Pretty much sums it up! Its sickening that there are diehard fans that are defending Erika, she spent millions of that blood money as well. Sadly, I'm sure when this is all over with she won't spend a single day behind bars cause rich people always get special treatment. She will cry to the judge saying she needs her glam squad and that its life or death!
As a law student, this makes me incredibly sad and disgusted. We take an oath to represent the client’s best interest and not engage in self-interest. Cringy now, but I, myself, even applied to intern at his office. Greed is so disgusting... Misappropriation of client funds is the #1 reason that lawyers get disbarred. He is a complete travesty to the entire legal profession and I hope he faces criminal charges.
Lawyers are the last person you should trust. You will soon learn: the law is not about right and wrong. It is about who has the money to file the lawsuits.
@@ovh992 I agree with the second part… not the first- that’s too general of a statement and lawyers can be trusted. It’s just idiots like this lawyer that give us a bad name.
Oh, she knows everything. She even created a shell company this January to hide assets before the news broke. The lawyers are having a crap time trying to get information. She's hiding everything!
@@DNTodt that's despicable that shes still trying to hide the money! Hopefully the courts/legal system can recover enough money to distribute between all of the victims! The entitlement to steal from people who have already been through such traumatic, devastating life events, it truly has me at a loss for words. Money is the root of all evil sadly, some people will do things most of us couldn't even imagine, just to get some money:(
There has to be a paper trail of the money and checks where they were deposited. A high-powered attorney like that playing dumb I don't know where the money went what a crock. What does his IRS return say where the money went they have all kinds of accountants handling their funds

@@KendallRae thank you so much, I’ve sent your video to all my family, we’re all so surprised that this is being covered. We did not even know to the extent of what was going on with joe’s case, he comes to our family get togethers and he really has gone through so much. He loved my cousin so much and it truly shows, knowing this breaks my heart for him, but we will definitely show him more of our love and support now knowing that on top of his health concerns he’s dealing with what this evil man did to him. Again thank you Kendall I watch all of your videos, I was sitting at work during lunch and was excited a new video came out and I got goose bumps when I heard Jessica morales no one had really spoken about how my cousin passed even though it was something so huge. You are truly an angel. God bless 🙏🏽
What are u for real were talking about survivors that l9st all their money, wife husband children and so on and you said what??? What are u 12 or just dumb, just leave the channel you make me sick.
I believe she divorced Tom so she won’t go down with him like Teresa Giudice with her ex husband Joe Giudice. Please do another series like this onTeresa & Joe Giudices from RHONJ & their legal troubles!
Yeah ikr! I'm not mad at her for it, but don't lie about it! If you wanna say you didn't marry him for money, okay sure; at least admit you 𝙖𝙧𝙚 divorcing him for lack thereof! Oh and don't steal people's shit so you can carry your little toy dog around in a custom Gucci bag with matching custom Gucci collars! The fact that people are being deprived of necessary medical treatments while she's needlessly spending 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 money on luxurious beauty treatments- now that's just downright despicable.
Her spending all that money on furthering her singing career and still not going anywhere just shows that you really have to have that something special about you. You can’t just buy your way to the top. You have to have real raw talent.
I don’t believe he’s broke. I’ve heard of rich people creating offshore accounts where they hide money to avoid paying taxes. This man isn’t dumb he knows where the money is at
Even with their lifestyle I can't believe how 100m can just dissappear it's really fishy at the very least it should be tied up in assets (houses, cars, jewelry, paintings etc) at least this kind of money doesn't just dissappear. Unless he had a serious gambling problem or something
It’s hidden for sure. There are some gossip blinds who allegedly say she visits a bank weekly in a part of town where she won’t be recognized and takes out some cash from a safety deposit box. She probably has a few to hide all the cash. She doesn’t want them looking under her mattress, where else would she put it to make it easy to access and can’t be traced electronically. Maybe off shore too but safety deposit boxes can hold lots of things, including cash.
I think that's why she keeps refusing to turn over all her "companies' " bank records. I think she thinks if she can delay enough maybe they will give up and say "oh never mind, just keep it". Just kidding. Actually Teresa Giudice tried the same play, she tried to hide money and assets from the court and her lawyers told her to not do that and I believe it made it worse. Again, it maybe interesting for someone to do a video explaining all the similarities of all these Bravo ladies and their little schemes. So the new ones would maybe avoid doing that! Just kidding, Bravo loves felons. I think if they see the bank records they will see the money disappearing aka being moved or liquidated or whatever for her to hide. I don't think it was all "spent" , I think it's definitely somewhere on shore or off.
@@susandurrant6357 exactly, that's why their comment says "imho" - which means: in my humble opinion.... So, yeah, it's their opinion only just like you're saying.
Thank you for covering this one- financial crime IS true crime. No one causes more suffering than the rich who amassed their wealth from exploiting others.
UPDATE: a judge ruled that Tom’s victims can can collect payments from Erika! This is truly disgusting and so glad the judge ruled that considering Erika probably has their settlement money
I really don’t feel bad for her. Erika knew where her husbands money was coming from. She only divorced him because their secrets were about to be released. Suddenly she realizes that Tom was a very controlling husband?! And now she wanted to divorce him? Come on! It’s sad but she payed the price of of unhappy marriage for riches, no matter where the riches came from. Bottom line, lawyers do NOT make millions of dollars. Tom should have signaling many red flags when he ripped Erin Brocovich off. Do a google search of how much he received compared to what Erin got. It’s so disgusting how Erika and Tom got away with this. Especially Tom, he is truly a piece of shit. I used to be such a fan of Erika but simply believing that she knew nothing about Tom’s schemes is just stupid. It’s not fair that the victims are able to target Erika instead of Tom but hey that just how it is sometimes.
OMG I was just thinking about her ridiculous closet. I would sell that crap on EBay and give the money back to the clients. I'd let her keep seven outfits. 1 for each day of the week.
I hate how people like this are “broke” and get to continue living their lavish lifestyle instead of moving to social housing or better yet a tent. This is why people continue to commit fraud.
@@katelynpresleigh9271 she's from Atlanta Georgia she goes with their mother from time to time and she make sure her mother is well provided for I don't think that's going to happen anymore. Move in with her mother her nose and then she might have another sucker on the hook over there in LA
They owe more than all of their assets combined. The house in Pasadena is only worth about 12 million and there’s a lien on that from the Ruigomez lawsuit. The cars were leased and the Law Firm owes millions to law creditors who front the money for expenses to run the contingency cases.
Love these videos, it’s nice to have a break from the gruesome true crimes to these reprehensible people being caught and hopefully convicted of their crimes.
