Bankrupt Casey Anthony interviewed by KPHO CBS in Phoenix #2

[?noanswer]

Trying to keep this in the guidelines but wanted it in writing for posterity since stories can change or disappear -

CA is to pay to her BK estate $25,000 to avoid having to write her life story.

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/anthony-paying-25000-avoid-writing-life-story/nY98h/

That doesn't make sense. In the beginning, the trustee was going to sell the rights to her story, but she was not going to write them. The reason the person made an offer for her story rights was so that she could not benefit from them from a whole bunch of ways to tell a story. At least that is the way I understood it. I wonder if the paper meant to say "sell" instead of "write".

This article does say sell, which makes more sense.

Reading the Teresa and Joe Giudice (Real Housewives of NJ), which included a bunch of income they hid while filing for Bankruptcy made me fantasize that someday we will see such an indictment for FCA.

 

[RR0004]

I agree. If she had not gone into hiding and worked on something positive such as getting a job instead of plotting how to beat the system once again, she might be able to support herself by now. As it is she has no visible means of support and I think when this BK is finalized, then most of the people that have been taking care of her will move on get on with their lives. I can't believe this many people have been taking care of her for this long.

IMPO, she deserves nothing. She should be living in the woods scrounging through trash for food.

The reason I posted that link was because I wondered if it meant that she wouldn't write her story at all, which I felt sure that her lawyers didn't mean. Your link does make more sense.

 

[RR0004]

Exactly!
No subpoena or deposition to question her finances. Only simple "discussions" -- with a CONVICTED LIAR who LIED to law enforcement repeatedly!

No subpoena or deposition of her attorneys to find hidden assets.
No turning over her computer to search for assets.
No sale of her video and audio diaries and photos as assets.
No questioning of Baez' Claim of $ 500,000.

Mind boggling!

...and now that the Judge has ruled and the media has picked the story up, you would think that SOMEONE in MSM would go after the information the Trustee had, but refused to persue.

 

[MissJ]

There are no 'friends' supporting her - her money comes from her parents.
No adult is going to be permanently supported financially by any other person unless it's your spouse or your parents. They are all living off Dr Phil blood money.

Certainly I agree that that is part of it,but she was living well before her parents got the Dr Phil money. Knowing that family the Dr. P money is long gone. JMO:twocents:

 

[MissJ]

Plus who gets all those FREE Lawyers?

Except without the living part.

Her parents were on the Dr PHil show on Sept 13th 2011, so she had not long been out of jail. Knowing her she was writing checks/using visa on their account until her Dr Phil money came through. Some kind person made a payment on her Baez bill of $10,113 soon after that appearance. If it wasn't her parents I don't know who these people are who are falling over themselves to donate money. I never met anyone like that.....!

I understood she gave $25K in order to retain the rights to tell her own story....? The Trustee originally wanted to sell the rights to the highest bidder but that idea foundered when they couldn't find any precedent and I imagine didn't want to spend the time/money to establish whether it would be legal.

 

[skbsoccermom]

So much for the thorough job I thought the bankruptcy court was going to do. I can't believe they didn't even make baez prove he is owed that money .... ESPECIALLY after his 'client' said under oath that she doesn't believe she owes him anything ... AND there is an agreement on the record that he would not receive additional money above the $89,000! Couple that with the fact that a destitute claimant ( and CONVICTED liar) came up with 25 grand in the blink of an eye.

Really? None of this makes anyone suspicious?

Once again, this stinks to high heaven, and I am disgusted. All the good, deserving people, like Tim Miller will get stiffed, and FCA will be free to cash in.

I never thought I could feel such contempt towards an individual in my life!

 

[CanManEh]

Little O/T here but i was wondering other then all this bankruptsy stuff has there been any news directly about her like where she lives now does she have a bf clearly no job lol but have people seen her out anywhere last i remember was that picture of her out to dinner with i believe it was steve austin 316 the wrestler mind you he might have just been security though..????????????????????????/

AFAIK the last time any pictures of her were when she attended the first BK hearing.

The BK court only did enough to make sure they had a payday. The way they handled this whole thing was a farce. I can see CA doing a high five as she walks away from everything with the ability to write/sell/do whatever she wants.

Too bad she didn't use all this time since she was acquitted to better her job skills instead of trying to figure out ways to stiff all these people.

Good to know if you ever have to file bankruptcy- it's just a formality. You can come up with $25K overnight if you need it to protect your own assets, with no one challenging how you managed to do that ( and if they do just say an imaginary friend) and still walk away from all your debts.

If it was questionable that CA's story could be sold to others, how can it be sold to her?

I believe what she and her lawyers did not want to happen was to take the issue (the motion filed by the Trustee to sell her life story) to court and Lose.

They did not want a BK judge ruling that her story was part of the estate and the Trustee could sell it.

So they came to an agreement that she would pay the Trustee instead and he then must have agreed to withdraw the motion.

I could be wrong..but that's how it seems to me.

It's just me but I think it was the other way around. We know the Judge tossed the Trustee's first motion back to him as not-do-able, and told him to try again or work with FCA's lawyers to come to some kind of agreement.

It was always touch and go whether or not the Trustee could even get a ruling on something that didn't exist yet, to say nothing of trying to have a claim on her personal thoughts and interpretations so I think he settled for the only sure thing in sight - since there was nothing else in sight in "the estate" to claim.
IMO:moo:

 

[logicalgirl]

Spent a few minutes looking around for what US Trustees can and can't do. Thought this might be interesting reading - particularly that they are paid $60.00 per bankruptcy and then must recoup their expenses and time from "commissions".

Found here: http://www.nabt.com/faq.cfm#Q11

As much as I would have liked the Trustee to find information out there that FCA has a lot of money stashed away someplace - it seems pretty clear that rumours and suggestions sent to him could not be backed up by solid evidence. And maybe there isn't anything out there - yet.

IMO:moo:
