(BBM above): I don't understand with respect to the money FD borrowed and has not paid back to JD's parents, and GF suing him to repay over $2mil in loans they gave him, why he / his lawyers would fail to appear at the depositions, and would want JD's medical records and to file to dismiss the case. What do financial contracts between FD and his in-laws have to do with JD?
Just curious what the angle here might be. IIRC FD said in response to the lawsuit that he thought the money was a "gift", not a "loan" but still there has to be contractual paperwork with the money having been transferred between them and / or GF's lawyers have documentation of some sort, and again, what does JD have to do with any of it besides being married to him -- she didn't work for Fore Group or handle the money one would think. JMO.
ETA: I dearly hope that this move isn't leading up to a "he said / she said" situation where he says the money was a gift and JD told him that, and she is not here to counter anything he claims.
Don't worry.
IMO, JD's father, Hilliard Farber did not get his wealth by being stupid.
There are signed contracts between FD and JD's Father, HF in regards to the
Loans.
They were posted here, several threads back and Hilliard even put into the documents that FD had to make the loan payments,
In Person, to Hilliard in NYC.
If FD wants to say that the loans were gifts, then why did FD make and continue making payments on them?
FD would pay off one loan to HF and then obtain another loan for the next project.
FD knew full well that these were Loans and Not gifts.
Just because HF died, it does not absolve FD of any responsibility of making those loan payments to HF's estate.
In regards to 4JC, HF and GF signed as guarantors of either a construction loan or a straight mortgage loan and FD along with JD signed those documents.
FD then stopped payments on 4JC in late 2018. If this was also a gift, then why did FD continue payments on 4JC for over 1.5 years past the death of HF?
IF ALL of these Loans were gifts, then why did FD make Payments on these gifts?
As for not appearing at court in regards to these Loans, FD is going to use the excuse 'I did not know' about the court date.
IMO, this is a STALL Tactic to extend the case.
His prior attorney handling the suit from GF, abandoned ship and IMO, FD thinks he can just use that as a reason that he did not know about the court date.
The prior attorney was served notice at least two weeks in advance and it is also said that FD was also served notice at 4JC two weeks in advance.
