NEW YORK — One Seagram’s heiress is headed to federal prison next year for her NXIVM-related crimes.

And another could be headed to the bank.

Sara Bronfman-Igtet, a longtime NXIVM disciple, agreed to give up her ownership interests in the cult-like organization’s properties in Colonie in exchange for a 20 percent share of their sale following final federal forfeiture proceedings.

The amount Bronfman-Igtet, 43, can receive for the sale of the properties — located at 447, 455 and 457 New Karner Road — is capped at $200,000, according to an agreement filed Dec. 20 in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn.

The NXIVM locations include the headquarters of the purported personal growth company headed by disgraced guru Keith Raniere, 59, formerly of Halfmoon, known in NXIVM as “Vanguard.” Raniere was convicted of all charges at trial including racketeering, sex trafficking and forced labor. He faces the possibility life in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 17.

Bronfman-Igtet's younger sister, 40-year-old Clare Bronfman, faces prison time, too.

The heiresses are the daughters of late Seagram’s liquor billionaire Edgar Bronfman who, after initially taking a class at NXIVM, became deeply concerned about the organization his daughters were in and “thought that they were joining a cult,” Stephen Herbits, an attorney for their father, testified earlier this year at Raniere’s trial.

During Raniere’s trial, NXIVM defector Mark Vicente testified that Bronfman-Igtet was part of Raniere’s “trusted group.” He also testified that he believed the Bronfman sisters owned NXIVM properties on New Karner Road. Bronfman-Igtet was never accused of a crime.

“This stipulation resolves only Sara Bronfman’s claims with respect to the forfeiture of the New Karner Road Properties in the above-captioned action and any ancillary proceeding,” stated Assistant U.S. Attorney Karin Orenstein. “This settlement does not resolve, or affect in any way, any other claims the United States may have, including, but not limited to, claims with respect to restitution, tax liabilities and/or any other existing potential liabilities or obligations that Sara Bronfman may have to the government.”

Clare Bronfman faces 21 to 27 months in federal prison at her Feb. 14 sentencing in U.S. District Court. She pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to conceal and harbor illegal aliens for financial gain, and fraudulent use of identification.

When Raniere was charged in a superseding indictment that also named Clare Bronfman, NXIVM president Nancy Salzman and NXIVM officials Lauren Salzman, Allison Mack and Kathy Russell, federal prosecutors said they planned to seize NXIVM properties if any of the defendants pleaded guilty to a racketeering-related charge.

Nancy Salzman, known as “Prefect,” pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy while her daughter and Mack, a television actress, pleaded guilty to charges that included racketeering. That's in addition to Raniere's conviction at trial.

In turn, federal prosecutors moved to seize NXIVM’s properties on New Karner Road on Aug. 7. They said the owner of the properties was listed in the Albany County clerk’s office as the “NX Trust, Inc.” The organization's trustee was identified as Nancy Salzman.

The government informed all of the defendants, including a lawyer for Bronfman-Igtet who, in response, notified prosecutors Bronfman-Igtet had an interest in the properties. The parties then reached the stipulation.
