To provide a bit of the timeline to refresh our memories.
FD's parents were already in the US with FD and first wife, long before JD and FD were married.
FD, first wife, and FD's parents, all lived in Canton, CT. FD retained the home in the divorce from wife #1 in
July 2004.
FD's father died in 2004 and IIRC, Before the marriage of JD and FD in
August of 2004 at the exclusive Metropolitan Club of New York in Manhattan.
According to the Better Business Bureau, FD created ForeGroup in
November of 2004, After FD married JD in
August 2004 and he left Cap Gemini.
Fore Group, Inc. | Better Business Bureau® Profile
Fore Group was then Incorporated in
March of 2007.
I am sure that FD did not wait until After the marriage to JD, before ‘day dreaming’ about his upcoming business scam, um sorry, plan, but it was Not established until immediately After the
July 2004 JD wedding at the Met Club in Manhattan.
FD's mother was ran over by the Greek nanny in
2010, while the family lived at 85 Deercliff Road in Avon, less than a mile from 4JC in Farmington.
The older set of JD's twins were born in
2006,
The youngest child was born in
2011, After FD's mother succumbed to her injuries in
2010.
In this thread, some have made reference that JD belittled FD in regards to building homes in Hartford County instead of Fairfield County, alluding to the idea that JD wanted more money. NOT, IMO.
In a previous MSM, FD says that he originally worked in Canton, Avon, and Farmington to get home building experience and then said His next move for his business was the exclusive areas of Fairfield County. I have not found where I read this MSM info but, Fore Group website now says that FD builds homes in Fairfield County as noted from this snip from Foregroup website:
Fore Group Inc. | Custom Home Builder Avon, Farmington, New Canaan, Fairfield, Westport & Greenwich, CT
'We Proudly Serve Greenwich, Fairfield, Westport & Surrounding Areas'
In an article from the
October 2014 American Builder's Quarterly, FD says:
https://americanbuildersquarterly.com/2014/10/01/fore-group/
"We didn’t have the client confidence to go straight to the super high end from the beginning, so we did some spec homes."
Two years Before the planned move to New Canaan, FD said in a
May 2015 Hartford Current Posh Properties interview:
http://www.foregroupinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Posh-6-7-8.pdf
“I really wanted our homes to be on the same level as homes you’d find in Greenwich or New Canaan,”
"We are currently working to establish a presence in Fairfield County; this is a strategic goal of ours: stay tuned."
IMO, FD's goal was mo money, mo money, mo money and has always been FD's Primary goal.
IMO, JD Never belittled FD, Ever, about anything.
IMO, JD knew that she was dealing with, IMO, a dangerous man and she did what she could to protect her and especially the children.
IMO, JD would Not have antagonized FD, Ever. EVER.
IMO, JD Always Yielded to FD's Wants, as shown in the children's names in one of her Patch.com entries.
Yes, it has been noted that JD had conversations with FD about the High End housing market in the southwest sections of Fairfield County but, she Never would have belittled FD in any way, form, or fashion to get FD to move to New Canaan.
It was All about FD and what FD wanted, and HE wanted More Money with More Prestige and FD decided to move the family to NC to take advantage of the Higher End housing market.
All because, why? JD's yearly $400,000.00 payout from her trust fund, was Not enough for FD.
Bottom Line? JD was FD's ticket to fame and fortune, and she 'took' that away from FD. In FD's mind, of course, and she paid the ultimate price.
IMO, JD did not want or felt that she needed more money.
JD was living in a 15,000 square foot home, that she supposedly got to pick finishes, furniture, and decor while raising 5 beautiful children.
IMO, she may have been listening to FD's rants and raves about his wants for making more money and increasing his status as a high end builder. She then may have suggested that he could make more in Greenwich, Westport, Fairfield, and the surrounding areas.
But, IMO, there is No Way that JD was money hungry in any way, shape, or form.
It was ALL, FD.
