    Move Over R. Kelly (Allison Mack cult arrest)

    this popped up on my MSN feed and lol-ed when I read the article...

    http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.3945664

    Actress Allison Mack, who played Clark Kent’s best friend on TV’s “Smallville,” was arrested Friday for her starring role in a cult that turned women into sex slaves.

    The 35-year-old Mack served as an aggressive recruiter of female candidates for a secret society known as “DOS,” led by her co-defendant and cult leader Keith Raniere, officials said.

    According to court documents, Mack — who ranked just below Raniere in the cult hierarchy — required the slaves under her control to engage in sexual activity with him at their upstate base.

    Mack turned over naked photos of her slaves to Raniere and knew how he enjoyed sex with “multiple young women,” according to a detention letter filed by the feds.
    In a quid-pro-quo for serving as Raniere’s pimp, Mack received “financial and other benefits” from the cult leader, authorities charged.

    “Today we announce an additional arrest ... in a case that brought to life an inconceivable crime,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney.

    The slaves were also required to strip naked and succumb to a ritual where each was branded near the pelvis with a symbol incorporating Raniere’s initials, officials said.
    During those “ceremonies,” court papers said, Mack placed her hands on the weeping slaves' chests while instructing the women to “feel the pain ... think of (their) master.”
    Mack, if convicted on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy, faces 15 years to life in prison.

    The Germany-born actress debuted in the part of Chloe Sullivan on “Smallville” in October 2001, staying around for its 10-season run on the WB/CW network.

    She also did four years on the FX sictom “Wilfred” opposite star Elijah Wood.

    The cult endured as an ongoing extortion plot, with the women forced to follow Raniere’s directions after revealing “highly damaging information about themselves or family members,” authorities charged.

    Raniere threatened to use the information against the women unless they went along with the self-serving tenets of his bizarre society.

    Raniere, 57, who lived outside Albany, received financing for his twisted operation from Clare Bronfman, an heir to the Seagram’s liquor fortune, according to authorities. He was jailed pending a bail hearing next Friday.

    He was arrested March 25 in Mexico and returned to the United States for prosecution.

    How about the media's silence on this, it just never ends. This should be a huge story spanning months but it's likely you never heard of this til yesterday.

    All kinds of videos w Mack and the leader of the cult. I find the comment at the bottom interesting. She's clearly a victim imo https://artvoice.com/2018/04/18/vide.../#.Wto3BtPwbVo

    Here's a look at the Bronfman girls role titled
    After Allison Mack, will sex trafficker, Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman be indicted next?

    Clare and Sara Bronfman’s structuring of the Ethical Science Foundation, and management of NXIVM are intertwined into the forced labor and human trafficking.

    Clare Bronfman testified she ran the operations of NXIVM.

    This doesn’t even broach money laundering and the numerous tax crimes the Bronfmans committed.
    https://artvoice.com/2018/04/20/alli...next-indicted/

    Will they really be this blatant about the two tiered justice system i frequently mention, I think so. My guess is the Bronfman girls will at most get a fine and maybe get booked and released w an attorney present while Mack faces 15 to life.

    This arts and voice seems to be the main outlet covering this story, more links in each page.

    Weird story. Some actress from battlestar galactica was also in on it and the Smallville actress was introduced to the cult by some other Smallville actor.

    The cult leader was picked up few months ago and the Smallville actress was arrested few days ago for her part.

    Story should get juicier. All around quality entertainment.

    Wow, this situation has been known for at least 7 1/2 years.

    Look at this November 2010 article about the Seagram heiress funding this cult: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2...ronfman-201011

    Who is Allison Mack, how is the ex-Smallville star linked to Keith Raniere and the NXIVM ‘sex cult’ and when was she arrested?
    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/487698...ville-actress/

    The cult is called DOS, believed to be short for "dominus obsequious sororium" - Latin for the "master over the slave women", and is the dark side of so-called "self-help" group NXIVM, according to Frank Partlato, the group's former publicist.
    On April 20, Mack pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and forced labour.