He earned more than enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life, from the PG &E lawsuit alone. Anything beyond that, is icing on his greed cake
PG&E has done so many horrible things, Hinkley, Gas Explotions, fires that have burnt down multiple towns. I can’t believe they still exist or there’s not multiple documentaries about them.
@@aliciasalvato3261 then they took all the trees that were salvaged and sold them to China. The state allows them to monopolise almost the entire state of CA. We have no other company to get our power from. It’s corrupt BS.
If anyone asks you to invest and says there is “no risk of loss”, it should be an immediate NO! I don’t care how much you trust that person or how smart they seem, there is no such thing as a no risk investment.
Don't forget Erika and Tom also had a break-in at their house at the same time everyone started looking into their assets and where the money went. Rumors are speculating it was basically staged to hide some of their more expensive and prized possessions.
@@debboutland7408 For sure. He knew in order to keep her he needs to fulfill all her requirements. I think he feared that she might leave him for somebody else. That was his biggest mistake marrying somebody based on her age& looks and not a proper education! Imagine if he had married a lawyer his age instead of a gold digger.
It doesn't surprise me that he's pretending to have alzheimer's, claims to have NO clue where all that money went. He is a professional liar, oh I mean lawyer
The fact that she knew her husband transferred$25mil into her personal account FROM HIS FIRM is ENOUGH for me. No more questions about if she knew, what did she know and when or totally blindsided. Erika got millions from the firm and the victims families got NOTHING.
@@brynndally9869 SHE KNEW HE TRANSFERRED MILLIONS FROM HIS FIRM TO HER. CANT PLAY THE I DIDN'T KNOW CARD. ERICA ISN'T A 20yr old BLIND WOMAN. SHE'S A WELL SEASONED 50yr old.
@@ladypaul7932 yes she knew he transferred it but most likely didn’t know where it came from, he is a successful lawyer she probably just thought he invested his money well
they’re both at fault. i understand tom wanted to support his wife but he should’ve did that with HIS own money, not his victims. erika also shouldnt have been a part of taking money from all these victims. she’s way too greedy. the only people to feel bad for in this case are the victims.
He's SUCH a narcissist. Those phone calls made me sick. They're exactly how my grandpa talks to people. "I did you wrong but I want you to like me so here's a lie to help you not be mad at ME but at someone else" UGHHH
OMG 😳 I did not expect THIS. Im in disgust. The greed, ego, vanity, lack of any empathy. Not one moment has she reflected on how she’s so fortunate to begin with and where that money comes from that buys her all that fancy stuff!
I just wanna say, I was hospitalized for over two months with a severe blood infection, and every Monday, I would be happy for Kendall to post a new video. Her videos were the highlight of each week I was there. Im glad she's getting the recognition on UA-cam that she's deserved since the beginning of her channel! ❤️❤️❤️
It's disgusting how he lived his whole life in riches using the money he was stealing from victims and now he's old and sick and won't have to deal with all the consequences
I agree. They probably both agreed that a divorce was best, when the Chicago lawyer filed his lawsuit, so they could more easily hide assets. There are valuable paintings and other expensive home decor worth millions of dollars that has not yet been accounted for. It is suspected that certain items were sold shortly before all of this came out and that other items are being "stored" at friend's houses.
I completely agree! It most definitely was. This way she received settlement money and was hoping, I’m sure, that her name wouldn’t be as associated with Tom as it has been
It was. It happens so often in wealthy circles. Here’s why: they’re hoping a quick divorce will go through before the fraud case makes it to court (which is very possible during Covid since cases have been pushed back!). This gives him time to move as much cash and assets to Erika as possible - she’ll also be using off shore accounts. That way, everything will belong to “her” and not him. 😌👌🏻 If a judge rules he owes people money, he can say he’s broke, and she can say “oh all this belongs to me, and he’s my ex husband so it’s not my problem”. It happens ALL THE TIME like that sadly 😑 Bikram Choudhury (of Bikram/Hot Yoga fame) did exactly the same thing. Fake divorced his wife so he transferred everything into her name and accounts. When his victims came to collect, he claimed he was “broke”. He isn’t. His wife just hid his money for him 😑
That's why it is always wise to just watch their actions than words. There is no good person who says I am good. People will see their deeds and says he/she is a good person
I Just don’t believe he wasted millions on his wife’s non existent “music career” he’s hopefully smarter then that I think they BOTH honestly blew threw the money or I feel like the money is hidden in different untraceable bank accounts.
She spent millions of dollars. There's no way that they have all that money hidden somewhere. The way that she was spending that money is gone when you're spending more than you have coming in and it's not even your money to begin with it's gone. One of the episodes when she's showing off her jewelry Kyle said that's like having a Lamborghini on your arm 🤯 and that was just one of her items.
Exactly or better yet in some investments that are growing the money and I hope the courts find them! They are smart people and know when you spend money it just doesn't magically multiply in your accounts! Especially the amounts she was spending monthly! Now way they didn't have huge illigal investments off shore
Why didn’t the Partners, lawyers or IRS ever ask this guy to explain how his life was WAY more extravagant than the amount he should have really been taking home?
@@nancy-bu5jm The problem is that once you get serious work done, you will not age normally, which requires ever more work, until some people are unrecognizable by the time they're in their 60s or so. Edit: It is very expensive too, so lots of $$ needed to maintain such an altered appearance.
She may have looked normal back then, yet when the need to fill a void in life with stuff shows she was a very unhappy woman in reality. She was a mask of low self esteem.
Has she apologized? Even if she “didn’t know” apologies are for things we didn’t mean. So if she unintentionally took money from these victims, she should apologize. Instead of being pitiless about it.
Unfortunately an apology in the eyes of the court can be constituted as an admission of guilt. Since the case is still open I’m sure she won’t be able to apologize even if she could.
@@mrsmuriel Correct. No attorney would let someone apologize, especially if they were unaware and not guilty, for good reason. First an opposing attorney can twist that to use against one, but even worse is the public does that. People like to take anything and twist into what it doesn't mean, either for their own purpose or out of ignorance, so only an idiot with no legal counsel would apologize when not at fault. That is not how it works.
@@RicciaFalisha But the question is did she know that's where the money came from? She cannot apologize without admitting guilt. Regardless of her guilt or innocence
@@np1056 personally I think she did know something maybe not everything BUT if she did not? Then She is guilty of unknowingly using these peoples Money. And if I was using a victims money and I had no idea I was doing so? Once I found out, I would be remorseful and apologize. She can be apologetic BECAUSE she had no idea. Why would she be sorry if she knew what they were doing
I'm not sure I'd touch pg&e. It's owned by our owners. If she doesn't know what I mean by that, she would after digging and then her channel would be gone...
