Family Of Seagram's Liquor Heiress Nabbed Nn NXIVMSsex Cult Arrest Pays Her $100M Bond
Fox News ^ | 07/27/18 | By Emily Saul, Ruth Brown

Posted on 07/27/2018 7:39:58 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Seagram’s liquor heiress Clare Bronfman wept in court Friday as family members signed on to pay her whopping $100 million bond, so she can stay out of jail while awaiting trial for her role in an upstate sex-slave cult.

Dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and baggy slacks, a blubbering Bronfman, 39, wiped tears from under her glasses as Brooklyn federal court Judge Nicholas Garaufis reminded her mom and brother in law that they’re there to keep her honest.

“I think she knows the responsibility as well,” said Basit Igtet, a Libyan entrepreneur who is married to Bronfman’s sister, Sara.

“She appreciates what we have taken on for her.”

Bronfman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly helping Nxivm cult leader Keith Raniere by stealing the email passwords of his “perceived enemies,” racking up charges on his dead ex-girlfriend’s credit card, committing identity theft and laundering money.

Garaufis set the sky-hail bond — and ordered Bronfman to be kept on home detention with an ankle monitor — after prosecutors argued the wealthy scion is worth roughly $200 million, owns an island in Fiji and has access to a private jet.

Her sister Sara — a former devout Nxivm member herself — was supposed to co-sign the bond, but couldn’t travel on short notice from her home in France because she’s nursing a new child, so Igtet came instead, defense attorney Susan Necheles said.

“Their relationship has been strained but he is married to Miss Bronfman’s sister and is committed to her,” said Necheles.

27 Jul: Times Union: NXIVM’s Bronfman accused of hacking now-deceased father’s email
Seagram heiress posts $100 million bond, including Saratoga County properties
By Brendan J. Lyons
The collateral posted by Bronfman, an heiress of the Seagram Company fortune, included $25 million in cash and securities and $12 million in U.S. properties owned by Bronfman and her sister, Sara. The properties include three properties in Clifton Park and Waterford valued at $3.1 million, and a horse farm in Knox worth $1.4 million.
The surety for the bond — which was co-signed by Bronfman’s mother, Georgia Webb-Bronfman, and her brother-in-law, Basit Igtet — also includes a $13 million private island in Fiji that Bronfman purchased several years ago...

The alleged hacking of Edgar Bronfman’s computer was apparently carried out so that the NXIVM associates could monitor his emails, including his exchanges with world leaders and then-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton...

With that much money it was for kicks, and I suspect if one digs deep enough there may be an inverted pentagram or two involved.

‘Kicks’ on this level aren’t any run of the mill party games.

Gotta be seriously off base to get into this sorta stuff.

I hope someone bothers to check out her island. They probably won’t.

1 Oct 2007: NY Post: HILLARY’S $30,000 FANS ARE HER ‘CULT’ FOLLOWING
By Charles Hurt
A purported pyramid-scheme operator who was run out of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor has reinvented himself as the head of an upstate group accused of being a “cult” – and his devotees have pumped thousands into Hillary Rodham Clinton‘s presidential run.

Executives and top associates of the Albany-based NXIVM group – along with their family members – donated $29,900 to Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to federal records.
On March 14 and April 13, records show, more than a dozen contributions poured into Clinton’s coffers from NXIVM, an executive and group-awareness training organization led by Brooklyn-born Keith Raniere, 47.
Most were from first-time political donors, each giving the $2,300 maximum...
The Clinton campaign downplayed the significance of the NXIVM-related contributions...
Hillary isn’t the only Clinton NXIVM officials are attracted to.
At least three of them – group President Nancy Salzman and the Bronfman sisters – are members of Bill’s charitable organization, the Clinton Global Initiative. Membership is by invitation only and requires at least a $15,000 donation per person for one year...

Last month, the Albany Times Union reported that NXIVM associates gave $31,600 to the state Republican Senate Campaign Committee and provided $34,763 worth of air transportation...

From the Pittsburgh Tribune Review:

The truth about Kerry

As long ago as June 1971, a reporter for the Marxist Liberated Guardian described how Kerry was raising money from Wall Street’s liberal elite, led by Edgar Bronfman, president of Seagram’s Distillers, who gave $5,000 of 1971 money. The writer, a true Marxist, bemoaned that the donors had previously supported the Vietnam War, and wrote: “Most of these financiers of political movements are only interested in ‘future access to the White House.’ Does Kerry want to be in the White House someday? And if he were, how would he answer their calls?”

Rich people consume psych drugs more than poor people. There’s a lesson there. People achieve material success undreamt of in human history. And they down lithium because they are miserable. My mother died middleclass surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and never touched a filthy psych drug in her life.

Ted Turner could never say that for all his wealth and power.

She is the heir to the Seagram's Liquor fortune, and is worth $2.4 billion.

$100 million will not break the bank for her.

These people are just a small part of the mass of drones, zombies and sycophants who are willing to do her evil bidding. I’d bet that her bunch of assassins come from there as well as those professionals from the Deep State.
