Edgar Bronfman

Daniela described Edgar Bronfman as the target of email surveillance underlying an identity-theft racketeering allegation. She testified that Raniere requested access to his account, that she prepared spyware for his daughter Clare, and that she obtained his credentials and passed selected emails to Raniere, directly or through Kristin Keeffe. She did not witness Clare's reported physical installation of the software. November 2008 emails addressed Raniere's requests for updates and Daniela's report that she no longer had access. On cross-examination, Daniela said she did not believe Raniere personally accessed Bronfman's account. The defense later disputed proof that he received the surveillance results.

Stephen Herbits described arranging public-relations assistance for Clare and Sarah Bronfman at their father's request. He also identified an admitted email in which Edgar Bronfman denied supporting Rick Ross. During Ross's cross-examination, defense counsel displayed three Bronfman checks totaling $12,500. Ross connected one $5,000 check to legal costs in the Landmark Education litigation; he did not recall the other two and offered fundraising-related explanations. Separately, the court allowed a Forbes article quoting Bronfman's concern that ESP was a cult, with a limiting instruction. Its admitted purpose was to explain participants' subsequent actions, not to establish that characterization as true.
