EDGAR BRONFMAN SR
PRESIDENT & CEO OF SEAGRAM
Edgar Miles Bronfman (June 20, 1929 – December 21, 2013) was a Canadian-American businessman. He worked for his family distilled beverage firm, Seagram, eventually becoming president, treasurer and CEO. As President of the World Jewish Congress, Bronfman is especially remembered for initiating diplomacy with the Soviet Union, which resulted in legitimizing the Hebrew language in Russia, and contributed to Soviet Jews being legally able to practice their own religion, as well as emigrate to Israel.
After Edgar distanced himself from the cult, Raniere used his influence over his daughters to convince them that their father was conspiring against NXIVM and alleged financial investments Raniere made. The Bronfman sisters lost huge amounts of money whether Raniere took the money or lost it on bad investments isn’t clear.

WISDOMTREE INVESTMENTS
Michael H. Steinhardt (born December 7, 1940) is an American investor, hedge fund manager, and “philanthropist”.
In 1967, he founded a hedge fund, Steinhardt Partners, that boasted an averaged an annualized return for its clients of 24.5% from 1967 to 1978 His fund lost 1/3 of its value in the 1994 bond market crisis. After recouping in part with a 20% return in 1997, he closed the firm, took the money, and ran.
In 2004 he made his hedge fund comeback with WisdomTree Investments, a fund with nearly US$43 billion in assets under management in 2020.
On September 12, 2018 The Jewish Week reported that Hillel International was investigating Steinhardt for unwelcome “inappropriate sexual remarks” by two female employees of one of the many organizations he supports. The Jewish Week story quoted “sources close to the investigation” as saying that since, 2015, when the first complaint by a female employee occurred, it has been a “practice” within the organization for no female employee to have meetings with Steinhardt alone. The second woman making allegations received a written apology from Steinhardt, dated Aug. 23, 2011, acknowledging his inappropriate comments made toward her and two male colleagues at a meeting the year before. The report noted that Hillel had “quietly” removed his name from the board of governors listed on their website while the organization was investigating the claims. Hillel made an official statement that the complaints about sexual harassment by its donors were justified. Steinhardt stated in response to the findings “If I had been told immediately about concerns regarding anything I said at the time, I would have apologized immediately. I only recently learned about this investigation when Hillel called me about comments I made several years ago. I am sorry and deeply regret causing any embarrassment, discomfort or pain, which was never my intention.” As of March 2019, six women have claimed that Steinhardt had made sexual requests of them.