    Keith Raniere, the leader of the cult that masquerades as a self- help group, was arraigned on the same charges last month.

    As well as being charged with sex trafficking he has also been accused of conspiracy to commit forced labour.

    Mack was Raniere’s direct “slave” and had a sexual relationship with him - but also acted as a “master” to other slaves, according to the criminal complaint.
    The actress is allegedly a "master" in the cult and must obey orders from leader Raniere.

    She allegedly has to find bed partners for him, run 40 miles a week and keep a strict diet to stay as skinny as possible.
    The ex-publicist for the 'cult' has claimed Allison was allegedly in charge of recruiting new women into NXIVM.
    Writing in a blog post on his personal website, Frank Parlato claimed that Allison even started branding her initials on other women.
    He claims: "Mack, the second in command of DOS – which stands for Dominus Obsequious Sororium (translating to 'the slave women under the master') – reportedly has Raniere’s initials branded on her pubic region.
    "And she has her own initials, along with Raniere’s, branded on dozens of other women.
    "She used her celebrity status to persuade women into sending Raniere graphic nude pictures and confessions to use as blackmail and used her own home to have them branded with a hot iron by physician Dr Danielle Roberts, one of the slave women of Mack and Raniere."
    Honestly, she is the last person I would suspect of being a part of a cult. Too sweet and innocent looking.

    She has one move, testify against the 57 year old ringleader Keith Raniere or face 10 to 20 years in prison.

    I think I was briefly watching that channel the other day while at an independent truck stop in Idaho. The show that was on featured people in various countries joyfully participating in acitivities together supposedly meant to promote peace, love, and self-improvement. It had some Kumbuya-type slogan on blue tee shirts and hats, and everyone was having a great time being all helpful and affirming to each other. Then I noticed in the lower right hand corner of the image/screen in smaller print “Scientology”. Didn’t realize it might be an entire channel, just a program. But owning the channel guarantees that they control the content and can broadcast their propaganda unimpeded others.

    And damn! Those Scientoggers were really turning on the bullshit with these people! They might end up helping some of thr people for a little while, but you know it’s going to end badly for a number of them. Or those who watch these shows and think how wonderful that fucked up cult really is.

    With the exception of whatever shit Donald Trump says, this story about Allison Mack and this sex cult is story of the year.

    I'm sure an oscar-award winning movie starring Jennifer Lawrence as Allison Mack is already being planned.

    Smallville star Allison Mack 'forced her starved and branded Nxivm slaves to have sex with leader Keith Raniere, who told harem they were connected by his sperm - and declared Oprah to be 'not ethical' because she is 'fat'

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...h-Raniere.html

    Keith Raniere ordered the female sex slaves in Nxivm to stay thin by consuming only 900 calories each day reports The Hollywood Reporter

    Smallville star Allison Mack oversaw that the women did this, while also branding them and making sure their pubic hair was grown out for Raniere

    A former member of Nexivm said that if Raniere cannot get an erection he will often blame the woman he is with, saying that her weight had turned him off

    Mack and Raniere have both been arraigned on federal charges including two counts of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit forced labor

    The two are facing life in prison and Raniere has been denied bail by the court, with more indictments to come according to prosecutors

    Raniere has entered a plea of not guilty on all charges, while Mack did not enter a formal plea yet as she is still negotiating a possible plea deal


    Clare and Sara Bronfman, the heirs to a billion dollar liquor fortune, helped with this, flying her private. They have allegedly given Nxivm $150 million over the past two decades.
    Wow, I wonder how many millions of dollars Daniel Negreanu has given Choice Center over the years?

