In a recent editorial, the Albany Times Union editor Rex Smith called Keith Raniere, “an egomaniacal flimflam man ”
There is another public service that Smith and the Times Union can do for the people of Saratoga and Albany counties.
Rex Smith – for years he was the editor overseeing stories about Keith Raniere – and he had to pretty careful in vetting them because of the litigious nature of the Bronfman-funded Nxivm.
They can try – through their reporting and editorials – to convince the New York State Attorney General’s office to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute the remaining members of NXIVM and the local officials who may have committed crimes on NXIVM’S behalf.
The NXIVM racketeering enterprise only involves a limited number of Federal crimes. NXIVM committed numerous state crimes.
Any federal plea deal does not protect members of the cult, even the defendants who cut plea bargains, from being prosecuted for state crimes. Many of the charges in the federal indictment have corresponding crimes under New York State law.
Crimes like sex trafficking, blackmail and extortion are illegal under state law and federal plea bargains do not protect defendants from being prosecuted in state court.
In the “Music Man,” flimflam man Harold Hill convinced people to buy band instruments, not join a cult.In Albany, flimflam man, Keith Alan Raniere convinced hundreds of women to join his cult.

Clare Bronfman, Nancy Salzman, Allison Mack and Lauren Salzman might learn that New York does not tolerate massive criminal conspiracies. Double jeopardy does not protect these defendants or others from being prosecuted in New York state for similar state crimes.
New York has its own state version of the federal RICO law. In New York, it is called Enterprise Corruption. Statute: New York Penal Code Article 460, et seq.
Statutory Definition of Enterprise Corruption: A person is guilty of enterprise corruption when, having knowledge of the existence of a “criminal enterprise” and the nature of its activities, and being employed by or associated with such enterprise, he or she: Intentionally conducts or participates in the affairs of an enterprise by participating in a pattern of criminal activity; Intentionally acquires or maintains an interest in or control of an enterprise by participating in a pattern of criminal activity; or Participates in a pattern of criminal activity and knowingly invests any proceeds derived from that conduct, or any proceeds derived from the investment or use of those proceeds, in an enterprise.
The need for a special prosecutor is evident since the possibility exists that some state and local law enforcement officials and members of the judiciary may have been involved in illegally aiding and abetting the Nxivm enterprise. There may be conflicts and of course the possibility that the actual criminals might be investigating themselves.
Isn’t it time to push forward this idea of a special prosecutor? Perhaps the Times Union will take the lead, as they have done for years in reporting on the criminal enterprise known as Nxivm – and its leader Keith Raniere.
