Richard Branson’s Endorsement of Nxivm Appeared Online for 10 Years

Richard Branson’s endorsement of a Nxivm event and Keith Raniere appeared online for nearly 10 years on the website of one of Clare and Sara Bronfman’s foundations, the Worldethicalfoundation.org.

The website was originally created in 2009 to announce that the Dalai Lama and Raniere were teaming up for four days in Albany to teach the world how to be more ethical.

The website posted numerous endorsements for the event, including Branson’s high praise.

The four-day event was canceled, but the Dalai Lama did make a one-day appearance in Albany. Raniere appeared briefly on stage with him.
