Yes, 2017 was the year that everything financial fell apart for FD.
Mr. F. died, JD initiates divorce, income cut off for FD.
Another clue to me is that in state records where officers or
principals file their annual statement to maintain registration with state of Ct., no one bothered to file their annual statement
for 2017. Nor for 2018. His corporation would likely be
automatically dissolved by state if this wasn't brought current
within a certain period of time.
This failure to file tells me there was no one paying attention
to the administration of the ForeGroup corporation. Things
were just hanging financially. Employees left and/or were let go
because he could no longer pay them. His empire was crumbling.
I believe 2017 is when he started his plan to eradicate JD. moo.
