” ... remember this is 2001 and she says, ... all of this jewelry has been stolen from me >>over the past 18 months,<< I suspect by relatives, former bodyguards, former friends, and my son’s former nanny...” ...”
That was written in a 1995 affidavit that was presented in court in 2001. There is a police report from June 1994 where ANS reported the $4 million in jewelry “missing” and then came up with several different stories about how that happened.
Some of them centered around her bodyguard Pierre deJean, who had a criminal record and was also having an affair with her. Once she claimed she “gave” the jewels to him. The police concluded the jewelry wasn’t missing and closed the case.
I always felt from reading all the info about it that she probably did “give” them to deJean temporarily and that together they were going to use that as a way to file on her insurance and get some cash for it all - then she would still have the jewelry later on and could sell it again for even more cash.
Her own *401K* ($4.01 million in carats)retirement account, so to speak, lol.
I’d say “this big lie” was so that she didn’t have to claim it as income since they were “gifts”. It’s called “income tax evasion”. She’s just such a confirmed liar and Howard and Larry are, too.
maybe i misunderstood. I was understanding that it was her testimony in court that she said, over the past 18 months, and it was noted, that she was contradicting her own affidavit.
re: giving the jewels - didn’t a former manager pipe up and say not too long ago he had some expensive jewelry ANS had given him to safekeep still in his safe? perhaps ANS was confused on who she had given it to? (of course, one must wonder why said manager-type didn’t say anything in ‘95 when it must have been in the press, and instead, waited until ‘07...)
