Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #32

@AishaMbTV

Yesterday a paralegal on the stand said they found #FotisDulos reimbursed himself more than 2 million. Today Fotis says there are discrepancies in her calculations and all his reimbursements were business expenses.
@FOX61News

@davealtimari
Fotis Dulos back on the stand and he has produced AMEX records that weren’t produced previously which show that he repaid the Fore Group for some of expenses that were listed yesterday by attorney Weinstein as personal expenses.

If his business is so distressed, how could he possibly have had in excess of 2 million dollars in business expenses? He isn’t doing anything, for probably the last two years

 

[kimch33kim]

no worries at all - I also wanted to post that the amount was up to $15,000 (one poster indicated 11K IIRC?) all good

Thank you for doing that! I wanted to add a better example. If HF gifted $1M to FD, HF would be paying taxes on the amount after the allowed annual amount to gift. Does that make sense? If HF didn’t pay gift taxes for that amount, and the IRS found out they will then chase FD to pay taxes on it. But if HF paid it then FD pays nothing. I hope this clears things up.

Dulos says he’d pay personally for ex gf Michelle Troconis, her daughter to travel on business trips with him

Defense laying out case that jet-set travel by Fotis Dulos on company funds was business, not pleasure

FD’s stock answer is going to be :
I paid for everything on my business CC but, reimbursed Fore for any Personal Expenses. He will produce 1 deposit slip showing this to be true and Judge will probably buy it.
Moo

The financial disclosure in Family Court was always at issue IMO and never fully resolved by Judge Heller. The FD submission to Family Court was very clearly crafted to portray 'financial distress' and 'absence of income' to support his narrative in Family Court dispute with Jennifer Dulos IMO. The quality of FD financial disclosure was also at issue as he hadn't filed tax returns for 2 years and he seemed to do his own bookkeeping and didn't have either reviewed or audited financial statements either for himself personally or FORE Group. In short, disclosure from FD was questionable at best and even JD attorneys in direct examination of FD couldn't seem to make any progress to sort it all out in Family Court. There is also the issue in Family Court that FD submitted a vastly different financial picture of himself and FORE to his bank (Farmington/Peoples Bank) for purposes of loans etc. It seemed that there was one set of disclosure for the banks and another set of disclosure for the divorce and there was a large gap between the 2. The incomplete disclosure was clear in the Family Court IMO but I do wonder if we might see fraud charges or any other charges for the disclosure made to the banks?

As is being seen in the Civil case now, FD was spending quite a bit of money on himself and MT/Daughter while pleading poverty in Family Court. Where did this money come from? Did FD get this money from friend/s or family? Does MT know where the money came from? Did MT contribute ANYTHING financially to FD? Its all a black hole IMO and seeing yet more chaos on financial matters in Civil Court is disturbing as it appears FD and his Atty BM did not follow usual rules of discovery. Not sure why Judge is allowing this all to go on in this matter as its IMO making a mockery of court procedure.

MOO

I wish Gitana was here to explain why Judge Noble may be allowing these things to be entered into evidence, when he knows they should have been produced during discovery. I hate the thought of FD getting away with stealing from the Farbers, evading the taxes we all have to pay, and defrauding a number of banks, not to mention the fraud committed by filing a different set of financial records in the divorce (that he now doesn’t need)

Richard Weinstein begins his cross of Fotis Dulos. Asks if he’s been truthful in his testimony. Then brings up a judge in the divorce case has found that he’s lied under oath in that case

yes, it does. thank you!

@gitana1 if you have time today??

What I am thinking is that since this is a judge trial not a jury trial, he may be a bit more lenient on discovery? we shall see what the experts say - I don't know if @riolove77 is following along here but would definitely know - being a prosecutor and all.

And there should be evidence that HF paid those taxes on those “gifts” ; I’m sure HF’s accountant would have an entry for that.

@MarissaAlter
Fotis disagrees. Says he "respectfully disagreed with the judge" in that case.

@davealtimari
Weinstein asking Dulos if we had ever filed a false bank statement or testified falsely. Dulos says to “best of my knowledge” always filed true financial statements. He said he “respectfully disagreed with judge” in family court.

