CANADA Canada - Billionaire Couple Barry & Honey Sherman Murdered at Home, Toronto, 15 Dec 2017 #24

[MerlinFalcon]

Kerry, how do you know he had dementia? I don’t think I’ve seen this said anywhere before. How does someone with dementia work such long days, especially into late night.

 

[ldlager]

Becoming easily angered is a part of dementia, and I can vouch for that with a relative's experience. B had multiple financial problems, while H wanted to spend to build another mansion. Lots of reasons for him, but no financial reason for others.

It is estimated that BS had a personal net worth of up to $10 billion. This includes his interest in Apotex. The liabilities you reference are Apotex’ liabilities, not liabilities of BS personally. I have no doubt that BS had a personal net worth, excluding Apotex, of several billion dollars. By any standard, BS did not have financial problems. He did not waste money, and he couldnt have spent his money in his lifetime, even if he built ten new houses.
There is no indication from any reliable or verifiable source that BS suffered from dementia. There are posters here who I suspect knew BS well, and no one has ever raised this. Only KW has brought this up, to support his theory that this was a M/S. I don’t believe BS killed anyone. MOO

 

[Kerry Winter]

Barry didn’t have dementia, and no one close to him has said he had any anger issues.

Wrong!

 

[Kerry Winter]

Kerry, how do you know he had dementia? I don’t think I’ve seen this said anywhere before. How does someone with dementia work such long days, especially into late night.

I sat across from my cousin during an examination for discovery a few months before the bodies were found: he was losing his mind! Also, let’s not forget his own son trying to remove him from decision making at Apotex having him declared incompetent and not of sound mind. His own son had legitimate concerns. Helps explain Frank D’Angelo yelling and abusing Barry and playing him for a fool. I don’t think anyone in this forum is aware of their relationship and how Barry was “fleeced” for hundreds of millions. That’s right! With his garbage films and beer. The “perfect storm” had engulfed Barry at the time he went off the deep end and killed Honey. The walls were caving in. I’ve posted here and have never altered my view or prediction: there will NEVER be an arrest/nobody will collect the 35 million.
As Brian Greenspan told me during our only phone chat, “ l was paid to do a job”. And, what an orchestrated “cover up” he accomplished. Greenspan is a liar and a snake.
Lastly, l truly hope K. Donovan gets my Q+A with Detective B. Price. We chatted for over 3 hours. I quite enjoyed sticking my thumbs in his eyes making him look like an idiot. Don’t think the transcript will be released! Even when l granted full permission and affirmed an affidavit with the lawyer at the Toronto Star. The judge is stalling…..strange.

Barry Sherman's cousin says he knows why his murder remains unsolved

The murder of billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife Honey remains unsolved nearly eight years later. His cousin tells DailyMail.com why the immense resources the police used won't cut it.

www.dailymail.co.uk

'You have to understand this. Barry had dementia. Barry was losing his mind,' Winter alleges.
'He was losing big lawsuits. His kids weren't talking to him. His two major plants were being shut down. It goes on and on and on.
'There was a perfect storm circling around my cousin's head. Everything was pointing in one direction: He was about to snap and kill his wife.'
Winter was once so close to Barry – formerly Canada's 12th richest man with a $3.2billion fortune – that he considered him a father figure.
But the pair were bitterly estranged at the time of the killings and Winter later admitted that he disliked the mogul so much that he should be considered the 'prime suspect'.

Barry Sherman’s son raised concerns about Apotex founder’s investment strategy and business competence: Sources

After billionaire Barry Sherman and his son Jonathon were exchanging tense emails about how the family fortune should be spent, sources say Jonathon sent an email to his siblings suggesting their father’s actions were jeopardizing their inheritance.

www.thestar.com

2019
''In the spring of 2015, upset with what he saw as reckless business decisions, Apotex billionaire Barry Sherman’s son Jonathon floated the idea to his three siblings that their father was incompetent and unable to manage the family’s business affairs, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter.
This came at a time when Jonathon and Barry were having tense discussions about how the Sherman family fortune should be spent.''

That’s a kinder response than I had regarding the DM article. It was frustrating to read the lies in it. And they couldn’t even bother to put the correct photo of the Shermans’ home, never mind fact-check the other inaccuracies.

Just to clear up another lie from that article —all of Barry’s children were talking to him and had holiday plans with him and Honey (except for Lauren who was in Mexico). It was reported that no matter how busy he was, he’d always take their calls.

If Barry was in any way incompetent to participate in that hearing, his lawyer & the judge (if a judge was present) wouldn’t have allowed him to proceed, imo.

