In the hours preceding Raniere's court appearance in Texas, FBI agents spent several hours combing through the Saratoga County residence of NXIVM's co-founder and president, Nancy Salzman.
The FBI's raid of Salzman's residence signaled a wider criminal investigation of the secretive organization than just the sex-trafficking allegations that led to the arrest this week of its longtime leader.
A former NXIVM associate, Kristen M. Keeffe, who defected from the organization several years ago, alleged in 2015 that large amounts of cash used to be stored in a safe at Salzman's residence.
...Salzman has been an influential figure in the organization since it was set up more than two decades ago. She also was involved in some of the **medical research studies **that were performed by a doctor associated with NXIVM, Brandon B. Porter.

Been watching this cult ever since I found out that Allison Mack of Smallville fame was in it. They apparently brand women with a strange symbol near their pubic area and force them into sexual slavery. They have to maintain a certain weight, run so many miles a day, and live on like 1000 calories or something. I don't think there's a lot of friendship involved but you know, I'm just an outsider. You used to be able to find Mack talking about the cult on YouTube, and also interviewing Raniere. And it was so gross. She sounded brainwashed FOR SURE. All gushy and rambling like he was the second coming of Christ. I hope they arrest all the perps, Mack included. She was high in the ranks.

Lmao! I was waiting for this to hit major news outlets to verify. It's all true! Oh happy day! There's a video of her (mack) looking shocked as Raniere is arrested by Mexican authorities. You're next, idiota. 😂 But it's sad too because now Smallvile is ruined for me. Adieu, Chloe. Hello, sex trafficking villainness. 😑
think- ago
LOL.
