Respectfully snipped for space:
8 Sept 2017 – Taylor allegedly seen with backpacks containing $30,000 in cash and $30,000 in cashier’s checks. She got the money and checks out of a friend’s safe deposit box at Wells Fargo Bank. The friend who took her to the bank is the same one who lent her the moving truck. (AbuDrake posts #47, #55, #113, 283, #285, #331, #372 Thread 1)
Even if this money sounds like a small amount to you, please consider this from Taylor’s perspective. This is all that remains from a very solid financial portfolio...we had a net worth of over $500k in our early 30s. This is all she has left of the nest egg that she’d guarded and grown over the years...very much like a D&D storyline dragon, come to think of it, in that the hoarding of treasure is a hobby and an obsession...the end goal is to amass and guard the stuff, not to spend it.
So losing what remains -or any part of it- is a tremendous emotional blow to her. She went from scoffing at my initial offer of $3500 a month and $200k in assets (plus a share of my military retirement), to getting $75k in cash and having to pay ME $700 a month. Can you imagine how that must feel? It all came crashing down around her. Don’t focus on the amounts - having to pay me a dime is a tremendous blow to her. The act of writing a check for any amount -even once- would be devastating.
AbuDrake, thank you for all of your input.
Frankly, what you have written above scares the heck out of me.
If the accounts by 'horse friend' are to be believed, that means that once Taylor got the money from horse friends SD box, she then what... plopped a backpack full of cash somewhere and went to ride a horse? Was comfortable carrying that amount of cash while riding in an Uber? Took it into a bar with her?
These actions do not mesh with a woman who is guarding her money like a dragon guards gold.
Can you imagine a situation where she would be so flippant with that amount of cash?