She is an intelligent adult, if she SPENT the money she is culpable. Being a “trophy” wife stereotype is not an excuse for spending the proceeds that belongs to victims of horrific events. It was so blatant that it was obvious many many people knew about it in and around that practice. Judges, attorney’s, legal aids etc.. that ignored it because of his “wealth” and “power”. I do not feel sorry for her what so ever.
EXACTLY! I HAVE BEEN STUDYING BIDENS LAST 47 YEARS IN OFFICE ALONG WITH HIS BROTHER AND THEIR BUSINESS DEALINGS...ITS SO BAD I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT. IM SO OVER ANY OF THESE RICH BASTARDS
This is why our justice system needs a process to verify what was ordered actually happens. Currently, you have to go back to court (motion to enforce) to get what's ordered if you don't. Takes a ridiculous amount of time. There should be penalties for this and those that procrastinate or stahl cases and don't do what is ordered. A warrant should just be issued... no need to go to court to enforce the motion.
I'm about to light up right now! I'm ready to delve into this mess with Kendall and y'all 🤠 (also I'd like to add I mean no disrespect to anybody mentioned in the video, I haven't watched it fully yet and my thoughts are always with those affected) ❤️
She’s so guilty and tried hiding the stolen money. She spent millions just on glamour. All the sudden she gets a divorce when these lawsuits come out. Now she’s talking I’ll of him but weeks before she was saying how great he was
@@betsybabf748 You do realize that Erika is not saying that the money isn’t from victims she’s saying the money was a gift from Tom so therefore it cannot be seized. You don’t have to be there to easily understand legal papers and law, clearly the judge wasn’t there but agreed that she’s liable 🙃
Totally agree 💯🙋🏻♂️ hey Phil you notice these people tend to just hide away like nothings going on or they did nothing? Trust me this chic is gonna just blame the ex hubby, lol the fact that she wasted all this money VICTIMS money 💰 on making her Pop career (which never happened) LOL what a waste of human. NEXT
Great content! I have been following this case too because I watch RHOBH. I appreciate how you remind people to not give to much empathy to EJ. She chose to be clueless with an evil man. Playing with fire we unfortunately get burned.
Googled her name and found this from today: “A judge ruled Tuesday that some former clients of Tom Girardi can pursue a collections lawsuit against his estranged wife, Erika Girardi.” Good.
But Kendall’s been doing lawsuit videos lately this isn’t her 1st one … she’s made a video about the Wendy’s lawsuit, the McDonald’s lawsuit … and now this one …🤷🏻♀️
@@priscillapie why are you being so condescending? I just mindlessly pressed play and then voiced my moment of realisation, that it was a crime video, in a comment. Please dont bag on someone enjoying a video, bc you thought they hadn't watched her other crime only videos. Not everyone is going to watch every single video from a creator, just let people enjoy things
@@priscillapie Ok and? Her channel is mainly under murder cases so the fact that she has a few lawsuit videos, I understand this person thinking it would be another murder video. Ur attitude was unnecessary and trash for no reason.
Kendall you remind me of some of my favorite teachers throughout my childhood and adolescence. Your story telling abilities are to the point yet very descriptive at the same time. I feel I accrue great knowledge from your videos. Keep up the good work and same to Josh and Janelle who are also from the same cloth.
When you are married to anyone who commits financial crimes, you, the wife, are held liable and responsible, especially when he is funneling money into a company with your name on it. Erica Jayne is not ignorant of her husband's fraud. No way. Ignorance is no excuse. This same thing happens to normal people EVERYDAY who have to file bankruptcy.
@Ann Harlan in controlling relationships spouses won’t give them time to read or will threaten for them to sign. Him being such a powerful lawyer I doubt she knew what was going on
My step mom is kind of dealing with a similar situation except with back taxes. My dad owes 100k in back taxes and she’s being held liable because they’re still married even though they aren’t together. Starting to think marriage is a scam 😂
They need a real housewives that are actually not so rich lol Erika was probably his down fall, no one (meaning the rich and also corrupt) cared about his corruption until his wife's singing career lol not to mention Erika probably is the reason he ended up broke smh Also it's bullshit that she just doesn't show up to court because most people go to jail for that type of thing. Yeah poor Erika using all that money I bet it has been SUPER hard for her 🙄🙄
@@XoxoxShelbs yeah it was slow because she wasn't on that show for 22 years, once the show started she got a big head and started spending way too much leading to him stealing from victims but that's just my opinion 🤷
The courts just passed a judgment that Joe’s family has the go ahead to collect payment from Erika, so she knew.. So happy this family will now have chance to recover their funds.
@Stephanie bcuz Joe can collect from her (he should be able to & all victims) doesn't mean she knew exactly what was going on, I don't believe he told her a D thing abt his shenanigans, on a couple of episodes of RHOBH he dismissed her like she was a child, he put money in her account I doubt he told her he swindled the money from the poor clients & am sure she didn't ask, although ignorance of the law doesn't exempt you from liability.
@@ashleenicole71 I don't think they separate monies from husband & wife but I think if she showed her financial records & remorse for the victiim & she offer all money associated with him to the victims she may be able to keep most of her money that she earned, she has a lot of assets she can sell as well. But her ice cold persona may get in her way.
If she’s missing court appearances and/or depositions, she’ll eventually be brought up on charges of contempt of court. Then the real drama will begin. Wait for “Real Housewives of the State Pen” 🙄
I have PG&E and they literally shut off our power when it gets windy outside because they want to avoid another lawsuit. Looks like they've always been a garbage company.
yep, I’m a vet tech and we’ve had them shut off our power with no warning while we were in the middle of surgery because it was windy. It’s happened more than once. maybe they should service their power lines more often so they don’t have to shut off everyone’s power to avoid a lawsuit 😐
@@luv4softball99 They should be sued for that... I HATE that company after watching the movie and now hate them even more... They are a legally allowed to kill ppl or risk lives and animals by the sounds of things and just payout millions and keep on going... How is that OK???
Sounds like she married him for money. Now that he’s being sued, she leaves him. I believe she knew and she just didn’t care. She has always seemed like a horrible person.
Something about me says that they have bank accounts overseas, and they won’t show the bank statements yet, but they will later after all the money is transferred. I know tons of rich families who embezzle money & send them overseas so no one can track it. Wolf of Wall Street is a good example of this.
@@karenbeee4568 Ohhh. I Hope not. Why would you.. do that!! Divorce costs you a lot and should be a decision that comes from your intuition (after having gone off of energy first). It usually affects one more than the other in many forms. Brividi I don’t think I could ever do it in an insincere manner.

