This Divorce Is Part Of A Long Con

[Blind Gossip] If you are thinking that the story of this infamous woman marrying and divorcing doesn’t make any sense… you are right!

It does not make any sense if you are looking at it from the perspective of a law-abiding citizen.

However, if you look at it from the perspective of an attorney, it makes perfect sense!

She kept the marriage secret to facilitate the transfer of wealth into his name only.

She is divorcing him so that the funds won’t be considered communal property and thus can’t be used for victim compensation.

Will that work?

While she may have thought that what she was doing was legal, it doesn’t pass the smell test. It is likely that along the way that money is going to get clawed back.

Is her marriage based on love?

No, although her husband probably doesn’t realize it.

She is basically a talented con man playing him in what we call “the long con.”

How is she a con man?

She engages people, earns their trust, and then persuades them to do things that they would never ordinarily think of doing. It doesn’t matter if you are a young girl or a world leader. She knows how to work you and get you to cross ethical and legal boundaries.

How did she con him?

Over some period of time, she convinced him that she truly loves him and that he should dump his wife, marry her, and help hide her and her money.

He probably thinks that he is very smart… but he is really just an unwitting dupe.

He thinks that because he has known her for years, she did marry him, and she did give him most of her money that it means that she loves him and he can trust her.

However, for her, this is a transactional relationship like all other relationships in her life. She used him. You can bet your bottom dollar that she was planning to eventually get back every bit of her money (and maybe even take his, too).

Does her husband realize that she played him?

No, because he is still trying to help her. It may take him years to admit to himself that he got conned. Some victims never admit it.

So, for her, this relationship was not about love. It was about the long con.

    but Meghan markle pretty much fits the bill too. Meghan and Doria will be manipulating/ siphoning off Harry’s money until the last minute.

    I feel partly sorry for him, sociopaths like her can be very convincing, effortlessly drawing emotionally vulnerable people in. However, it’s hard to feel completely sorry for anyone who knowingly associates with her.

    Despicable Maxwell

    I don’t feel sorry for them, but I hope karma catches up to her and she pays for all her crimes

    And, no, it doesn’t pass the smell test. These transactions (the marriage, the transfers of assets) are for purposes of hiding assets to avoid liability exposure and these transactions can be reversed by the court.

    No, I don’t feel sorry for either of them. I hope she spills the beans on everyone then I hope she rots in prison.

    Ghislaine Maxwell? Scott Borgerson.

    Nope, she can rot, people like her make me wish I could believe hell really exists.

    Ghislane Maxwell. Her husband has a bit of self serving, me first, in him also. He didn’t feel sorry for breaking up his family. You reap what you sow!

    Yes, he is a victim. If he were a woman we would say he was groomed and manipulated and played. Why can’t that happen to a man? Does that mean he is blameless, no? But he is still a victim.

    Ghislaine Maxwell. Anyone who would marry her cannot be right in the head, but I will save my sympathy for her and Epstein’s victims.

    I’m probably wrong here but because it’s been in the news so much lately, I’m going to say Erica Girardi.

    A lot of this doesn’t make sense for her though.. she was a waitress when he met her so she couldn’t have had much money to give to him.

    The Devil’s right hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. Please make sure the FBI knows all of this, so this woman can’t hide her funds from her many victims.

    Ghislane Maxwell playing her husband like a fiddle la di da.

    I do not feel sorry for either. Ghislane is so devious.

  48. Piwakawaka says

    Too easy. Ghislaine Maxwell. It’s also too easy to not feel sorry for her (or her poor duped hubby). But it does seem relatively unfair that she’s been denied bail (& no, I don’t think she’s a flight risk; she could’ve left the country years ago).

    I feel sorry for his first wife. Although she’s better off with him outta her life. And he deserves ALL legal punishment he gets. Just because he’s stupid.

    Woman: Ghislaine Maxwell

    Do you feel sorry for her or her husband? Nope. But I do think there is way more to this story than what meets the eye. And I mean that for Virginia Roberts too. She’s cast a wide net and, I think, overplayed her hand. She’ll get a payout for herself and the other victims, but with the knowledge GM has, I don’t think she’ll do any serious prison time.

    [Optional] Do you feel sorry for her or her husband? I don’t feel sorry for either of them. He must be a sleazeball to have left his wife for Maxwell.

    Ghislaine Maxwell

    Don’t know him well enough but if he was a friend of hers I don’t feel sorry for him and definitely don’t feel sorry for her!

    Ghislane Maxwell

    Optnl: Ugh. Not on the slightest. Husband dumped his other wife for Ghislane and happliy hid Ghislane and her money. Ghislane, well, we all know what she has done.

  65. IcePrincess says

    Oh Ghislane, you have such a cold, empty heart. This guy is clueless, but he’ll get everything he deserves. It’s not as if there wasn’t plenty of smoke around this evil disfunctional train wreck!

    Woman: Ghislaine Maxwell
    [Optional] Do you feel sorry for her or her husband? Grief, not her! How many has she abused? But I hope she lives to tell the tale… Lots of skeletons in the closet for plea bargain to ultimately save herself. Surely sociopathic, she would spill? Andy, Bill… nervous?
    If true, I feel sorry for the husband. I had assumed anyone involved with her had to be in in it. But if he’s really duped too, then I hope her money is used for victim support, including some for…

  70. Canadianna says

    Ghislaine Maxwell–don’t feel sorry for any of them. Feel truly saddened for the many girls/women hurt by them.

    Ghislaine Maxwell

    Not one bit, I’m just sorry Jeffrey Epstein isn’t here to serve his punishment too!
