Summary
Could a convicted cult leader actually get a new trial because of FBI misconduct? That’s the question hanging over Keith Raniere’s case, as allegations of tampered evidence and manipulated metadata surface. While the branding, coercion, and disturbing power dynamics of NXIVM are well-documented, former FBI agents now claim that crucial digital evidence—particularly in relation to an alleged minor—may have been altered. If true, does that mean Raniere gets a second shot at freedom, or does the mountain of other evidence against him still seal his fate? Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins the discussion, breaking down what this could mean for the future of the case. If the FBI cut corners, should it matter when the defendant is someone like Keith Raniere?
