So strange that every time I see marketing images of this property it hits me that FD over and over (architecture supposedly by his his sister Rena with FD responsible for construction management as he was a 'Gucci loafer' type manager) created houses of a scale where most non custom furniture simply seems odd looking and with layouts that were not welcoming, gracious and imo simply seemed cold and poorly thought out.
Always hits me too that the quality of the interior finishes and materials definately looks imo 'builder grade' on a good day and and my opinion on all this slipshod work and cutting corners was sealed when PG said on the stand that he wanted FD to stay out his business as he was building his own house! Still stuns to see that 4JX is heated with propane which in CT is rare, ruinously expensive and inefficient imo. I still think FD and MT were lighting fires in March/April to stay warm as towards the end neither one could afford the $6,000 it took to fill up the propane tanks for heat. Many larger houses have dual fuel but seeing a house this size on propane only was something I never understood.
I will never forget seeing the images of 4JX with FD rugs and furniture inside and it almost looked like doll sized furniture relative to the scale of the rooms. Even FD couldn't afford to purchase appropriately scaled soft goods for his own house!
Even all these years later, still trying to figure out the financial grift behind FORE, FD, MT and Rena etc. and wondering where the $$$ went, whether MT knows or cares or if FD and MT simply pissed all the money away and the reason MT packed her hefty bags and left 4JX was because the money was all gone? Rena owned 50% of FORE and so I very much wonder if she funded the MT defence and has keep MT in funds all these years and effectively paid for her silence?
The finances behind FD, MT and FORE remain imo another 'kinda mystery' of this sorry case. I always believed that GF and Atty Weinstein knew more than was even disclosed in the sorry Civil case but I do wonder where the money from FORE went?
I also marvel at the dysfunction of Family Court and the sheer ineptitude of Judge Heller and her inability to get FD to provide financially for his 5 children. It still stuns that because of the poor quality of the Judges in Family Court that FD was able to lie about his finances for years on the record with no consequences and simply by virtue of endless delay was permitted sufficient time to effectively burn FORE to the ground financially and send cash most likely outside the country and leave his children nothing.
I don't think Rena (or FD for that matter) cared much about the 5 Dulos children but with all the money Rena sucked out of FORE over the years, I do very much wonder if she has any conscience about effectively taking the money that could have been used by the Dulos children? I do wonder if she might have behaved differently about everything had the Farber money not existed? She just seemed like someone who showed up at the Civil Case in her fur coat, put in her face time and then hit the road and only cared about her money and never about the children. Pure speculation on my part but the FORE money seemed to have benefited FD and Rena more than the 5 Dulos children.
Always think about how or if at all the divorce case would have played out differently had JFD not been blessed with private means? How many women in the US had the personal wealth of JFD to be able to support not only herself and 5 children? Not many. Combo of DV and no personal wealth is simply what imo sinks most women and hurts children. Sadly JFD had means of support but she was murdered by those that wanted all that she had (Inmate 466xxx and her entire greedy family) as well as lazy FD that simply didn't want to work.
Conspiracy to commit murder imo in certain respects is a brain twister to wrap your brain around as non lawyers as we saw ignorant folks such as Petu not understand it and even more ignorant folks like the Troconis family choose to not understand conspiracy to commit murder and the role of MT in the murder of JFD. But, imo the more you think about the components of the conspiracy to commit murder charge, there is an inherent evil and darkness to it imo that makes it easy to understand why it is charged in almost the same way as capital murder. MT attached herself to FD and his life in such a way that imo its virtually impossible to separate the two of them in the planning and execution of the murder of JFD. I think reflecting on on the MT trial evidence that even though we the public no doubt only heard a fraction of what was found by LE in their investigation, I do wonder if this murder would have happened without the presence and participation of MT? At this point my money would be on an answer of 'no' to that hypothetical question. I do think FD was no planner and that without Inmate 466xxx participation and assistance along with some expertise from KM to be understood hopefully better at his trial, I do think JFD might be alive today.
MOO
