Keith Allen Raniere (born August 26, 1960), also known as Vanguard, is an American convicted felon and the founder of NXIVM, a multi-level marketing organization based near Albany, New York.
Between 1998 and 2018, NXIVM developed a following primarily through its personal development seminars, recruiting several celebrities and socialites.
However, the organization also faced multiple accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle, leading to the arrests of Raniere and other NXIVM members in early 2018.
Raniere has subsequently been characterized in media reports as a cult leader. On June 19, 2019, Raniere was convicted of federal crimes including sex trafficking, conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit forced labor, all related to a secret society within NXIVM known as DOS, or The Vow.
Raniere is scheduled to be sentenced early 2020.
He faces a mandatory minimum prison term of fifteen years and a possible life sentence.
