Excellent question
BEARS10. One argument could be the 100K was given as a gift, prior to any criminal act, so she gets to keep it.
Someone else might argue that he owes money to the IRS and he was attempting to hide it by sending the money to a foreign country.
Hmmm....buys his gf a ticket, but tells cosmotologist
"he would like to go, but can't"....
the law now requires the IRS to advise the State Department about seriously delinquent taxpayers. The State Department may then refuse to issue or renew a passport for a seriously delinquent taxpayer;
the Secretary of State is also permitted to revoke any passport previously issued to a seriously delinquent taxpayer.
How can "motive" be found, when maybe even SP does not know what compelled him to commit this depravity? Maybe "motive" should be replaced with the term "cause/causes." Lots of subjects discussed: alcohol, valium, psychopath, paranoia etc.... surely many forensic psychologists are being consulted, as well as medical doctors, too.
Clumsiness....falling in the casino
High Blood Pressure....thought he was allergic to medicine and quit taking it...so he couldn't renew his pilot's license, per info from brother.

Mental Illness can appear in 40's (Stole that info from post #986 by HmsHood!)
Paranoia, not interacting with people, personality beginning to change etc.. ..
"The most characteristic feature of BD is psychomotor slowness - an increase in the length of time it takes, for example, for the fingers to turn the thought of a letter into the shape of a letter on a piece of paper. Other symptoms include forgetfulness (
but not as severe as the forgetfulness of Alzheimer's disease), changes in speech, an unsteady gait, clumsiness or frequent falls, changes in personality or mood (most likely in the form of apathy, irritability, and depression), and urinary symptoms that aren't caused by urological disease."

SP is dead, so I don't see a problem with trying to figure out what medical conditions he might have been experiencing.
BD starts slowly in the 4th decade of life (in your 40's for simplicity) -- hypertension (high blood pressure) and alcohol are two factors that can exacerbate the progression.
Well, its 3am right now...and I still want to read more posts. G'night.
