I read the post's article, and the two articles in the top-level comment. Transferring real estate into a trust isn't a viable way to keep ill gotten gains from a bankruptcy court. Selling assets would only be sketchy if she attempted to divert some of that money, which isn't mentioned (and I'm sure those transactions received intense scrutiny). What other peculiar things did she do?

It seems like for the "mastermind theory", the last thing one would ever want to do is bring someone into the fold who would stay behind and knowingly shoulder all the legal trouble. And from her perspective, getting married and being named executor would be a terrible idea drastically increasing her involvement - an unmarried "girlfriend" could passively walk away while the legal system did its thing.

If this was an exit scam, it seems highly likely that Robertson was an unwitting patsy. Granted, encouraging this conclusion is a large part of why she'd write a book. But I just don't see how the alternative would make sense in the slightest.

I get the sense from the various posts and book excerpts and her podcast appearance that she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed nor a criminal mastermind, so to speak.

How does that support what you implied in your earlier comment? From what I see the incentives are just all wrong. Based on my limited reading, she appears as someone working within the legal system to keep her (ill gotten) wealth. You can condemn her for that, but it's a far cry from being in on some larger plan of faking her husband's death. And her not being "the sharpest tool in the shed" is even more evidence against her knowingly being part of a larger plan.

The impression I get reading her statements is that they belong to a lawyer-constructed narrative which makes it difficult to form an accurate opinion.
