It was discovered when she was on vacation and her fill in didn't understand one of the entries - and then the whole thing collapsed. Most of the money went to her passion for champion quarter horses. Everyone in the town assumed that there was family money but didn't investigate it further.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Barry Russell during a Tuesday hearing said he was not weighing in on the merits of Edelson's misappropriation claims against "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne Girardi, shooting down lawyers' efforts on each side to argue about the substance of the case. "It may ultimately be relevant, but that’s something a judge in Chicago would deal with," Russell said.

RoseAllDay November 30, 2021 Share November 30, 2021 Upon reflection of the LA Magazine piece: This story goes pretty easy on Erika, but then it’s mainly about Tom’s shadiness. What stood out to me was how Tom plainly stated when they were married that he would not wear a ring. A lot can be read into that both benign and otherwise, but given his alleged womanizing I think he was putting her on notice not to expect much in the way of fidelity — so maybe there is some grain of truth to what she said about his affairs. But at the time she was obviously OK with it…which leads to… …her quote (I think from “Pretty Mess”) about her dream of being a singer and that she was “bored,” so Tom bankrolled her hobby. I think it’s pretty clear how he did that, so for her to claim she had no idea is ridiculous. She’s not that ignorant, unless it’s willful. As long as the money kept rolling in it didn’t matter where it came from. And Tom was obviously there for every minute of it. “Xpensive — that describes you.” This scam just happened to be the one that tripped up Tom, probably due to outright greed. It was a long time coming. 6 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36758-erika-girardierika-jayne-let-them-eat-cake/page/86/#findComment-7146132
amarante November 30, 2021 Share November 30, 2021 I thought the LA Magazine article was a "must read" for those interested in the whole scheme. It provided a really lucid account of how long Girardi has been violating Ethics 101 by dipping into the trust accounts. Not that any of us believed the whole attempted defense that it was due to senility, but it completely establishes a long running course of conduct. What was new to me as exactly what happened in terms of the divorce from his first (or was it second?) wife who hired a forensic accountant and found that Tom as already writing checks on the trust accounts and writing personal checks drawn from the business. It also succinctly illustrates how the "powers" in the Bar enabled his behavior - I believe the President of the Bar at one time was a lawyer in his firm and the investigator who made a very small salary had two children working at the Girardi firm and was wined and dined by Girardi. I would imagine there was also cash payments as well. I don't think it lets Erika off the hook. I think more accurately one could say that the article isn't really about Erika but about the fraud and Girardi's long standing course of dealing with his clients as well as other attorneys to whom he owed money. Erika is more of an illustration of how he spent money like water - because it wasn't really his to spend. Private planes; lavish spending; personalized menus; clothing and a vanity recording project were all just play money which Tom funded from his ill gotten gains. 5 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36758-erika-girardierika-jayne-let-them-eat-cake/page/86/#findComment-7146921

I think more accurately one could say that the article isn't really about Erika but about the fraud and Girardi's long standing course of dealing with his clients as well as other attorneys to whom he owed money. Erika is more of an illustration of how he spent money like water - because it wasn't really his to spend. Private planes; lavish spending; personalized menus; clothing and a vanity recording project were all just play money which Tom funded from his ill gotten gains. My feeling is that Erika probably did not know exactly what he was doing. Even if she did, it would likely be impossible to prove. I have never thought there was any chance of her being charged with a crime. But I do believe she will be on the hook for every dime that went into her LLC. What I found interesting, other than the info about his previous marriage and learning he was guilty back then, is that he was deposed in late 2020 and appeared lucid. I hope Erika is perfecting her bedroom skills, because she is going to need someone to give her 21 million or she is going to have to get by on her howives pay. I realize it's a hell of a salary to most of is, but when you spend like she has fir 21 years, it's pocket change. 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36758-erika-girardierika-jayne-let-them-eat-cake/page/86/#findComment-7152192

Not sure if true or not, but heard that while Tom booked it as a loan on the Girardi law books they haven’t found any loan documents between Girardi law and Erika’s LLC. And, the money was transferred in multiple loans/payments which makes it really hard to track. Because of this it is speculated she won’t have to pay anything back because it can’t be proven what monies are an actual loan. I hope all of this is wrong and she is on the hook for everything plus interest. If anyone has facts about this please share. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36758-erika-girardierika-jayne-let-them-eat-cake/page/86/#findComment-7152765

I don't know anything about this, but my guess is it won't matter if it was a loan or not. Money was going into her business that belonged to Tom's clients, so she should be liable for paying it back. Just like it doesn't matter if Tom used the money to buy her jewelry, I don't think it matters that he used the money to buy her a hobby - it's still funds obtained illegally and is required to be returned. At the same time, it is Erika's name as the business owner, and her signatures on taxes. If she didn't report that money that Tom stole and put into her business, then she's also liable for back taxes and penalties and perjury. If she did report it as a loan and it wasn't, then that's fraud. 3 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36758-erika-girardierika-jayne-let-them-eat-cake/page/86/#findComment-7155268

If she did report it as a loan and it wasn't, then that's fraud. The lawyer who was being interviewed said that while we all would expect this from a common sense perspective, from a legal perspective it is highly unlikely. Erika’s lawyers could claim she “performed” at Girardi events so those are fees since there isn’t a loan document in evidence. Or, they could claim that it was a business investment and the business failed so there’s nothing to recover. Again, I hope all this is wrong and that she has to turn over everything of value. Posting this here in case anyone knows if there is a loan doc in evidence or of another legal opinion on how the victims can get access to the money. If this lawyer’s take is correct I wonder if Tom, and Erika, set things up this way as a strategy. Can’t imagine any lawyer doing a $MM loan and not doing a contract.
