In my mind I'm picturing AS sitting around Cozumel drinking a fantastic mixed drink and smiling. It seems nicer to think about than the alternative.
That video really bothered me. I didn't know AS, but his demeanor in the video seemed so 'off'. (I can't think of a better word than 'off' to describe his demeanor.) JMO.
Yes, that would be a wonderful scenario.
This is my theory. When Abraham was interviewed by The Ledger soon after winning the lottery, Cedric Lewis chimed in about entertaining business proposals as related to Shakespeare & Associates. That was like putting out a full-page ad to every crook in Florida. I believe he set into motion a number of the players in this scheme.
Two years later, Abraham survives a excrutiating lawsuit where his character is challenged, he's made out to be an illiterate thief, and spent over $2M in attorney fees. And we know from court records that Michael Ford wasn't done..he was trying to take the case to the FL Supreme Court.
Dee worms her way in complete with wheelchair and playing on the vanity of Barbara Jackson by promising a magazine article featuring her and Abraham. She and Stitzel go to work on Abraham - telling him that he needs to protect his assets from more lawsuits. The solution - move the assets to Moore's company. They have him sign some phoney documents to make him believe he still owns the assets; they are simply safeguarding his properties under the AMP name. Moore then isolates him from the world so no one can talk sense to Abraham or review what he's signing.
Moore probably throws in additional fear of being thrown in jail for a new woman that had just filed a paternity claim. He needs to leave for awhile. This pathetic video is made and Abraham goes along in a confused state as these people have taken over and he's following along. My fear is that they also had him move his liquid assets into his safety deposit box which Moore later found a way to access.
They needed Cedric Edom to hold back the family in asking questions. They have him deliver phoney card with $100 (someone had been practicing his signature for documents). Edom is now living in one of Moore's houses so he received compensation for his part. I can't figure out what prompted him to report Abraham missing, but he quickly recants this even though LE had announced it was him. Seems like he's scared and wasn't supposed to report Abraham missing until a later time. I don't believe Edom really understood what was going on.
The question is what happened next. Their plan implodes if Abraham is found and talks to LE. Fortunately, their plan is imploding before their very eyes.
Abraham's either tucked away or dead. Either way, I firmly believe Stitzel and Moore know exactly what happened next and LE will solve this case.