Is he a liar or telling the truth? Gloria Farber’s attorney attacking credibility of her son-in-law, bringing up that he was found to have lied under oath previously

@MarissaAlter

Fotis acknowledges the tax returns say there were loans from Hilliard Farber but says that classification is not accurate.

Weinstein is now going through the Fore Group taxes with Fotis, pointing to the notes of “loan from Hilliard Farber” year after year, including after 2010, which is when Dulos said Farber told him future money would no longer be loans.

 

[afitzy]

I think that is the issue, the gift statements filed by the Farber entities were reviewed and they were part of the discovery process that provided this information to FD. I'm not sure how if the Farber entities didn't disclose any such gifts to FD totalling anywhere near the amt in dispute, then how can FD claim these amts as gifts? I don't think its possible for a recipient to spontaneously declare anything as a gift as that declaration has to come from the person providing the "gift"? I still don't see what proof/evidence exists to support the FD statement about 'gifts' from FIL.

And there should be evidence that HF paid those taxes on those “gifts” ; I’m sure HF’s accountant would have an entry for that.

 

[afitzy]

Discredit their testimony piece by piece by piece. Its a process so we will just have to see Atty Weinstein in action as he no doubt predicted virtually all of this FD testimony and so is completely prepared IMO.

How do you impeach a witness ?

 

[Jmoose]

hmm so did the Fore Group pay the nanny or did Jennifer? If she was an employee of the FG - did they withhold and report 941 statutory taxes I wonder????

I think that during LA’s deposition, BM was trying to elicit the notion that she wasn’t paying taxes on her earnings-but that does open up a problem for the Duloses, because they also did not pay the payroll taxes they’re required to pay. I’m sure that part of the reason that FD is adamant that Jennifer ALWAYS paid LA, is that he is putting the blame entirely on her for not doing it the right way. I wonder if Jennifer’s checks that FD produced were for reimbursements to the nanny for the assortment of costs which she might have incurred in working for the family. I have a similar situation, working for a wealthy family, doing many different things-I work with their animals, kids, and buy their groceries, cigarettes and alcohol. Sometimes I have a credit card of theirs and most of the time I don’t, so I use my own and they write me a check. This may be what he is producing. I absolutely believe that FORE Group paid LA, and that Jennifer reimbursed The FORE Group for her services outside of the company.

@AishaMbTV
2017 (year Hilliard Farber passed away) Fore Group tax returns in question again today. Accountant testified Fotis directed him to treat 1.7million loan as equity, accountant refused. Fotis says there were discrepancies
Tense moments. Weinstein questioning why would Gloria Farber agree to continue to give Fotis Dulos “gifts” through 2019 even after Fotis and Jennifer filed for divorce 2017, and now after Jennifer’s disappearance and Fotis’ charges


MarissaAlter
Getting contentious between Weinstein and Dulos. Dulos just said he expects an annual gift from Gloria Farber to have continued every year even after the Jennifer filed for divorce.
Dulos just said “that was the agreement” when Weinstein asked if Farber should gift him money this year when Jennifer is missing and Dulos charged in connection.

 

[Spider92]

However, according to H&R Block, there is a limit of $15,000 per recipient, per year for a gift.

Again, this is not my forte, but I do know that someone owes money if in fact the $2.5+ Million was a Gift.
Renminbi

IMO.

Gifts in excess of $15,000 annually might be subject to a gift tax depending on the amount of gifts made by the giver during his/her lifetime. If gift taxes are owed, they are always paid by the giver not the recipient.

 

[afitzy]

sniped for focus

I absolutely believe that FORE Group paid LA, and that Jennifer reimbursed The FORE Group for her services outside of the company.

What you describe is precisely what LA said in her deposition. She submitted email to FD/FORE with a breakdown of her time via FORE bookkeeping and babysitting. JD then was to cut a personal check to FD or FORE (this wasn't entirely clear IMO that LA knew the answer to this issue in the deposition) for the babysitting portion of LA time.

Thanks .
What’s the outcome if FD is impeached?