    Has anyone actually looked into this story and what Keith Raniere was doing? He not only took all their money and used these jewesses as sex doys, he successfully convinced them that the scumbag father was holohoax fraudster and used sources like David Irving to persuade them that their father a Jew lair/theif trying to exploit Euros and AMericans based on phony guilt. Keith Ranere is a fucking legend in terms of out Jewishing the Jew. Allison Mack was another Jewess he managed to use as a se slave and getting her to wake up to the perfidy of her own tribe. LEGEND.
    unverified quote fr pol.

    Sooo Ranierre's the innocent fall guy and Mack used her beauty to manipulate him, figures jk.
    Should of known, look who's in jail w no hope of getting out.\

    Seagram's heiress used family fortune to finance sex cult: feds

    https://nypost.com/2018/07/24/seagra...sex-cult-feds/

    Seagram’s liquor heiress Clare Bronfman used her family fortune to buy an entire island, the private plane to get there — and, the feds say, to bankroll a sex cult.

    On Tuesday, the 39-year-old — who is worth roughly $200 million — was busted on racketeering charges for her role in running Nxivm, alongside three other high-ranking members.

    The arrests are part of an ongoing federal investigation into the group’s leader Keith Raniere and his right-hand woman, former ​”Smallville​”​ star Allison Mack.

    Raniere and Mack are charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy for allegedly coercing women into joining a secretive master-slave society within Nxivm — where “slaves” were forced to pleasure Raniere, have his initials permanently branded onto their skin and perform free labor.

    In Brooklyn federal court Tuesday, a gaunt Bronfman pleaded not guilty to allegations she conspired with Raniere to steal email passwords from his “perceived enemies,” racked up charges on the credit card of his dead ex-girlfriend and laundered money to help a non-citizen fraudulently gain entry to the US.

    ​Bronfman was part of an “inner circle” of loyalists who “committed a broad range of serious crimes from identity theft and obstruction of justice to sex trafficking, all to promote and protect Raniere and NXIVM,” U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue said in a statement.

    ​She faces up to 20 years behind bars if found guilty — a stunning change in circumstances for a woman who could have had anything in the world she wanted.

    Bronfman and her older sister Sara are the daughters of late Canadian billionaire Edgar Bronfman Sr. and a British barmaid-turned-socialite 20 years his junior. She was his third of four wives — and they were the youngest of his seven kids.

    Backed by hefty trust funds, party girl Sara spent her twenties flitting around the globe trying to find herself while the more serious Clare pursued a career as an elite equestrian show jumper.

    Sara was first to fall into Nxivm’s thrall, taking one of its self-help workshops in 2002 at age 25, when a marriage to an Irish jockey fell apart after seven months, according to a Macleans report.

    She soon roped in Clare, then 23, who hoped the life coaching organization could help her in her quest for a spot on the US Olympic equestrian team.

    Instead, they became full-time devotees of Raniere — known as “Vanguard” in the organization, where followers earn colored sashes as they coughed up more money to ascend the ranks.

    “Coming from a family where I’ve never had to earn anything before in my life, [it] was a very, very moving experience for me to be awarded this yellow sash. It was the first thing that I had earned on just my merits,” Sara Bronfman explained in a 2003 Forbes article.

    Clare made it to the Olympic trials in 2004, but gave up on horse riding after Raniere told her she had better things to do with her time, an insider told Vanity Fair.

    At first, the sisters convinced their elderly dad to take Nxivm’s $10,000 “VIP” course — but he soon soured on the organization, and became estranged from his daughters, when he heard Clare had lent Nxivm $2 million, according to a Vanity Fair report.

    “I think it’s a cult,” he later told Forbes.

    The sisters quickly ascended to the top of the Albany-based organization — thanks more to their bank balances more than any business acumen — and that $2 million had ballooned into as much as $150 million by 2010, including $66 million Raniere lost betting in the commodities market and $11 million on a private jet, according to Vanity Fair.

    Sara eventually married a wealthy Libyan businessman, moved abroad with him and had kids — but Clare has remained in Raniere’s inner circle.

