she could have dragged this thing out for years and eaten up 250000 in lawyer bills or more - so might as well just get it done and move ahead - though i get your sense of outrage - she gets a quarter mil when - in her divorce papers - she said she had reason to think he was gonna take the money and run - "abscond to china" to be with his "paramour" - something like that - i think she said in her divorce papers if i remember right - this was a couple months before crypsty got shut off - she probably had a better idea than anyone what paul was up to months before anyone else understood the totality of it
In Florida (where the house in question resides) it is almost impossible to force someone out of their house due to debt. It is a big win for the lawyers to have her give it up without much fuss. She could have lived in it for the rest of her life or taken out all the equity if she was not allowed to sell. If it was paid off (which I think it was?) she could have made out with the full value and let it default back to the bank. How much was it worth? $800K? She could have made out with $800K instead of $250K.