Cptsdhiatushernia intangible bs led me here. Ouch.
I worked at a nursing home and there was a woman with Alzheimer’s and she had spent ALL of her family’s millions and had no recollection of doing so. They lost everything slowly over time because she was losing her memory and ability to make rational decisions. Her husband and family had no clue that she was mentally ill. Sometimes these things go unnoticed until it’s too late. So terrible for all of the victims involved.
Yes . On a lower level the same happened in my family . Father with dementia giving tens of thousands of dollars away to a younger (30yrs) " girl friend " (who is married to someone else).
@@Mirrorgirl492 It has to do with the fact that Tommy may very well have been blowing money while suffering dementia that went unnoticed as, in the cases above, it can and does happen.
That's not the case here. There is evidence that his fraud and stealing victim money has been going since like the 90's. Watch Emily d bakers videos on it. She goes over court filings and was an attorney for 10 years. Even his diagnosis is odd because of how the Dr labeled it. Although, if he is sick, it might explain why things fell apart now and not sooner
My thought exactly. Any of us nobodys did that they'd come, and arrest us! He was hiding money by putting it into her "company" and courts just ruled the families can sue HER for settlement money. I sure hope they do! She has no "career" without buying it. It's not based on talent. She is gross. Never liked her. She's got a dark evil streak in her. She is no pop star. It's like vanity publishing. Same thing.
Everyone going after Erika and her $20M, but what about the billion dollar law firm that he owns? The company must've known and have culpability in this as well. Much better to sue them to get the millions owed.
This isn’t even close to over. The forensic accountant for the law firm estimates that it will take at least another 6 months to work out all the numbers because apparently Girardi&Keese still kept a _paper_ ledger.
Funny how it’s never about the money until the money runs out. Can’t say I ever feel bad though. Maybe one day men will learn that women 20 or 30 years their juniors are NEVER in it for love. You’re paying for your ego. Period.
I used to like Erika. Even though she loved to live luxuriously she seemed the most down to earth since she came from a working class background. Sadly, she has seemed to forget all about that…
Totally off topic for this video, but I think you should do a video on the 215 children found in Kamloops B.C. there's so much more too the story, it involves indigenous people of North America and I really feel like this is something that should be talked about and should have some light shined on it. Me and many fellow indigenous peoples would appreciate if you did a video covering that.
Please give it the title" the catholic church. Canada. Génocide.". A thousand and counting of first nations peaple ; children murdered thrown away like trash. Surviors never believed They ( the Catholic church) Hid behind the cross. Alowed pédophiles and murders to thrive.
I agree, Im a canadian metis indigenous woman. Canadian government and the catholic churches abuse of the entire Indigenous race!!! and this issue has occured within our grandparents and parents era
Tom spent a lot of the money on his own vices as well. All the houses, parties, box offices, country club memberships, suits, watches, house staff, restaurants, spousal support etc…
I’ve recently discovered your channel and done a bit of a deep dive of your videos all of which are excellent! You have such a gift with narration of events as well as have such a care for the victims of these cases you present. Love, love, love your channel!
Honestly, when you look at their marriage, I wonder how much she did know. It’s hard for me to understand that the lawyers who worked with Tom didn’t know this was happening.
Imagine knowing where the money came from then going on a show and releasing a song thats based on how wealthy you are, talk about f*cked up, rubbing it in the victims face 🤢
A judge ruled that the victims can collect from Erika!!!! Now that's JUSTICE. she benefited greatly from those victims. It's just devastatingly sad that those people have to deal with the unbelievable trauma, which is just life shattering, but to also have to deal with & process what Tom did to them too. It breaks my heart for those people. And it was done for what cuz she wanted to b a fucking pop star. Tom & Erika felt that her dream was more important then the victims of horrific tragedies. They SHOULD be able to get their money from her. And I don't believe for one second he is broke, without a doubt He's got off shore accounts. This makes me so mad that there are people that will do this to other people. People that are already going thru unimaginable pain & grief. Tom & Erika deserve what they get & much much more. Idk if she knew he was taking people's settlement money however I don't think she would've cared or been bothered in the least. Those two are a special kind of evil.

We did not even know to the extent of what was going on with joe’s case, he comes to our family get togethers and he really has gone through so much. He loved my cousin so much and it truly shows, knowing this breaks my heart for him, but we will definitely show him more of our love and support now knowing that on top of his health concerns he’s dealing with what this evil man did to him. Again thank you Kendall I watch all of your videos, I was sitting at work during lunch and was excited a new video came out and I got goose bumps when I heard Jessica morales no one had really spoken about how my cousin passed even though it was something so huge. You are truly an angel. God bless 🙏🏽
I live in the Bay Area, and remember when this happened. It was horrible. I’m SO sorry for your loss. It’s awful.
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 hugs to you 💕
I hate that terrible people like these get lifted up in American society. It's a sickness.
They fail upward-I bet her profile will rise from this and she’ll make even more of a profit. It’s sick
Capitalism.
🙌🏼 said so perfectly!
Me too I cant comprehend people's mentality....
It is a sickness, an epidemic
I love how your doggy is comfortable sleeping to the sounds of the crimes you brilliantly narrate
What are u for real were talking about survivors that l9st all their money, wife husband children and so on and you said what??? What are u 12 or just dumb, just leave the channel you make me sick.
Me too.....lovely little pooch pie.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I believe she divorced Tom so she won’t go down with him like Teresa Giudice with her ex husband Joe Giudice.
Please do another series like this onTeresa & Joe Giudices from RHONJ & their legal troubles!
Yes!!
That's exactly what I think happened. Once they're divorced, they can't touch her money.
No way I didn't know Teresa devorced him. I didn't see it again after the jail segment it stopped coming on over here n haven't seen it since.
@@YoungDymisty yeah she did over a year ago. They are both with other people. He end up getting Deported to Italy
@@evie2500_ aww I remember how badly it effected the kids. I forgot what he did was it fraud or something ?
She clearly married him for money who does she think she’s kidding 🙄
And he clearly knew a broke nobody was marrying him for money. So? Sometimes love isn’t the basis for a marriage though it may come along.
And…..
Not necessarily. She didn't have a father figure. He could've filled that void. I think she genuinely loved him, although maybe not in a romantic way.