    Nxivm’s intense self-improvement classes had, at one point, earned it thousands of adherents, including some with Hollywood ties. They included Nicki Clyne, an actress who appeared on “Battlestar Galactica”; Bronfman’s sister Sara Bronfman; a son of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari; and India Oxenberg, a daughter of “Dynasty” actress Catherine Oxenberg.

    But Nxivm expanded well beyond its beginnings as a merely sketchy executive self-help organization.​ Indeed, from its beginnings in the late 1990s, prosecutors allege that Raniere kept “a rotating group of 15 to 20 women” from the group as his personal harem.

    ​​But in 2015, the​ feds allege​,​ things got seriously twisted when he and Mack created a secret master-slave “sorority” within Nxivm called “The Vow” or “DOS,” prosecutors allege.

    Mack duped women from Nxivm into joining and handing over damaging collateral by saying it was a women’s empowerment group — then groomed them as slaves for Raniere.

    Clare Bronfman says she was never in the society, but prosecutors say she still aided Raniere in his criminal dealings by, among other things, continuing to dip into the $8 million bank account of one of Raniere’s former lovers after she died of cancer last year.

    That woman, Pamela Cafritz, was the daughter of DC A-listers William and Buffy Cafritz.

    “Keith Raniere’s girlfriend had been paying for his expenses, and when she died they kept using the card for expenses,” Bronfman’s defense attorney, Susan Necheles, said in court Tuesday.

    Necheles — a high powered lawyer who, among others, has represented disgraced Mayor de Blasio donor Jona Rechnitz — added that the allegations about stealing passwords is a decade old.

    “She had been having a fight with her father, and allegedly had someone break into her father’s computer,” said Necheles.

    The judge set a stunning $100 million bail — secured against $50 million of her assets — and placed Bronfman on house arrest, agreeing with prosecutors that she is a significant flight risk thanks to her huge wealth, private jet and an island she part-owns in Fiji.

    She’s also forbidden from contact with other members of the cult until details of the bail are finalized Friday.

    When Necheles objected, given her friends are also Nxivm members, Judge Nicholas Garaufis snapped.

    “Doesn’t she have Netflix?” he responded irritably. “Let her watch Netflix between now and Friday.”

    “If you’re telling me she can’t be staying away from people who are part of this alleged criminal organization for a couple days, maybe I’m making the wrong decision.”

    One of the co-signers of the bail is Sara Bronfman — who will have to fly back from where she now lives in France by Friday. When Necheles said that might be tough, given she has two young kids, Garaufis said too bad.

    “She can manage,” he snapped. “Tell her she can bring the kids to New York. They can go see a play — make suggestions.”

    ​​Garaufis, looking over the financial documents to support her bail application, asked, “Her Fiji properties are listed at $40 million?”

    “It’s an island,” Bronfman’s attorney explained.

    “She bought an Island?” Garaufis marveled.

    “It’s a resort she’s developing in Fiji,” Necheles said. “$47,000,000 is what she paid for it.”

    Also arrested Tuesday was the cult’s co-founder, Nancy Salzman, her daughter Lauren, and Kathy Russel, Nxivm’s longtime bookkeeper, for their alleged roles in aiding Raniere.

    Lauren — who’s been accused by former “slaves” of being one of the “masters” in the group — is alleged to have committed forced labor, extortion and wire fraud.

    Prosecutors allege that she kept a former sexual partner of Raniere’s confined to a room for two years after the woman developed feelings for another man, threatening to dump her in Mexico with no ID if she didn’t comply.

    Lauren eventually made good on the threats, they claim.

    All three were arraigned in Albany, where they pleaded not guilty.

    Inside Nxivm leader Keith Raniere’s twisted sex games with alleged top slaves

    https://nypost.com/2019/05/20/inside...ed-top-slaves/

    Nxivm’s accused cult leader played twisted sex games with his top female lieutenants — and even planned to build a basement dungeon to cage some of them, a former disciple testified Monday.