We know this because of the process you went through:

“Kerry Winter, cousin of murdered billionaire Barry Sherman, will be assessed to determine if he has a mental “disability” that would prevent him from representing himself in an ongoing case to claim a share of the Apotex founder’s riches.[…]

Kerry Winter — who earlier this year made the shocking allegation that Sherman twice asked him in the 1990s to kill his wife, Honey — may require a “litigation guardian” to oversee his part of the case. But two affidavits that would shed light on comments about Winter’s mental state are sealed from public view. The Sherman family’s lawyer wants them unsealed.”

“I did not approve of Kerry’s recent statements to the press. I attribute it to his illness,” his Vancouver sister-in-law wrote in her affidavit.[…]

Teplitsky asked the court to require Winter to undergo a mental health examination to see whether the Office of the Public Guardian should be appointed as his litigation guardian. He’s now agreed to the assessment.“

Barry was never subject to those types of concerns. His son at some point thought Barry was mismanaging his money because he was financing FDA. When KD asked Jonathon about that, Jonathon said he wasn’t serious, he was trying to provoke a response from Barry.

 

[Lexiintoronto]

Wrong!

Why didn’t his doctor mention that to the police, and how was Barry able to keep his driver’s license if he had dementia, as you claim?

If full disclosure is considered so desirable and important, and in order to help us understand what is being alleged and posted here, perhaps the results of that assessment and the contents of the two associated affidavits should be made public also?

bbm
If it wasn't meant serious, then JS wouldn't have tried to get his sisters on his side re the application for incompetence of their father. Afaik, JS tried to convince his sisters, and that wouldn't have been a joke, IMO.

Barry had financial problems? Barry could walk into any bank in the world, and by pledging his Apotex shares, he would be lent Billions.

Barry may have had some cash flow problems, that he could solve with a few phone calls or emails, like the one he sent to Jonathon.

The only person who publicly expressed Barry had dementia problems was Jonathon.

Jonathon was a problem for Barry, especially when Jonathon did not make any attempt to return Barry's money by finding alternative funding.

If Barry continued to live, what was Jonathon's plan to return the money Barry has asked for?

 

[Kerry Winter]

Strange; the JCC here in North York around the corner from where l live is the Honey and Barry Sherman Campus. Having her name before Barry’s isn't the norm. A matter of fact: NEVER happens. I guess the children wanted Honey’s name before his: wonder why.

Just to be fair: was the money Barry gave to JS a “gift” at that time, or a lend/business loan?

Looking at is from anyone’s perspective. If I borrow on “return when you’ll get rich” terms, it is treated like a windfall from a rich and generous dad.

If it is formally lended, it is another issue.
Then I am obliged to make payments at a certain time. Interest, too.

But if it was not formally lended, and now suddenly the person demands a return, it would put anyone in a difficult situation.

What I mean, Barry doesn’t come across as demented, but probably constant stress made him impulsive.

If he did the same with other people, informally financed and then out of a sudden could demand it back, then too many people could get angry. Not only the family. I just think someone did, eventually, but with Barry’s unpredictability, he could turn a friend into an enemy, it seems.

I found only the "Sherman Campus", neither Honey nor Barry mentioned within the name of the foundation. Maybe, it is the short form and the original name is indeed "Honey and Barry S.", Idk.

My thoughts were: IF perhaps Alex had her say re the foundation and the naming, I can imagine, that she chose both their names and for etiquette the female name of her mother first. MOO

Barry's, traditional method of handing out money was as a demand loan. Often times a written agreement was involved. Much of the money that went to FD'A in the early years was secured by the bottling assets that Frank owned. The fact that Barry asked his son to mortgage the property through commercial banks and return Barry's money, leads one to believe that Barry understood this was a demand loan.

It is my understanding that Barry believed Jon had needed to $40 million (not sure the exact amount) to buy real estate. In fact the cost of the real estate was millions less that what Barry lent Jon. Jon was using the remaining money to become 'a lender of last resort', so to speak. People who needed quick funding to keep projects going and willing to pay above average interest rates to Jon were the target clientele. It is my understanding that this was a lucrative business for Jon, and I do not think Barry was aware of this.

Since the value of the real estate Jon purchased, was much less than he had received from Barry, if Jon went and received mortgage money from a bank, he would be short millions of what he owed Barry. In fact Jon did not approach any banks for mortgage money.

How was Jon going to resolve this?

MOO

It’s a red herring, lots of people put the woman first.

An assertion like that should be supported by evidence, but that’s not possible in this situation.

lol. Pretzel logic. If the family really believed BS murdered HS, why would they even put Barry’s name in the campus name at all?
