RIP and thank you to Grant Imahara. He was such a kind, intelligent role model to so many. I took a look at the other contributions he made to film and tv (not just Mythbusters) and they were all so impressive.
This has affected me more than I expected. I woke up thinking about him today. Such a loss.
Me too. I loved the show, and him on it. It makes me very sad.
I don’t get it. It’s not like she can really hide who she’s married to,it’s registered somewhere,it’s a public information. What is she trying to achieve? Or am I wrong and that’s not how it works in the US(I’m french)?I’m a bit lost.
But she might not have gotten married in the us. If she got married overseas but didn’t register it in the us then maybe it would be hard to track?
In CA one may obtain a confidential marriage license and marry. It is not part of the public record, but a judge can order it released to LE for cause. FBI, more than likely knows, choosing not to release it. It would be interesting to know who it is, but I suspect it’s not a man of honor. 🙂
I don’t understand the significance of her being married either. It’s not going to stop her from being charged, or give her any kind of immunity, unless hubby is a really big fish she wants to turn over, so what’s the big deal? Gotta admit, it would be entertaining if she and Andrew had gotten married in secret. Fergie’s head would explode.
The significance is unknown until we know who the spouse is, but the secrecy makes it interesting.
The significance is in him shielding wealth (his, hers, theirs) that she’d have access to in order to break bail and flee. Does he have the means (transportation-wise, ie: private jet) to spirit her out if she makes said bail. THAT is why it could be imperative to know.
Her marrying Andrew was the first thing that popped up in my mind.Fergie would be ok with it as long as it pays her bills.
Me too, Rose. If not him, another offender, because you can’t tesify against a spouse.
The significance – my guess – is she is refusing to say how she supports herself or who bought the place she stayed at (the mysterious LLC). This is a way to hide money and her pay offs. Nothing more.
That’s it. It’s about sheltering assets.
Yes. That’s got to be it.
When an LLC is formed there is always a founding member if its a sole member LLC or multiple members. When buying property with an LLC you need to provide unanimous const of the members, signed with socials by each member. If it’s just a single member it’s an affidavit very similar to the consent, with your name and social. In order to file the ACRIS forms in New York, this affidavit/consent needs to be provided and filed with it. It’s more or less the same in every state. It shouldn’t be hard to find who owns the LLC.
True, but I think there are many layers of LLCs involved here.
You also can’t be forced to testify against your spouse. Does that also apply if they are dead? What if she married Epstein? That would “explain away” the money transfers between them. It would also keep her from testifying about his crimes.
That makes the most sense.
That makes the most sense.
Does the US have spousal privilege? Ie a wife can’t be forced to testify against her husband? If so that would be very interesting
Maybe it has to do with financial matters, that would be the only logical reason then again I’m no expert
Yes, the US absolutely has that and it’s resulted in more than one business marriage. The marriage revelation might be nothing. He might be a no one with no connections to their trafficking operations, but it might be huge. (Also of note, that a spouse can *choose* to testify against a spouse, so if it is someone involved and she turns on him to save her own ass, this could get interesting).
It’s about the money. She refuses to divulge how she bought a million dollar mansion with no income. She”s trying to pretend that a husband is supporting her instead of the blackmail. JMO.
Yes, wouldn’t it be wild if she was married to someone notable and thought to be involved in the Epstein abuse? She wouldn’t be able to incriminate them then.
I can understand wanting to keep his identity secret if she’s trying to hide assets, which is illegal and I do suspect is her intent. But does she plan no communications with him for the duration of her incarceration? Visitor lists must be pre-approved and are limited, as are phone calls, and all mail is opened and reviewed.
It’s a Marriage of Convenience to hide money. She has income due to blackmail and she is trying to hide it in offshore accounts. Meanwhile, the FBI wants to know how she is living in a million dollar mansion that she shopped for (she met the realtor). Follow the money. Like all these scumbags.
Wait wait wait, are we suggesting tax fraud? OMG, that’s the crime that’ll get you.
It would be except she’s hidden it all away at the Cayman. She banks like the Queen does.
Why the hell was she living in the states? Why not live somewhere with no extradition treaty?
I keep asking this too.
Such as France!!!???
Possibly so she could have a better chance of saying she’s not a flight risk? Didn’t work if so.
Communication will be through the attorneys.
I wonder if Maxwell married Epstein? So she wouldn’t have to testify against him? Would explain her refusal to admit it- makes her look guilty.
If she was married to Epstein, would that allow her to not testify about what she witnessed? Any lawyer celebitchies know?
^This. She may have married Epstein so she wouldn’t have to testify against him. They probably planned it, if true.
The privilege would have ended when he died.
The spousal privilege does not survive death. Its entire purpose is to prevent marital strife by compelling one spouse to testify against the other. With Epstein dead, there is no point to upholding the privilege (if they married).
Interesting! Good to know!
I guess Maxwell wasn’t counting on Epstein being deceased. But maybe she did. Well they covered their base while he was alive.
Would it be crazy if be crazy if see marry andrew?!
That thought crossed my mind, too! What if it’s Andrew?! Nothing would shock me at this point.
Daily Mail articles: “yes, it’s unfortunate that the new Duchess of York engaged in human trafficking, but at least she wasn’t a bridezilla who sent emails at 5am!”
Coco your comment is EVERYTHING!
Hahaha!
What a delicious idea!
I went down that rabbit hole on Twitter this morning, and it appears he’s since passed away?
Read that too. Some guy in Florida named Cragle?
Interesting! I don’t know how NY treats spousal privilege, but these privileges can be suspended where spouses are accused of jointly committing a crime, which is why I don’t think it would be Epstein or any of the other men we suspect participated in these gross crimes. I think this is all about sheltering assets. Or maybe Twitter is right and she is an undercover agent for some foreign government😂
I hate that I like GM’s style. That dress in the header pic is cute, despite the horrible person who is wearing it.
My theory that Andy is secretly married is getting closer to being true!! The fact that he never remarried fergi despite her living in with him made me question if he was secretly hitched to a corrupt Kazakh businessman’s daughter or something.
But if she were married to Pedo Andy, and thus Duchess of whatnot, wouldn’t the palace protect her or there be some laws protecting the Royals, like diplomatic immunity?
Scott Bergeron is the most likely guess. They were ‘dating”and she looked at the house that she subsequently purchased with a man named Scott (they both used the same last name, neither Bergeron nor Maxwell).
I doubt she’s really married. I think it was a convenient lie for some reason. Possibly she’s legally married, but again: Just as a convenient fiction to help them shuffle money around or hide her or something.
You know she could just be gold-digging so she doesn’t have to wear shower curtains tied round her with holes cut out for arms?
(Seriously though, does she have US citizenship? That could be another possibility if she doesn’t already, to avoid deportation at the end of a sentence).