Yeah and what did he marry her for? Her personality?😆 they are both the same
Yeah ikr! I'm not mad at her for it, but don't lie about it! If you wanna say you didn't marry him for money, okay sure; at least admit you 𝙖𝙧𝙚 divorcing him for lack thereof! Oh and don't steal people's shit so you can carry your little toy dog around in a custom Gucci bag with matching custom Gucci collars! The fact that people are being deprived of necessary medical treatments while she's needlessly spending 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 money on luxurious beauty treatments- now that's just downright despicable.
Erica's beauty budget alone should be a crime
True! Who really needs to put 2k a day to their appearence?!
Seriously
I dunno why people boast about their “glam squad”. If you need that many people to make you look good, you lost boasting rights 😂🤦🏼♀️
@@melissam597 this!!!
@@melissam597 couldn't agree more😅
She spent 40k per month on glam.
Her spending all that money on furthering her singing career and still not going anywhere just shows that you really have to have that something special about you. You can’t just buy your way to the top. You have to have real raw talent.
Literally just read a judge has ruled that the victims can collect their payments from Erika 😱👏
Whatttt
I hope so!!
Good
She totally deserves this judgement 🤣
Lmao they should take from her since their money went to her lifestyle and her sucky music adventure
And this is why we say, “eat the rich.” I hope all the victims get their settlements.
penelope scott vibes in this vid
Shi*ty people exist in all classes. But yes, I very much hope these victims get their settlements too!
@Daniel Deering Yes, I know, I would agree haha
@Daniel Deering 👏EAT 👏THE👏RICH👏
@Daniel Deering the nerve of feeling bad for these scumbags
Erika knew. She just didn’t want to say anything because he funded her “music” career
🤣 “music”
How do u know. Were u there
@@donnaspeer2760 thus the quotes
"Career" air quotes on both lol
glam team ok donts say i have this that .....i dont feel sorry for her
I'm from Indonesia and has followed the Boeing crash story. Absolutely disgusted by what Tom has done to the victims, who don't deserve more pain.
The widows couldn't feed their children while Erika was buying $10,000 shoes and $20,000 purses. Erika is the true face of evil.
I don’t believe he’s broke. I’ve heard of rich people creating offshore accounts where they hide money to avoid paying taxes. This man isn’t dumb he knows where the money is at
Even with their lifestyle I can't believe how 100m can just dissappear it's really fishy at the very least it should be tied up in assets (houses, cars, jewelry, paintings etc) at least this kind of money doesn't just dissappear. Unless he had a serious gambling problem or something
It’s hidden for sure. There are some gossip blinds who allegedly say she visits a bank weekly in a part of town where she won’t be recognized and takes out some cash from a safety deposit box. She probably has a few to hide all the cash. She doesn’t want them looking under her mattress, where else would she put it to make it easy to access and can’t be traced electronically. Maybe off shore too but safety deposit boxes can hold lots of things, including cash.
Erika is hiding at least 20M as well that Tom “invested” into her production company.
@@TheSnowReport28 most definitely.
I think that's why she keeps refusing to turn over all her "companies' " bank records. I think she thinks if she can delay enough maybe they will give up and say "oh never mind, just keep it". Just kidding.
Actually Teresa Giudice tried the same play, she tried to hide money and assets from the court and her lawyers told her to not do that and I believe it made it worse. Again, it maybe interesting for someone to do a video explaining all the similarities of all these Bravo ladies and their little schemes. So the new ones would maybe avoid doing that! Just kidding, Bravo loves felons.
I think if they see the bank records they will see the money disappearing aka being moved or liquidated or whatever for her to hide. I don't think it was all "spent" , I think it's definitely somewhere on shore or off.
“I’ll never depend on a man”. Depends on a man for literally everything including her “music career”.
Meh does she though? Seems like a choice vs having to.
Depending on and using are probably two different things.
@@butterflymoon6368 ummm, if she didn’t have her, um, “phenotype”, we’d probably ALL consider it the same damn thing. Just sayin

@@susandurrant6357 she did say IMHO = IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.
Thank you for covering this one- financial crime IS true crime. No one causes more suffering than the rich who amassed their wealth from exploiting others.
Murica!
And that is how all of the super wealthy get their money- by stepping on and exploiting the low income employees that they work with.
UPDATE: a judge ruled that Tom’s victims can can collect payments from Erika! This is truly disgusting and so glad the judge ruled that considering Erika probably has their settlement money
Thank you!!
FREE ERIKA
I really don’t feel bad for her. Erika knew where her husbands money was coming from. She only divorced him because their secrets were about to be released. Suddenly she realizes that Tom was a very controlling husband?! And now she wanted to divorce him? Come on! It’s sad but she payed the price of of unhappy marriage for riches, no matter where the riches came from. Bottom line, lawyers do NOT make millions of dollars. Tom should have signaling many red flags when he ripped Erin Brocovich off. Do a google search of how much he received compared to what Erin got. It’s so disgusting how Erika and Tom got away with this. Especially Tom, he is truly a piece of shit. I used to be such a fan of Erika but simply believing that she knew nothing about Tom’s schemes is just stupid. It’s not fair that the victims are able to target Erika instead of Tom but hey that just how it is sometimes.
She can start selling all her stuff in that closet of hers…🙈
OMG I was just thinking about her ridiculous closet. I would sell that crap on EBay and give the money back to the clients. I'd let her keep seven outfits. 1 for each day of the week.
Headlines broke yesterday that Tom's victims are allowed to sue Erika. Things are about to get interesting.
This is crazy it's mindboggling... erika is in trouble
Ohhh I love that for her
they can actually collect from Erika, without having to sue her first.
If she's smart, the money is in a trust and can't be touched by now.
Wonder how many of those housewife friends still visit her once they need to pop by the jail to say hi?
I hate how people like this are “broke” and get to continue living their lavish lifestyle instead of moving to social housing or better yet a tent. This is why people continue to commit fraud.
Erika Jayne wouldn’t be caught dead in “social housing” are you serious 😂
This is always my question. I don’t understand how they keep living the lifestyle.
Honestly

She’s divorcing him so they don’t liquidate her assets. So disgusting, I hope they can find where the money went.
I hope they can link it to her. She is a
gold digger & they both deserve to lose it ALL & sit behind bars
Just today I read that a judge said that 3 of the people he stole from can sue Erika (because there's a record of him transferring 20 million to her )
We see where it went, they spent it... It's all gone.
I hope they find the money too!!!
Loving your sun flowers! 🥰
They should BOTH have to sell EVERYTHING of value to give to those they screwed over.
Yes the court can seize all of their assets
They owe more than all of their assets combined. The house in Pasadena is only worth about 12 million and there’s a lien on that from the Ruigomez lawsuit. The cars were leased and the Law Firm owes millions to law creditors who front the money for expenses to run the contingency cases.
