I understood that River made the check(s) out to cash and she cashed it at her bank. She then gave the cash to George. Another she said, with no way of proving that this ever happened. I personally don't believe that she ever gave George money, or that she had an affair with him. It really pisses me off that NE paid this woman for an article containing information that hasn't been proved and which IMO will never be proven (if in fact they did).
