What is NXIVM (pronounced nek-see-um)? NXIVM was started in 1998 in the upstate NY area by disgraced multi-level-marketer Keith Raniere and bills itself as an organization for personal development that trains people in "human empowerment". In March 2018, Raniere and five of his top inner-circle were indicted by Federal authorities on a variety of charges related to racketeering, conspiracy, money-laundering, sex offenses, human trafficking, and more. The five other women have all pleaded out around April, leaving Raniere as the only person at the jury trial that started on May 7th. Raniere and his top lieutenants have long, deep ties to many NY politicians including Clinton, Gillibrand, Cuomo, and others. The news media is barely reporting this story for obvious reasons. Previous NXIVM updates can be found on my homepage Here.
Former DOS member Nicole took the stand Thursday. Her last name is not being made public. Note - based on my research, I have determined that Nicole is NOT Nicki Clyne. I will stop spreading that rumor. Nicole is a 31 year old actress who was introduced to NXIVM by actor Mark Hildreth, and coached by Allison Mack. Nicole testified yesterday and today that she had moved from L.A. to NY and met actor Hildreth, who introduced her to some NXIVM classes. As her coach, Allison recruited her into DOS, Raniere's slave ring. Nicole was in DOS a little over a year. Her testimony lays out how she was initially drawn to NXIVM, how she was looking for something empowering and joined DOS. Once in DOS, with her "collateral" in Allison Mack's (and Raniere's) hands - she was trapped. Her initial collateral was writing a letter that falsely accused family members of sexual crimes, and a sex tape. Here is a long discussion of her testimony Thursday afternoon and Friday morning [Warning: explicit sexual descriptions in latter part of article]. She found Raniere creepy and called his "smartest man" talk "bulls--t" - which had the court, the jury, and even the judge laughing. After a couple introductory encounters with Keith, she was blindfolded and led by him to a room somewhere, stripped, tied to a table, and had a sex act performed on her by an unknown (but now revealed) person.
The more we find out about Raniere, the worse he gets. Nicole testified about her 'sexual relationship' with Raniere. Here's a less tawdry account from the NY Post. Suffice it to say, rumors of Raniere's sexual prowess are greatly exaggerated.