Heavyyy!
they don't have to sell it, the court is already liquidating their assets.
Love these videos, it’s nice to have a break from the gruesome true crimes to these reprehensible people being caught and hopefully convicted of their crimes.
I just find it hard to believe that he was doing all of this solely for his trophy wife's "music career". He probably got plenty of money hidden away.
He wasn't...he's been stealing from victims since the 80s
I’m sure he does but she definitely is spending a lot of it clearly. 2k for a glam squad a day is just too much.
100% FACTS
He earned more than enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life, from the PG &E lawsuit alone. Anything beyond that, is icing on his greed cake
Agreed. It wasn't all about her. She is just a piece of the puzzle. whatever it may be.
PG&E has done so many horrible things, Hinkley, Gas Explotions, fires that have burnt down multiple towns. I can’t believe they still exist or there’s not multiple documentaries about them.
I heard PG&E was the first to buy the D.E.W. Then the Paradise fire happened…
Check out who PG&E has donated to, then it’ll make sense how they still exist.
Well said
@@aliciasalvato3261 then they took all the trees that were salvaged and sold them to China. The state allows them to monopolise almost the entire state of CA. We have no other company to get our power from. It’s corrupt BS.

Please do an update on this story. Thank you.
This is absolutely sick smh. Definitely “eat the rich” I can’t even imagine how they slept at night knowing people were suffering because of them.
EGO..THESE ALL HAVE HUGE EGO'S
Maybe he didn't sleep at night? Maybe he did feel bad but he loved her so much he couldn't deny her.
@Jinn Jinn steel?
No conscience
They dont have a soul....
Don't forget Erika and Tom also had a break-in at their house at the same time everyone started looking into their assets and where the money went. Rumors are speculating it was basically staged to hide some of their more expensive and prized possessions.
That is very interesting! I wouldn't be surprised.
Well Tom did say at one point he had MILLIONS in cash and it’s all gone…… I’m sure they won’t get much out of them because the real money is put away
He is so obviously never "the peoples lawyer " thats soo obviously rigged. He didn't care at all, he works for the companys who hurt these people.
Gross. They are gross, just gross.
Wow that is horrendously vile on their part to steal their own shit!!!! I hope they get the book thrown at them then a shark!
He started his career with good intentions but Greed got the best of him
im sure that did it ...certain lawyers/lairs and greed
As it does !
Umm keeping his wife got to him.
@@debboutland7408 For sure. He knew in order to keep her he needs to fulfill all her requirements. I think he feared that she might leave him for somebody else. That was his biggest mistake marrying somebody based on her age& looks and not a proper education! Imagine if he had married a lawyer his age instead of a gold digger.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
It doesn't surprise me that he's pretending to have alzheimer's, claims to have NO clue where all that money went. He is a professional liar, oh I mean lawyer
The fact that she knew her husband transferred$25mil into her personal account FROM HIS FIRM is ENOUGH for me. No more questions about if she knew, what did she know and when or totally blindsided. Erika got millions from the firm and the victims families got NOTHING.
Successful lawyers and controlling husbands can hide A LOT from their wives, was she even in charge of her personal account?
@@brynndally9869 SHE KNEW HE TRANSFERRED MILLIONS FROM HIS FIRM TO HER. CANT PLAY THE I DIDN'T KNOW CARD. ERICA ISN'T A 20yr old BLIND WOMAN. SHE'S A WELL SEASONED 50yr old.

they’re both at fault. i understand tom wanted to support his wife but he should’ve did that with HIS own money, not his victims. erika also shouldnt have been a part of taking money from all these victims. she’s way too greedy. the only people to feel bad for in this case are the victims.
He's SUCH a narcissist. Those phone calls made me sick. They're exactly how my grandpa talks to people. "I did you wrong but I want you to like me so here's a lie to help you not be mad at ME but at someone else" UGHHH
OMG 😳 I did not expect THIS. Im in disgust. The greed, ego, vanity, lack of any empathy. Not one moment has she reflected on how she’s so fortunate to begin with and where that money comes from that buys her all that fancy stuff!

It's disgusting how he lived his whole life in riches using the money he was stealing from victims and now he's old and sick and won't have to deal with all the consequences
No karma always comes back he may in misery and pain right now till he dies
I still hold my opinion that the divorce is a calculated move.
It would definnitely make a lot of sense
As was the "marriage" to begin with...
I agree. They probably both agreed that a divorce was best, when the Chicago lawyer filed his lawsuit, so they could more easily hide assets. There are valuable paintings and other expensive home decor worth millions of dollars that has not yet been accounted for. It is suspected that certain items were sold shortly before all of this came out and that other items are being "stored" at friend's houses.
I completely agree! It most definitely was. This way she received settlement money and was hoping, I’m sure, that her name wouldn’t be as associated with Tom as it has been
It was. It happens so often in wealthy circles. Here’s why: they’re hoping a quick divorce will go through before the fraud case makes it to court (which is very possible during Covid since cases have been pushed back!). This gives him time to move as much cash and assets to Erika as possible - she’ll also be using off shore accounts. That way, everything will belong to “her” and not him. 😌👌🏻 If a judge rules he owes people money, he can say he’s broke, and she can say “oh all this belongs to me, and he’s my ex husband so it’s not my problem”.
It happens ALL THE TIME like that sadly 😑 Bikram Choudhury (of Bikram/Hot Yoga fame) did exactly the same thing. Fake divorced his wife so he transferred everything into her name and accounts. When his victims came to collect, he claimed he was “broke”. He isn’t. His wife just hid his money for him 😑
Wow, terrible all around for everyone involved.
Has anyone else noticed when a person says they're "for the people" they tend to be the most greediest and conniving people?
That's why it is always wise to just watch their actions than words. There is no good person who says I am good. People will see their deeds and says he/she is a good person
Politicians
I Just don’t believe he wasted millions on his wife’s non existent “music career” he’s hopefully smarter then that I think they BOTH honestly blew threw the money or I feel like the money is hidden in different untraceable bank accounts.
I feel its hidden
they've definitely hidden all those money hence the convenient divorce.
She spent millions of dollars. There's no way that they have all that money hidden somewhere. The way that she was spending that money is gone when you're spending more than you have coming in and it's not even your money to begin with it's gone. One of the episodes when she's showing off her jewelry Kyle said that's like having a Lamborghini on your arm 🤯 and that was just one of her items.
