Murray also filed a similar objection opposing attorney Richard Weinstein’s attempts to force Fotis Dulos to supply other financial information, including the money source for his criminal defense team.
Murray contends the financial information sought by Gloria Farber’s attorney has nothing to do with the potential outcome of the lawsuits.
“The defendants object to this request on the grounds that it is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence,” Murray said repeatedly in his motion asking judge to deny Weinstein’s demands for information on how he was paying his criminal defense team.

Weinstein contended in court filings that Fotis Dulos
supplied contradictory information about his finances as part of the lawsuits and is trying to “
disseminate” his assets as part of his divorce to Jennifer Dulos. He was seeking a forensic review of the Fore Group, which Fotis Dulos claims has had no income for months.
Weinstein is also seeking documentation dating back to January 2017 to support expense reimbursements from the Fore Group to Fotis Dulos. Weinstein also
wants records indicating how Fotis Dulos is paying his criminal defense team, including Pattis, a high-profile criminal defense and civil rights attorney, and private investigator Patrick McKenna who often works on celebrity cases, and all documents given to the defense team about a Fidelity retirement account.

The lawsuits are slated to go to trial in December. Murray called Weinstein’s attempts to get the financial information an “extreme burden” and a form of harassment against his client and the Fore Group.