    Supposed self-help guru Keith Raniere’s sick methods of control included having his female “slave masters’’ whipped when he thought they transgressed and viciously paddling them with a rubber-spiked sex toy, Lauren Salzman said in Brooklyn federal court.

    Meanwhile, Raniere was busy plotting to build a dungeon in a home the group bought in upstate Waterford — while one of his top lieutenants was ordering “BDSM sex-torture things … handcuffs, nipple clamps … all things that were sexual in nature,’’ said Salzman, 42.

    “They were making a dungeon in the basement. There would be a cage for the people who were most committed to growth,’’ Salzman, a onetime “slave master’’ and longtime lover of Raniere, said she was told by the Svengali and a top sidekick, Daniela Padilla Bergeron.

    Raniere had sex with seven of the eight members of his all-female inner circle, known as DOS — including TV’s “Smallville” actress Allison Mack and her now-wife, Nicki Clyne, Salzman said.

    He also coerced some of them to have threesomes with him, including Salzman and Mack, the witness said.


    The only one he didn’t have sex with was Rosa Laura Junco, Salzman said. She didn’t explain why.

    Testifying at Raniere’s sex-trafficking trial, Salzman, who has already copped a plea, said that after the group of women shed their clothes for a photo before every meeting, the punishment began.

    “We would take the naked picture, and everyone would take the number of whips commensurate with our failures,’’ she said.

    Raniere “would call in” to make sure people were being hit hard enough, Salzman said.

    He was very specific about the “wrist flick’’ and making sure it was done to inflict the most pain, she said.

    The understanding with the paddling was that “it should really hurt,’’ Salzman said.

    “We were to paddle each other.”

    At times, though, Raniere would grab the spiked sex paddle himself to deliver the blows, she said.

    “Daniela told me she had been paddled by Keith’’ and that it was excruciating, the witness said.

    One time, Raniere accused Daniela of being “prideful,’’ Salzman said, “and she was on the floor, and he kicked her.

    “These things began to get scary.’’

    Salzman said that while it didn’t appear the dungeon was ever built, two cages had been ordered from a sex toy manufacturer in 2017. One of them was part of a $900 order that included the studded paddle and a “puppy trainer’’ perfect for “naughty slaves,’’ another witness testified last week.

    Salzman said she was worried that she was going to eventually be asked to get in the dungeon cage.

    She said the idea was that “you were just in there till they let you out. It could be 10 minutes. It could be an hour. it could be days.’’

    “What I imagined was being there and having to go to the bathroom.’’

    She said the idea seemed to be that of “complete humiliation.’’

    If that was the goal, Raniere only allegedly reinforced it by demanding troves of photos of his women’s private parts.

    “He looked at a picture specifically of my vagina and said he wanted to know why it looked groomed,’’ Salzman said.

    “We were taking naked pictures — up-close vagina pictures — three times a week. We were running out of ideas as to what to do’’ to keep Raniere satisfied.

    She said that at one point, the sick guru suggested they stage crimes, such as breaking into someone’s house and stealing things.

    Mack was convicted (she pled guilty), but hasn't been sentenced yet, despite the conviction being 13 months ago.

    Clare Bronfman (the Seagram heiress) was also convicted, and then sentenced to 7 years earlier this month, which was ABOVE the maximum recommended sentence. She is appealing it.

    This Bronfman chick was really obnoxious, apparently spending tons of money bankrolling frivolous lawsuits against people attempting to publicize the cult's abuse. People trying to do this got buried in legal paperwork and expensive defenses. It's also said that she was the main one bankrolling this cult's operation.

    The cult leader Rainere got 120 years, which is effectively a life sentence. That was just handed down yesterday.

    If you're looking to watch a documentary about NXIVM there are two different documentary series currently available. One is called "The Vow" (HBO) which has been widely panned. I started watching the first episode and it is super boring. It's almost sympathetic to the cult.

    The other one is called "Seduced" (Starz) which is only four episodes. The first two episodes are pretty good. I would recommend this one.
