Karen Unterreiner

Mark Vicente identified Karen Unterreiner as a NXIVM head trainer, proctor and executive-board member who worked with its finance and accounting department and calculated commissions. He also identified her in a photograph admitted as Government Exhibit 53. Lauren Salzman named her as part of Raniere's inner circle. Daniela's testimony addressed Unterreiner's handling of cash: she said payments were recorded under Scholarship Admin rather than Cash, stored in Unterreiner's desk and periodically removed by her. Daniela testified that this practice kept cash off the books to avoid taxes rather than funding actual scholarships.

Sylvie named Unterreiner among the people who conducted EM sessions concerning why she stopped during running speed work. Salzman testified that Unterreiner asked her to help coach Daniela around 2008 and again closer to 2010. Unterreiner also appeared in testimony about requests to recover DOS collateral. After reviewing an email, Salzman identified her among those copied on Audrey's July 10, 2017, forwarded request for the return of intimate photographs and other collateral. Salzman testified that Audrey did not receive her collateral back; the exchange did not establish a response by Unterreiner.
