IMO the best way to "cleanse" the house is to let it go to foreclosure.
Interestingly, a search of 61 Sturbridge Hill on
www.cttaxsales.com pulls up a fairly recent tax auction in 2014. Auction was held at Waveny House actually, proceeds going to the Estate of Winifred Ott Osborn, daughter of Charles Ott, retired Pepperidge Farm engineer. The house was torn down in order to sell a FORE new build at almost three times the 2017 purchase price of $1.5 million. IMO, why not let the property run through the State's hands again, via tax foreclosure, as a kind of physical and spiritual cleansing? Funds should NOT pass through FD's hands. Nor through FD's attorneys' accounts. Not even a 1% deposit. Can we really trust any business associate of FD? I'm looking at you Mawhinney. And your "I can't find the moving box" partner. Let's give the community some sort of peace of mind about that house and let the State and the FBI do a thorough search, including tearing up the freshly laid down sod. GF would be out the lien amount as would the honest tradesmen, the banks and any FD "benefactors". Come to think about it, the bank with a first mortgage is probably paying the property taxes, not FD. Peoples Bank? Employer of shady bank officer SM? MOO.