Exactly or better yet in some investments that are growing the money and I hope the courts find them! They are smart people and know when you spend money it just doesn't magically multiply in your accounts! Especially the amounts she was spending monthly! Now way they didn't have huge illigal investments off shore
definitely! These are stupid people
Why didn’t the Partners, lawyers or IRS ever ask this guy to explain how his life was WAY more extravagant than the amount he should have really been taking home?

She may have looked normal back then, yet when the need to fill a void in life with stuff shows she was a very unhappy woman in reality. She was a mask of low self esteem.
She is a 50 year old wannabe pop star so of course she needs a butt load of cosmetic surgery!
Has she apologized? Even if she “didn’t know” apologies are for things we didn’t mean. So if she unintentionally took money from these victims, she should apologize. Instead of being pitiless about it.
Unfortunately an apology in the eyes of the court can be constituted as an admission of guilt. Since the case is still open I’m sure she won’t be able to apologize even if she could.
@@mrsmuriel Correct. No attorney would let someone apologize, especially if they were unaware and not guilty, for good reason. First an opposing attorney can twist that to use against one, but even worse is the public does that. People like to take anything and twist into what it doesn't mean, either for their own purpose or out of ignorance, so only an idiot with no legal counsel would apologize when not at fault. That is not how it works.
@@betsybabf748 let’s be clear. She IS guilty of living off of these peoples money.
@@RicciaFalisha But the question is did she know that's where the money came from? She cannot apologize without admitting guilt. Regardless of her guilt or innocence
@@np1056 personally I think she did know something maybe not everything BUT if she did not? Then She is guilty of unknowingly using these peoples Money. And if I was using a victims money and I had no idea I was doing so? Once I found out, I would be remorseful and apologize. She can be apologetic BECAUSE she had no idea. Why would she be sorry if she knew what they were doing
The number of times you brought up the scandals relating to PG&E makes me feel like a whole video could be done about them.
Yessss
Right, isn’t that what the movie Erin Brokavitch was about?
I'm not sure I'd touch pg&e. It's owned by our owners. If she doesn't know what I mean by that, she would after digging and then her channel would be gone...
She is an intelligent adult, if she SPENT the money she is culpable. Being a “trophy” wife stereotype is not an excuse for spending the proceeds that belongs to victims of horrific events. It was so blatant that it was obvious many many people knew about it in and around that practice. Judges, attorney’s, legal aids etc.. that ignored it because of his “wealth” and “power”. I do not feel sorry for her what so ever.
The world is a stage. If this were a person that wasn’t associated with politicians..they would be in prison. Rich greedy people. How disgusting.

It might be to protect herself legally and financially too.
They were married over 20yrs. Its a way to protect their assets more than ditching him
I think she does loves him n he covering up this craziness with divorce
When you're married, his losses are her losses. She was just protecting herself, and probably him too, by getting a divorce.
This is why our justice system needs a process to verify what was ordered actually happens. Currently, you have to go back to court (motion to enforce) to get what's ordered if you don't. Takes a ridiculous amount of time. There should be penalties for this and those that procrastinate or stahl cases and don't do what is ordered. A warrant should just be issued... no need to go to court to enforce the motion.

When you are married to anyone who commits financial crimes, you, the wife, are held liable and responsible, especially when he is funneling money into a company with your name on it. Erica Jayne is not ignorant of her husband's fraud. No way. Ignorance is no excuse. This same thing happens to normal people EVERYDAY who have to file bankruptcy.
@Ann Harlan in controlling relationships spouses won’t give them time to read or will threaten for them to sign. Him being such a powerful lawyer I doubt she knew what was going on

@Stephanie bcuz Joe can collect from her (he should be able to & all victims) doesn't mean she knew exactly what was going on, I don't believe he told her a D thing abt his shenanigans, on a couple of episodes of RHOBH he dismissed her like she was a child, he put money in her account I doubt he told her he swindled the money from the poor clients & am sure she didn't ask, although ignorance of the law doesn't exempt you from liability.
@@ashleenicole71 I don't think they separate monies from husband & wife but I think if she showed her financial records & remorse for the victiim & she offer all money associated with him to the victims she may be able to keep most of her money that she earned, she has a lot of assets she can sell as well. But her ice cold persona may get in her way.
Yesss!! Gimme all the tea kendall!! Ive been so confused getting parts of the story
Now I’m terrified my house is gonna blow up. That is horrific
Oh my gosh, right!
Good LORD! SCARY!!
SAME
Glad I'm not the only one 😂
So scary! This happened in Lawrence, Massachusetts recently it left people without power for months and blew up areas of the city.
If she’s missing court appearances and/or depositions, she’ll eventually be brought up on charges of contempt of court. Then the real drama will begin. Wait for “Real Housewives of the State Pen” 🙄
honestly that show sounds kinda good 😂 i don’t watch any of the real housewives shows but i would definitely watch that one lmao
Ala the musical “Chicago”.
I wouldn't ever watched any of these shows except that one 😂
@@annabelledavis962 same here! lol
@@mulliganstew72 LOVE that musical!!
I have PG&E and they literally shut off our power when it gets windy outside because they want to avoid another lawsuit. Looks like they've always been a garbage company.
yep, I’m a vet tech and we’ve had them shut off our power with no warning while we were in the middle of surgery because it was windy. It’s happened more than once. maybe they should service their power lines more often so they don’t have to shut off everyone’s power to avoid a lawsuit 😐
@@luv4softball99 yiiiikes oh my god that sounds awful
@@luv4softball99 They should be sued for that... I HATE that company after watching the movie and now hate them even more... They are a legally allowed to kill ppl or risk lives and animals by the sounds of things and just payout millions and keep on going... How is that OK???
This is why you shouldn't envy anyone.
Sounds like she married him for money. Now that he’s being sued, she leaves him. I believe she knew and she just didn’t care. She has always seemed like a horrible person.
Something about me says that they have bank accounts overseas, and they won’t show the bank statements yet, but they will later after all the money is transferred. I know tons of rich families who embezzle money & send them overseas so no one can track it. Wolf of Wall Street is a good example of this.
I think she filed because it was the only way to walk away with money and have Tom join her later if the stress of it all didnt kill him.
Of course they do…
@@karenbeee4568 Ohhh. I Hope not. Why would you.. do that!! Divorce costs you a lot and should be a decision that comes from your intuition (after having gone off of energy first). It usually affects one more than the other in many forms. Brividi I don’t think I could ever do it in an insincere manner. Right now I wish I had persons 100 percent in my corner to help me get out of gong hospital and go back to milton. Wish persons had of helped beforehand really. Cptsdhiatushernia intangible bs led me here. Ouch.
