Some days, it’s just not worth getting out of bed. And if you’re Keith Raniere, some days it’s just not worth getting out of your prison bunk at MDC. Yesterday was one of those days… First, came the news that Nancy Salzman, his original partner-in-crime in the NXIVM/ESP criminal enterprise, was going to plead guilty – and, in all likelihood, end up being one of the prosecution’s prime witnesses against him and his remaining co-defendants in the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al.
Next, came a filing by the prosecution that exposes more of the evidence that it plans to introduce at his trial.
The new details were set forth in a Memorandum-of-Law that the prosecution filed yesterday in support of its pending motion to admit “certain racketeering evidence” in the case.

Illegal surveillance? Where have we heard that before?
From the Raniere article:
So, what are some of these “crimes and bad acts” that the prosecution wants to tell the jury about?
Here are some of the ones listed in yesterday’s filing:
• The securing of visas and immigration status for certain non-citizens so that they could work in one or more Nxivm-affiliated organizations or become sexual partners for Raniere;
• The cash smuggling, structuring and tax evasion that were part of NXIVM/ESP’s standard financial operations;
• The “conduit contribution scheme” by which NXIVM/ESP illegally funneled campaign contributions to politicians (This was done for Hillary Clinton and likely others);
• The defendants’ use of political strategists and lobbyists to illegally gain political influence – and to use that influence to have their perceived enemies indicted for crimes they did not commit or on the basis of false or misleading information (This was done to Frank Parlato, Joe O’Hara, Toni Natalie, Barbara Bouchey and John Tighe – and, quite possibly, several others).
• The illegal surveillance of the email accounts and bank accounts of several non-members;
The amount – and the breadth – of the evidence that the prosecution has gathered in this case in truly amazing.
