Thanks for reposting this. I missed it on the first go around. It sounds very similar to what Scientologists were attempting to do back in the 70s with Operation: Snow White. It's no secret that Raniere based NXIVM on some of Scientology's principles and methodologies. His Executive Success Program was the perfect way to recruit insiders to the cult that could help cover their tracks. Something that has always bugged me was what was in it for the men who joined NXIVM? There was no obvious benefit for a man to join that I could see. Perhaps this was it?

Maybe they joined because they are pedo's

That's kinda what I am wondering.

There was a special NXIVM club for the husbands of the women, unfortunately forgot the name.

They had some 'nice' pamphlets and workshops about how women should be obedient etc. IIRC.

here's something interesting....

Long-time readers of Frank Report will remember the name Richard Mays. Sr.

He’s the former member of the Arkansas Supreme Court who was hired to clean up the mess that Keith Raniere left behind in that state when his Consumers’ Buyline business was determined to be an illegal pyramid scheme (Raniere wanted Mays to have the Arkansas Attorney General issue him a letter-of-exoneration regarding the Consumers’ Buyline investigation in that state).

He’s also the guy who, along with former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Hershberger, personally met with Albany County District Attorney David Soares and convinced him to bring bogus criminal charges against former NXIVM consultant Joe O’Hara (Those charges were tossed at the initial hearing on the case).

And let’s not forget that Mays, Sr. is also the guy who tried to coerce U.S. Airlines into paying an exorbitant amount to NXIVM President Nancy Salzman after she carelessly left her laptop behind when she disembarked from a flight in Albany, NY.

He addition to serving as an influence peddler for the NXIVM/ESP cult, Richard Mays, Sr. also got his daughter heavily involved in taking courses under the tutelage of Salzman and Raniere.

He also solicited political donations from Clare Bronfman and Sara Bronfman-Igtet – and other NXIVM members – for his old pals from Little Rock, AR, Hillary Clinton, and Mike Huckabee.

Mays, Sr. also made several videotapes in which he extolled the wonderfulness of Raniere.

It is not known if any of those were seized by the F.B.I. when they raided Nancy Salzman’s home in March 2018.

Hmm. That might be worth a post of its own. Thank you.
