Frank Report has just learned that the jury in the case of the U.S. v Raniere has reached its verdict in the case – and will be brought back into the courtroom at 2:30 PM to make the announcement. We will be providing an update as soon as possible but, given the numerous charges involved in this case, this does not bode well for Keith Alan Raniere AKA The Vanguard AKA Master AKA Grandmaster.

Normally, in this type of complex case involving multiple charges, the longer the jury is out, the more likely that the defendant will be found innocent – at least on some counts. But with this type of quick turnaround – less than 5 hours of deliberations – it will be shocking if this is not a “GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS” verdict.

Viva Executive Success!
