Family Of Seagram's Liquor Heiress Nabbed Nn NXIVMSsex Cult Arrest Pays Her $100M Bond
Fox News ^ | 07/27/18 | By Emily Saul, Ruth Brown

Posted on 07/27/2018 7:39:58 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Seagram’s liquor heiress Clare Bronfman wept in court Friday as family members signed on to pay her whopping $100 million bond, so she can stay out of jail while awaiting trial for her role in an upstate sex-slave cult.

Dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and baggy slacks, a blubbering Bronfman, 39, wiped tears from under her glasses as Brooklyn federal court Judge Nicholas Garaufis reminded her mom and brother in law that they’re there to keep her honest.

“I think she knows the responsibility as well,” said Basit Igtet, a Libyan entrepreneur who is married to Bronfman’s sister, Sara.

“She appreciates what we have taken on for her.”

Bronfman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly helping Nxivm cult leader Keith Raniere by stealing the email passwords of his “perceived enemies,” racking up charges on his dead ex-girlfriend’s credit card, committing identity theft and laundering money.

Garaufis set the sky-hail bond — and ordered Bronfman to be kept on home detention with an ankle monitor — after prosecutors argued the wealthy scion is worth roughly $200 million, owns an island in Fiji and has access to a private jet.

Her sister Sara — a former devout Nxivm member herself — was supposed to co-sign the bond, but couldn’t travel on short notice from her home in France because she’s nursing a new child, so Igtet came instead, defense attorney Susan Necheles said.

“Their relationship has been strained but he is married to Miss Bronfman’s sister and is committed to her,” said Necheles.

There must be a provision for paying the State directly, if paid in full.

Seriously, you are not paying attention. Google Huma Abedin intervening in Haiti for the woman that was kidnapping kids in the Dominican Republic. She was arrested smuggling these kids to Haiti to be spirited out of the country to god knows where to do god knows what with them. Huma on behalf of Hillary when she was SOS intervened to get this woman released. There is a ton more on this, but you need to educate yourself. Or Hillay burying the pedophile scandal in the State Dept. Time to wake up.

I’m not entirely sure of the laws in every state, but I have known of people who were willing and able to post the entire amount themselves. They were not allowed to do that. I think the state/feds want the involvement of a bonding outfit which has “bounty hunters” readily available to go after those who skip out.

Judging her by her photo, I can almost imagine her wearing a dominatrix costume and wielding a jockey’s riding crop.

Same here. I buy the cheap stuff unless I’m drinking it on the rocks or straight up. Too bad We can’t get a Worldwide boycott going on them.

Seagrams’s was foolishly sold off by the Brofman heir, Edgar Jr., over a dozen years ago so that he could become a Hollywood mogul. With the billions from the sale, he bought control of Universal Pictures which proved to be a disaster.

Major Seagrams brands like Crown Royal are part of Diageo of Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker fame, others went to Pernod Richard, French drinks behemoth.

She may not be “doing it” but she is in the middle of the trafficking.

There are literally reams of information out there to substantiate my position. I wish I could detail them all out for you but I have literally spent hundreds of hours in the past two years educating myself and unfortunately do not have time in my life to impart even the most basic overview to you. Please do your own research an become informed.