I worked at a nursing home and there was a woman with Alzheimer’s and she had spent ALL of her family’s millions and had no recollection of doing so. They lost everything slowly over time because she was losing her memory and ability to make rational decisions. Her husband and family had no clue that she was mentally ill. Sometimes these things go unnoticed until it’s too late. So terrible for all of the victims involved.
I saw that on a show once called The Affair
Yes . On a lower level the same happened in my family . Father with dementia giving tens of thousands of dollars away to a younger (30yrs) " girl friend " (who is married to someone else).
Yes that is a sad state of affairs, but what does that have to do with these disgusting people?
@@Mirrorgirl492 It has to do with the fact that Tommy may very well have been blowing money while suffering dementia that went unnoticed as, in the cases above, it can and does happen.
That's not the case here. There is evidence that his fraud and stealing victim money has been going since like the 90's. Watch Emily d bakers videos on it. She goes over court filings and was an attorney for 10 years. Even his diagnosis is odd because of how the Dr labeled it. Although, if he is sick, it might explain why things fell apart now and not sooner
She actually slipped him her number, she knew exactly what she was doing. The assistant did call and that’s when Erika started playing hard to get.
Lmfao
lol
This is such a sad case 😢 people can be so disgusting when money is involved
Can’t Erica be held in contempt for not showing up to court? Is he possibly hiding money? Maaaaaaan this is sad
My thought exactly. Any of us nobodys did that they'd come, and arrest us! He was hiding money by putting it into her "company" and courts just ruled the families can sue HER for settlement money. I sure hope they do! She has no "career" without buying it. It's not based on talent. She is gross. Never liked her. She's got a dark evil streak in her. She is no pop star. It's like vanity publishing. Same thing.
Literally was thinking how she wasn’t arrested for that because I’ve seen many people get arrested for not showing up to court. Rich privilege I guess
He’s an old man now. Money doesn’t matter, he lived his glamorous life. Pathetic!
Everyone going after Erika and her $20M, but what about the billion dollar law firm that he owns? The company must've known and have culpability in this as well. Much better to sue them to get the millions owed.
Erika having to downsize her living situation is literally a slap on the wrist for people like her. She's very lucky it didnt end in jail time.
It's not even close to being over for her yet. It's just heating up.
This isn’t even close to over. The forensic accountant for the law firm estimates that it will take at least another 6 months to work out all the numbers because apparently Girardi&Keese still kept a _paper_ ledger.
Funny how it’s never about the money until the money runs out.
Can’t say I ever feel bad though. Maybe one day men will learn that women 20 or 30 years their juniors are NEVER in it for love. You’re paying for your ego. Period.
That's why I have no sympathy for old men who date/marry young women.
Preach!
They always swear up and down it’s for love too. We all know the truth lol. She wouldn’t have looked twice at him if he had been broke.
@Melanated Princess Yep, true enough. It’s kind of like legal prostitution if you think about it lol
I used to like Erika. Even though she loved to live luxuriously she seemed the most down to earth since she came from a working class background. Sadly, she has seemed to forget all about that…
Me too
Same here maybe she was acting all this time. She seems down to earth very humble guess she was acting
These kind of ppl can get Seriously messed up when they suddenly get loads of money and haven't been used to handle it and all that comes with it
It’s amazing how Tom suddenly has memory issues right when he is about to face all these charges.
Totally off topic for this video, but I think you should do a video on the 215 children found in Kamloops B.C. there's so much more too the story, it involves indigenous people of North America and I really feel like this is something that should be talked about and should have some light shined on it. Me and many fellow indigenous peoples would appreciate if you did a video covering that.
Please give it the title" the catholic church. Canada. Génocide.". A thousand and counting of first nations peaple ; children murdered thrown away like trash. Surviors never believed
They ( the Catholic church) Hid behind the cross. Alowed pédophiles and murders to thrive.
She has a email usually pinned at the top for this.
@@spaceycasey2225 I know, Ive emailed her about this before and nothing, so imma comment on her videos about it.
I 2nd this comment! There's never enough spotlight on indigenous issues. We are forgotten or told to "get over it!"
I agree, Im a canadian metis indigenous woman. Canadian government and the catholic churches abuse of the entire Indigenous race!!! and this issue has occured within our grandparents and parents era
The money is in a “offshore” account. No one can spend that much money
Yep exactly! Just like the Sacklers money and then they file for bankruptcy. Garbage people. No consequences for the extremely wealthy.
I agree
That aspect reminds me of the wolf of Wall Street
Tom spent a lot of the money on his own vices as well. All the houses, parties, box offices, country club memberships, suits, watches, house staff, restaurants, spousal support etc…
Don't forget his biggest expense...The Trophy Wife.
He is greedy. She had no clue he was fraudulently
I’ve recently discovered your channel and done a bit of a deep dive of your videos all of which are excellent! You have such a gift with narration of events as well as have such a care for the victims of these cases you present. Love, love, love your channel!
Honestly, when you look at their marriage, I wonder how much she did know. It’s hard for me to understand that the lawyers who worked with Tom didn’t know this was happening.
Yeah? I was wondering the same thing. Don’t they have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure the firm is always on the up and up?
Apparently up until recently Tom handled all the firms accounting himself on a paper ledger
Imagine knowing where the money came from then going on a show and releasing a song thats based on how wealthy you are, talk about f*cked up, rubbing it in the victims face 🤢
Being that I am the actual daughter of Dirty John, I thoroughly appreciated your “Dirty Tom” joke. 💀😂
Hope you and your family are doing well!!
😭😭 I hadn’t even noticed. Also hope y’all are doing well!
Prove it
@@lgarza186 she was in kendells video?
@@lgarza186 she doesn't have to prove sh!t to you.
I love how Kendall’s pup is always laying about in the background lol.
A judge ruled that the victims can collect from Erika!!!! Now that's JUSTICE. she benefited greatly from those victims. It's just devastatingly sad that those people have to deal with the unbelievable trauma, which is just life shattering, but to also have to deal with & process what Tom did to them too. It breaks my heart for those people. And it was done for what cuz she wanted to b a fucking pop star. Tom & Erika felt that her dream was more important then the victims of horrific tragedies. They SHOULD be able to get their money from her. And I don't believe for one second he is broke, without a doubt He's got off shore accounts. This makes me so mad that there are people that will do this to other people. People that are already going thru unimaginable pain & grief. Tom & Erika deserve what they get & much much more. Idk if she knew he was taking people's settlement money however I don't think she would've cared or been bothered in the least. Those two are a special kind of evil.
THE RICH PEOPLE IN CALI AND NEW YORK HAVE HUGE EGO'S AND ARE SICK
PURE EVIL....BOTH OF THEM!
