reading the documents and it appears that the Bronfmans are in bed with NXIVM on there overall game plan to drag Barbara through her bankruptcy.

It took Toni Foley (Toni Natalie) over 8 years to get through her bankruptcy after leaving Keith.

Joe O'Hara is still in his bankruptcy with an appeal.

Rick Ross is going on 7 or 8 years with a legal battle with NXIVM.

I think it's more about, in my opinion, the "mind fuck" with the over the top expense, the document dumps and request that the NX legal team can cause when being in a legal battle with them.

I myself just went through bankruptcy and to date NXIVM or their followers did not show up or file a suit against me in court. If they do now, it will be because I spoke up publicly on this blog and it retribution and not any real claim.

It's a risk I am taking as I agree that people should come forward and share their stories. Even at the risk of being sued by NXIVM or their followers.

There is also the chance that I will be BBQ on this blog by folks who don't understand how good Keith and Nancy (mostly Nancy in my situation) were at sucking people like me into the onion as Becca calls it.

Unlike Becca I was deep into the core of the onion but never in the "inner circle". I never slept with Keith nor did I spend much time with him.

I would like to publicly say that if anyone feels harmed by my participation in NXIVM I am sorry.

I did not know what was going on behind the "curtain" of what I call lies with the inner circle.

I did not know about the money losses or Keith sexual / mental mind games behavior. When I found out I left and closed the door on the center in Tacoma.

NXIVM moved the Tacoma center to Vancouver BC shortly after I closed the doors and a center was tried in Seattle but I heard closed within a year.

I have needed sometime to heal and now I feel emotionally able to come forward with my truth.

Don't worry Nancy I will not expose any of your trade secrets as I don't believe your behavior or the behavior of your inner circle is a trade secret.

If anyone out there wants to contact me you can email me at Susan.call2action@gmail.com

Pertaining to Raniere's reported high IQ.... the MEGA IQ test seems to be partly a scam.... ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Society

The test was originally developed by Ronald K. Hoeflin, and originally was published in the now defunct, OMNI magazine. The test is conducted UNSUPERVISED AND UNTIMED and has come under significant criticism as a bit of a sham. (OMNI Magazine was published by Bob Guccione, publisher and founder of that gem of literary crap, PENTHOUSE).

Originally, the MEGA IQ TEST could be taken by anyone with a dog eared copy of the OMNI issue and the timing would suggest that is how Raniere took the test himself, unsupervised, and graded by himself (the original publication was in 1984).

Currently, to get a copy of the test, you must send Hoeflin FIFTY BUCKS, and then he will send yuou a copy which you too can take, unsupervised, untimed and self graded.

Seems Hoeflin is running a scam comparable to Raniere's scam (although former Reagan staffer, and NH governor John Sunnunu is also listed as passing this test, along with Umma Thumann).

At the very least, Raniere's purported intelligence is highly questionable and seems to be more bullshit PR to make him more god-like to his worshipful followers.

What a effin jackass this guy is. He's a legend in his own mind.

Sorry for my poor english said...

In some ways, this Raniere guy makes me thinking of Christopher Rocancourt, the famous crook who fooled all Hollywood pretending he was a rich heirer... The bigger is the lie, the bigger they want to believe !
