Ep 9: Inside the Trial
New ep!!!
So the head of the sex cult, Keith Raniere, initially said he had nothing to do with DOS/ sex cult, but now his lawyer is saying he is the head of DOS. He’s claiming he was the head of it, “to empower women.”
Yeahhhh. By telling women to gather blackmail photos/ material of other women...
It’s too bad this podcast couldn’t get Mark Vicente, (Raniere’s only male friend) who was high up In NXIVM. Apparently he got suspicious when women appeared “Skeletal.” He asked Keith if he was pushing them too hard. They look malnourished. When the response was “I’m trying to break them/ they still get their period” Vicente started asking women to tell him if there’s a secret subset of NXIVM - DOS.
The guys a hero. He immediately resigned. Obtained blackmail evidence. Went to FBI and is the whistleblower who began ending the sex slavery.
The podcast says only a few women are actually testifying. The court is only revealing the women’s names or first initial. These people are: scared, embarrassed, and ashamed. If Vicente didn’t start wondering, “is my boss/ friend a psycho’ this could be going on - probably indefinitely.
They said they’re only 3 days in and six weeks of testimony scheduled. So there’s wayyyy more to this.
