I think from a legal aspect, any lawyer worth their salt would be telling her to file for divorce immediately to protect any assets they shared during the marriage so he can't drain them. Even if he had secret bank accounts and was into crypto or whatever, from a legal standpoint half of that is hers. By filing for divorce and asking for certain types of financial injunctions, I believe she can force this on him to divide up the assets.

Wisconsin is considered a "community property" state which means that in a marriage, all assets are 50% each spouse - again regardless of the source or who acquired them. If it happened during the marriage, both spouses are 50% responsible - period. This is why I think the Sheriff is playing nice because the county and other resources are $40K+ in the hole for his stupidity and from a legal perspective if they wanted to try to stick it to him, it's 50% on her as well because of how the law is written.

That's why in an earlier post I said he's not walking away from this and while I know it's tempting to just "girl, bye" him and tell him to stay wherever he is, the Sheriff was right that he needs to address the mess he made. He doesn't have to talk with his wife and kids again, but right now they may both be legally on the hook for the cost of the rescue efforts. From what I can tell, LE is deciding what they want to push him on and what they want to let go because he easily can just sever communication and go further into hiding and at that point in a foreign country with iffy relations with the US, how much can you really do to track him down?

They have him now and they want to keep him within their sights until they have a resolution pathway on restitution and legal charges. Whether or not he understands this is something only the LE speaking with him can answer.

Yes i think the fact that there are 3 children, all within years of paying for college, there has to be at least an injunction on the finances.
Question. If her name isn't on an account, say a college savings account as the custondian, and its only his name, does she still get to file a claim of theft on that because they are married. Or is the money under his control if he's the only one on the account?

As I understand, the community property laws in Wisconsin state that any assets that were generated during the course of the marriage are 50% each spouse. Some states parse stuff like that out based on when, whose name, etc. but I believe Wisconsin makes it very simple and just says 50/50 and what's yours is half mine and vice versa.

He sounds like such a sniveling jerk that he might try to get to assets she hadn't thought about.

I would want to shut that down NOW and get very aggressive on a divorce to protect her assets and those of the children, so that he cannot do something weird like sell the house or the cars from afar.

Wow. Stick her for the search costs? Does that mean if a family member disappears you better think twice before calling in law enforcement in WI?

I think others are posting in the hypothetical… I’ve not seen anything to that regard in MSM reports

No, I seriously doubt she will be held responsible for the search costs. That would be cruel and also unfair - she is not the person who caused the expense.

yes i think sheriff was just saying these are the costs we need to be paid.
no filed charges at this point
that's why he's talking and negotiating everyday
unfortunately he's not a lawyer

If she had helped him, possibly, but there is absolutely no evidence she did anything like that.

Where Is Runaway Dad Ryan Borgwardt?

Investigators are studying intriguing clues about the location of runaway dad Ryan Borgwardt in a proof of life video.

www.insideedition.com

• Borgwardt is a common name in Poland. Does he have relatives there?
• Re: the white interior door with distinctive curved windows, Inside Edition found similar doors which are manufactured in Turkey and China.
• Re: the front door (black/brown), it's extra wide.
• The object above the door is not a vent, but a circuit breaker.
• Inside Edition researchers located similar doors and circuit breakers in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

What to know about a Wisconsin man who faked his own death and fled to Eastern Europe

A sheriff says a Wisconsin man who faked his own drowning this summer and abandoned his wife and three children is in Eastern Europe.

apnews.com

Scott Shackelford, executive director of the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research at Indiana University, said authorities should be able to locate Borgwardt through his device’s internet protocol address, a unique number assigned to every device connected to the internet. But he said it’s very easy to mask an IP address and make it appear as if the device is in one country when it’s really in another. Software exists that can route your IP address across the globe, Shackelford said. Police may not have the expertise, the manpower or any interest in digging through multiple layers of cyber deception, he said.

yes if you look at apartments in Tashkent they all look exactly the same as that video
its a tough call because Turkey and China are both major trade partners with everyone in the area, so Im sure they are everywhere.
They had this video for a week and a half before the public. Im pretty sure the Feds already ran it through the searches and more
But the more i learn about this case, him coming home on his own is the best way to go about it for everyone and everything involved.
as long as he's emailing, there's a chance this can end without too much chaos

I Googled "how fast can one get divorce in absentia in WI" and AI gave me 120 days. NJ would be faster, but 120 d is not bad either. I would have concerns staying in any way related to such an unpredictable person. The woman in Uzbekistan might be an adventuress or simply enamored with "the knight in shining armor". Either way, she is just an indicator of how messed up Bogwart is. It must be horrible for his wife to find out who she was married to, but the divorce is still safer than any other option. Uzbekistan is a cosmopolitan and a welcoming country, btw, but I don't envisage Bogwart living there among its aqsaquals enjoying the surge in cryptocurrency. Something else will happen, and he'll move again, IMHO. Just my opinion, the guy has some form of an impulse control disorder, this is why I wondered if he used to gamble.

The video was being filmed with his phone. Personally I do not believe the man went through the hassle to install a VPN or had he the IQ to think about that, he gave out enough clues with the video itself. As I had already mentioned in previous posts, about the time zone, the specific door and the fact that the window shows it is dark outside.and the fact that he was speaking with a low voice…
Apparently also the shirt he was wearing is typical from EE
IMO after confirmstion that such doors are built in TR and CH, he is in Uzbekistan. There are a lot of exchanges (commercial, even marital) with TR
JMO, thanks for posting I was about to !

Can anyone with a high resolution screen, isolate the logo and the writing on the orange shirt?
Seems a sun over mountains with a road
Thx

I already tried with google image and got nothing.

LE already said he's in eastern Europe, which i think they are also including central Asia
nothing really groundbreaking about the logo from what i can see

The massive problem he is going to face is that, if the life insurance fraud and other charges go through, he will have some sort of record and these days lots of countries in the world are pretty strict about it and he will be banned from entering their territory.

There's a strong chance this person will have a very limited number of places he can move to, and most of them will be dodgy to say the least. He has really messed up his life (and what decent employer would want to hire him with a proper contract? this is bad publicity for any good company, to have an employee like Ryan...cash-in-hand jobs are most likely a permanent feature in his future if he decides to stay abroad.) Jmoo.

 

[Tealgrove]

This guy is a special piece of work.

His poor family. Can you imagine how they grieved over the loss of their father/husband, son, brother etc?

He’s a coward.

You want out - do it right. Take your hits and let everybody move on.

His actions are reprehensible.

So angry and feel so badly for his kids and wife.

Karma always comes knocking.

MOO

I think that door behind him in the video is a distinctive design and will likely be able to indicate which country or region he was in when it was filmed.

I think this may be the door. If not, it's very similar. Made in Turkey and shown under the heading "Latest Models."
