So, Tommy doesn't want to continue reports on the health and safety of his daughter to the courts. You think he'd be bending over backwards for them since through Stella is the only chance that murderer has of getting any of the $ he thinks he deserves for his completed job.

Excellent breakdown. I like how you see it. 👏No worries about that ajaylee, Indonesia does not recognize babies born in their country to foreign guests as citizens of the country.
HM will need to get and continuously renew a Visa for both her and Stella to stay in the country upon her release from prison. I'd like to believe they would automatically deport a convicted felon from their country at the time of their release from prison but something tells me they will not. Especially if this foreign felon is sitting on a million dollars courtesy of her pawn..oops I mean daughter. It will also not surprise me if she gains early release, with parole to be served in the country, on humanitarian grounds, to raise her little bundle of cash...oops...I mean daughter.
As for TS, I believe we've seen the Daily Mail article that there might be trouble in paradise for the lovebirds and perhaps this is the first inkling that this might be true. HM is receiving "care packages" from Stella's "volunteer" attorney (???) over there in Bali so of course she's good with continuing this practice, especially if funds are cut off. TS is receiving nothing it seems. And he's pissed off with HM so he wants her to receive nothing as well. At the same time, perhaps he wants them to do something to get Stella out of the prison and out of the country? If she's not going to be his cash cow, then he sure doesn't want her to be HM's.
MOO
I've googled, but I found no updates on Robert bibs. Did look at his Facebook page, it's under Robert Ryan. But he doesn't say anything about court.

Its so many *advertiser censored**ed people in this world killing kids, innocents, mass murderers... Why can't my people die from old age instead of in a system or murdered
eta: You may that even though the FBI went to Bali to investigate, the Indonesians were 'persuaded' to ignore the incriminating text messages because they allegedly might have been tampered with. As I posted earlier, there's no way the FBI's taking RB to trial without having already verified the authenticity of the messages.
Very interesting! Thanks so much for this review of the Bibb person, I had somehow missed this part. I had to stop reading about this case because baby momma and baby daddy drama was taking away from Sheila's murder. JmoRobert Bibbs is TS's cousin - the one who took TS to the airport.
The FBI arrested him and he has been placed on home confinement until his trial and forbidden to talk about the case or contact folks involved (HM and TS).
RB had 'advised' HM about the best way to murder her mother and get away with it. IIRC, HM first started trying to find a contract killer in February. RB was hoping for a cut of HM's money.
RB and TS were texting as TS was standing outside SWM's hotel room door on the fatal night. RB texted encouragement, and after the deed was done, texted TS that it was OK to not feel bad about killing SWM, because she wasn't a good person.
I believe he's charged with 'conspiracy to commit murder'. You should scroll back a few pages and read the texts the FBI presented to the court already. Apparently what's on the affidavit is only a small part of what they'll bring up in court.
On the day he was arrested, in front of FBI agents, TS called RB. The FBI told him to take the call - TS told RB "don't say a word" - right in front of the FBI.
This is all very important. HM and TS and RB are now dealing with the feds, not Indonesian corruption or US incompetence. All three of them could be subject to the same charges, based on the text messages. That means that even if she gets out early, HM likely will still face federal charges if she returns to the US.
I think the maximum sentence for this is 20 years, although RB probably won't get anywhere near that. HM and TS won't get off so easy.

Respectfully snipped by me
I cant believe this saga is still playing out - :facepalm: (I've been away for a while)...
Agreed ajaylee -
Its probably a good thing that the FBI went quiet on this publicly and it didn't come out in the Bali trial - or wasn't needed as the Courts in Bali had enough evidence to get them a sentence anyway.
As I recall also, criminals cannot stay in Bali after their detention, they are deported back to their Country of origin - so if there are charges pending, HM may have an FBI escort back to the USA if there are charges pending, because she is a flight risk.
TS has already taken a hit for HM (well, HM's $$$) - will RB do the same? Or will he do anything he can to protect himself?
I think Bibbs will sing like a canary to protect himself. Obviously TS is worried about that too since he told Bibbs, "don't tell them anything" when he answered the phone in front of the feds.
TS and Bibbs thought HM had ELEVEN million dollars. Turns out, the trust, (which she hopefully won't get), was only worth $1.56M. A third has now been spent. So, the trust is down to a million bucks, which is still a lot of money to TS and Bibbs. However, I am sure that TS has figured out that he has no claim to the money. He's not married to HM. Bibbs truly has no claim. I think he was relying on TS's generosity.
If Stella gets the money, TS may be hoping he can get his hands it. But HM is a master manipulator. Stella will be 10 when HM gets out, (if not sooner). Stella will be 18 when TS gets out. That gives HM 8 years to spend all Stella's money. Not that I think it will even come to this. Let's face it-the lawyers are gonna get a huge chunk. Judge Cohen seems in tune with this and wants to preserve funds for Stella. But, I don't think there will be that much left for her.
