In the Parlato case: he’s blown off another chance to take a plea, and the government gets ready to bury him as a tax cheat

Published by Reddit on June 30, 2022

Earlier this week, Frank Parlato waived appearance at a status conference in his own criminal case in the Western District of New York. It looks increasingly like he is treating his years-old indictment on fraud charges as a big game of chicken with the Feds –a game his codefendant Chitra Selvaraj does not appear to be interested in, as her lawyers are adamant that she is taking a plea and only awaiting the approval of prosecutors.

Though Parlato still has a chance of copping a plea bargain all the way until jury seleciton in September, the judge presiding over the case has set a mid-July court date to deal with two outstanding motions in limine to deal with the scope of arguments in the prospective prospective trial. Both motions boil down to matters the Government wants in or out of the trial.

What evidence does the Government want in? Evidence that Parlato has a history of deliquency in filing his personal taxes spanning 1997 until 2019, with some years filed late and others not at all, and that part of the attempt to defraud the government was the use of over 50 bank accounts as well as an ATM.

About the authors

Toni Natalie spent eight years with Keith Raniere, as his girlfriend and business partner. She watched as he  transformed himself from multi-level marketing guru into the cult leader known as Vanguard. When Toni finally left him, he threatened her: “I will see you dead or in jail.” He was half right.

Chet Hardin is the only journalist to play a midnight game of volleyball with actress Allison Mack, Seagram heiress Clare Bronfman, and the now-notorious Keith Raniere.
