Sometimes the government gets things right. As I first reported former NXIVM advisor Joe OHara has filed a multi-count, multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere and a host of other cult-related people and entities.
Now comes word that O’Hara has received approval from the local U.S. District Court to proceed in forma pauperis, which means, among other things, that he won’t have to pay any filing fees as the lawsuit moves forward – and that the U.S. Marshall’s Office will be responsible for serving all of the named defendants in the lawsuit.
Of course NXIVM attorneys strenuously objected to O’Hara being granted forma pauperis status but to no avail. I find it richly ironic that NXIVM objects to a man being granted pauper status, a status that their very actions caused in the first place. Now the very government agents that Raniere professes to hate to his followers will be acting on the behalf of his greatest protagonist. Fucking sweet.
The list of NXIVM members that have already been named as individual defendants and that will soon be served by the U.S. Marshal's includes the following: Nancy Salzman a/k/a Prefect , who serves as the ceremonial President of NXIVM; Sara Bronfman,HERE who will be getting married to Basit Igit in a few months and who still aspires to be a leader in the rebuilding of Libya.Clare Bronfman,HERE who is reportedly running low on cash and seeking financial assistance from other Bronfman family members to help pay the cult’s staggering legal bills; and Kristin Keeffe,HERE the self-proclaimed baby momma of Gaelen, the 5-6 old boy who is reportedly being raised by several illegal immigrants in accordance with Raniere’s “theories” about child development And O’Hara has already indicated that he expects to be adding to that list in the near future.
Of course, the best part of the O’Hara’s lawsuit (at least in my opinion) is that he has also included several of NXIVM’s lawyers and their law firms as named defendants. What kind of chaos and back-stabbing this may cause remains to be seen but you just have to love the thought of what the first court hearing is going to look like with so many pissed off attorneys crowded around the defense table!
Steve "the man" Coffey HERE
Pam Nichols AKA "Lipo Pam" HERE
O’Connell and Aronowitz HERE
William Savino AKA "The Trutle" HERE
And let’s not forget two of the other prominent defendants that have already been named in O'Hara’s lawsuit: the County of Albany and its current District Attorney, P. David Soares,HERE who, as it turns out, has apparently used several aliases over the years to cover up his own brushes with the legal system: See HERE and HERE for more info on that matter. Will Albany County cough up the funds to pay for a private attorney to defend Soares, the only known District Attorney in the State of New York who has never appeared as an attorney in a court of law? Or will it take the position that Soares’ involvement with NXIVM was outside the scope of his office and force him to hire his own attorney?
Meanwhile, the Bronfman brats have been attempting to re-open the lawsuit that they and several other NXIVM members first brought against O'Hara back in August 2005 and which was settled back in 2007. But that move may have been stymied when the local District Court decided to combine the Bronfmans’ claims against O'Hara with his new lawsuit. (See HERE for the court’s ruling on that matter).
So stay tuned folks because this latest edition of David v. Goliath looks like it’s going to get real interesting real soon. Especially if some of the rumors about the case that are currently circulating prove to be true. (Be patient, loyal readers, for all will be revealed in the near future).
And don't forget ESPIANS the NXIVM Festival of Flowers is May 17 - May 20, 2012 At the NXIVM cult club Route 9 Clifton Park.
I hear Keith might even be there but I bet he doesn't introduce his latest little plaything to the flock. I hear this one is over 18. No word if baby mama and whack job Kristen Keefe approves.

Ouch! I don't think we'll be seeing any pictures of John shaking hands with Keith anytime soon. The Dalai Lama?...maybe. But IX-nay on the EITH-kay.
Thanks, JT. I was starting to believe they would slither out of the O'Hara lawsuit somehow as few developments have been shared in quite some time. It seemed as though they were just merrily recruiting and convening new blood (Ethical Arts, Jness, etc) without a care in the world. I hope that O'Hara prevails and that criminal charges follow on the heels of this civil case.
Greatly appreciate all the reporting you have done. Wish the story was more widespread to once and for all turn up the media heat and discredit this unethical tribe of con artists.
How come the smartest man in the world's MLM businesses keep failing?
I feel sorry for the women who sleep with this clown. Sex is a game of tennis to him, the latter I'm sure he sucks at, and the former I wouldn't care to know about his prowess, or lack thereof. That's how much he "values" you ladies.
JT the first affadavit was signed 4/2/12 and states something about 21 days which is today. Does that mean KR and crew would be served today?
I assume they will be served with subpeonas?
Many things here have reasons,some revealed some not
PS the pdf document you link to for Kristin Keeffe is actually Sara's. And what the fuck is Clare Bronfman doing with a listed address of Delanson NY? Thought she had residence in Clifton Park still.
Thank you so much for keeping us all informed... I pray that justice prevails!!
Will each NXIVM defendant have to get their own attorney? If so, there's going to be more than 3 dozen attorneys crowded around the defense table. How funny will that be?
And what, if anything, is going on with the lawsuits that NXIVM and the Bronfman brats have pending against Bouchey?
What about the Vancouver centre?
Who is doing anything about what is going on there?
Word on the street is that it is growing in leaps and bounds.
This is the website for the NXIVM Vancouver, i.e. ESP Vancouver:
http://espvancouver.com/
The introductory classes are led by an actress named Sarah Edmondson. Kristen Kreuk was also a coach teaching a class at one point.
On that website is a link to NXIVM Los Angeles, i.e. ESP Los Angeles:
http://esplosangeles.com/
The introductory classes are led by Mark Vicente.
Making a living in the entertainment industry can be difficult, as it is a highly competitive industry. Most likely, these two coaches of NXIVM, Sarah and Mark have their primary source of income obtained from their work in NXIVM. They probably focus on recruiting uneducated, naive young people trying to make it into the entertainment industry with promises of joy and success and all sorts of other vague bull shit.
Any truth to the rumor the cult has picked up another home on the same street as Nancy's Halfmoon residence?
The people who remain in this cult are a bunch of fucking idiots. That is all.
vanfat will run like a crying baby when they attempt to serve him?
He is able to leap tall yard Gnomes ya know.
I hope Joe O'Hara wins his case against this cult and their slick willy lawyers
Wow-this is such great news!! Thanks JT (J=justice) for keeping us all informed on the legal front. Maybe the judges are gettin smarter about putting the ever growing manure pile of data together.
Fees to attend Level 1, 2, and 3 intensives at least 3 times each =$100,000+ (but could be more if you are a "person of influence" which is their code for having $$$ resources).
Videotape of Keith Vanloaded and his the minions being served this week-PRICELESS!
I saw this article today which reminded me of NXIVM's leader:

Yes, they have purchased another home next to Nancy. In fact 2 doors away.
Too bad your older topics don't get comments, once you publish a new one.
You had a string of good ones for a while.
Thanks
Yes you are right but news comes up almost daily and I try to keep it fresh
