He was a traitor to both sides.
i'll add this in, go find my source, and report back - but i found a forum discussing his patents, and the ONLY thing he makes money on is video conferencing.
all of his other patents are design patents, and effectively worthless - only for him to say he's got patents.
regarding raniere's patents:
a good breakdown here:

(in short, offered by the reviewer, circa 2008
So, to offer a summary for people who don't feel like doing all this reading themselves:
-
Keith Raneire seems to have patented video-conferencing, and likely made a fortune off of it
-
He has no other current patents of any particular value.
-
He has tried to patent his method of Rational Inquiry, but it has thus far been denied because it is unclear, and it is not much different from a method described by certain Mr. Price in a 1997 article.
-
Any documents that are used during ESP seminars and individual sessions are viewable at the link provided above. )
that link is to an a capella forum. it's an amazing story, and i told it in the raniere thread, but nobody really saw it, i imagine. clare bronfman, lauren salzman, keith raniere - they all post in it. it's all archived, you can click through all the pages of the thread.
