Summary
Clare Bronfman was released from federal custody in June 2025 after serving six years and nine months. She reportedly still supports Keith Raniere. His release date is 2120. She was the only NXIVM co-defendant who never turned on him — and she paid the steepest price for it.
This episode maps every co-defendant’s outcome. Bronfman was shackled in the courtroom at sentencing — unusual for a nonviolent case. Allison Mack cooperated with prosecutors and served roughly two years before her release in 2023. Nancy Salzman, NXIVM’s co-founder, received three and a half years after expressing remorse. Lauren Salzman testified against Raniere and received five years probation with no prison time. Kathy Russell received two years probation for visa fraud.
Meanwhile, a federal civil RICO lawsuit filed by seventy former members continues to work through the courts. The active defendants are Clare Bronfman, Sara Bronfman, and Danielle Roberts. More than thirty plaintiffs withdrew when ordered to identify themselves. A trial before late 2026 is unlikely, and any adverse judgment would likely be appealed.
Raniere’s legal options have narrowed substantially. His direct appeal and first Supreme Court petition were denied. His evidence-tampering claim was rejected at every level. A second cert petition is pending. A habeas petition remains on hold. Every court that has reviewed his case has reached the same conclusion: the conviction stands.
The final episode of a four-part Hidden Killers investigation into NXIVM and Keith Raniere.
