irc333 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Friend of my uncle's co-worker came home one day....and discovered he had 0 dollars left in his bank account ....he didn't suspect a thing....you hear this stuff like this happening a lot He can't get a lawyer, because he has no money He cannot have her arrested, well, because it's HER money too! That being said, when you hear stories like this, this this make you hesitate getting married? Why do people get this evil? Why not just leave and leave SOME Money...for him?
Star Gazer Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Friend of my uncle's co-worker... Well then, you've definitely got the facts straight!! Not some tall tale at all! 7
Eve Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 My Hubbys ex emptied the bank account and took the furniture but left the kids. How anyone can take the furniture needed by their children is beyond me. Happens the other way around too I am sure. I suppose the person is looking for an exit that says '**** you'. Personally I think, what goes around comes around. No need to base ones future life on the negatives of another, even though it may sting for a time. Take care, Eve x

That being said, when you hear stories like this, this this make you hesitate getting married? Why do people get this evil? Why not just leave and leave SOME Money...for him? If it's HIS bank account, how could she have accessed HIS money? If it's a JOINT bank account, I can't believe he didn't 'suspect a thing'...something must have led up to it. He can go to the Police. That's technically theft. It's not ALL her money - only 50% is hers. The whole thing is BS. But tell the friend of your co-uncle's friendly worker that he should have been a clever cookie with his money and kept a separate account. 2
Eve Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 He can go to the Police. That's technically theft. It's not ALL her money - only 50% is hers. Didn't know that. I thought it was possible to get away with this. Take care, Eve x
TaraMaiden Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Not so. The courts do not look kindly on clearing bank accounts out fraudulently - even between married couples.
Eve Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Not so. The courts do not look kindly on clearing bank accounts out fraudulently - even between married couples. H'mm.. good. I don't see the point in pulling something as such if everything is joint via marriage. Makes the person who would do that look very bad indeed. I would not want to see my H destitute, no matter what happens between us. Take care, Eve x
will1988 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 My ex-roommate's sister's boyfriend's best freind's third cousin's neighbor's step son once told me that this a cruel world and people do cruel things... this is why when I get married I'm going to stash some money away just in case.
Ursa Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I do know one woman who did this, many years ago....because her husband beat her and their children, and she needed the money to be able to set up a new life where he could no longer violate and control them. I have also heard, once, of a man who siphoned all the money from a joint account into his mistress' account to be able to cheat his wife and teenaged kids when he left to start his new life with a much younger woman. It happens, but I don't believe that either scenario is happening all over the country willy-nilly like an epidemic. Nor do I believe that it's a good idea to assume you know the dynamics of the marriage of your uncle's coworker's poker buddy or whomever it was. Sometimes the person who would pull such a maneuver is motivated purely by self-absorption and greed, but other times they are motivated by sheer desperation.
freestyle Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Something similar happened to my best friend/next door neighbor in high school. While her dad was at work, and she & her sister were at school, their stepmom up & moved out, and took ALL of the furniture with her, except for the kid's beds. They were blindsided.... I still remember walking through the house with her that evening--it was freaky. I don't recall if she emptied the accounts or not.... Sadly, when my friend's dad passed away,over a decade later--he'd forgotten to change his will....... And the evil woman got everything that was left, all the proceeds from the estate, including the house----and the kids got nothing. Except for his funeral bill. Very sad.....

I will tell H this story, especially regarding the terrible ending. Up till now we have not come across a similar story. I don't know what's worse a step parent or biological parent behaving as such? I cannot relate to even considering taking money and furniture without agreement, never mind knowing that it would impact the lives of little ones. Wow, how people sleep at night who have such minds is beyond me. I would be straight down to my GP if I was entertaining such ideas. It would be time for some serious therapy, lol. Hubbys mum had the ex written out of the family Will within hours of her leaving. She wasn't surprised. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Take care, Eve x 2

Take care, Eve x Thanks Eve---I was a third party bystander, but it still affected me, too. I remember my friend's stepmom hugging me, being kind to me--baking brownies together. I'd grown up with the friend from kindergarten through high school--we were joined at the hip, 90% of the time--with the exception of the occasional silly tiff. So it was a shock for me, too, and it broke my heart to see my closest friend go through that--there was no explanation--her stepmom left, and never came back, overnight. I can't imagine sleeping at night either, after doing something like that... It's incomprehensible to me. smh...

Take care, Eve x Women have an urge for a strong dominant male. However modern man is told women seek the opposite. Women punish men for not being a Taliban.
