So dad, he had a trust and basically mother didn't like the terms of it. In many other families, when money is involved, people start cutting each other's throats.

If the court orders me to give this money back, I will do so. You mean, again, this attorney went from $150,000 townhome prior to knowing mom to a million and a half dollar mansion. Showing an unsigned means that dad never signed the trust. And that trust, the 2013 trust, made mom sole trustee. So without dad's signature, what does mom have? She has nothing. And in the last...

10 years, including a couple years of the worst market ever. She not just doubled, not tripled, not quadrupled, not quintupled. She's six times. Yeah, in her 70s. In her 70s with no training. On the right is my father's alleged signature on the trust. Again, dated the same day, August 5th, 2013.

Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I am here with John Smith. That's his real name. And we're going to be talking about family fraud. Also the name of John Smith's book. It's an interesting story. I've spoken with him for hours about the story. We first started talking a few weeks ago. And essentially, it's the...

And it's it's the dispute or or is in John's, you know, the way John puts it, basically, it's the theft of a 30 million dollar inheritance and the IRS IRS is unwillingness to look into it or the authorities unwillingness to look into it.

121.87 - 142.377 Matt Cox

and it's a it's an interesting story and so we're gonna get into it so check it out do you live in orlando you came over here from orlando and we talked a few weeks ago we you approached me a few weeks ago and um you've got a there's a video online where you break it all down and so i watched a portion of that video.

142.437 - 164.521 Matt Cox

Then we ended up talking on the phone and then that's how we ended up getting here. And so the crux of the story real quick, just to let people know, like what they're getting into is that your father had an, had an estate worth roughly, according to your mother, roughly $30 million. Correct. She told you that it was worth 30 million. Yes. Then your father's will suddenly changed. His trust.

164.541 - 201.664 Matt Cox

Sorry, his trust changed a few weeks before his death. 16 days before he died. Right. So it changed unexpectedly. And your mother suddenly valued the estate to the IRS at $8 million. And then essentially... Made made a bunch of changes to the trust and has since. I mean, this is a very choppy version of the story. And basically, there's been a dispute between you and your mom.

201.904 - 222.974 Matt Cox

Initially, it was you, your mom and your whole family, your family, the entire family. And then essentially your mom saying, look, this whole state's eight million and it's it's all mine. And she's but she's somehow managed to spend what five. 14, 15 million. It's a miracle. Right. And she still has 10 or 11 million dollars. It's another miracle. Right. So has a ton of money left.
