Somebody tipped her off about the consoles and the exorbitant number of them, and their value too. The fact that he admitted to them means that whoever tipped her off has gained credibility. It’s highly likely that she did not ask all the questions she has during the call, including the most glaring of all: you don’t own a single television?
As was previously mentioned, lawyers generally do not ask questions they don’t already know the answer to. Her questions were all pointed, and she usually didn’t care what the truth was but rather what Phil recollected. I’m not smart enough to see the whole picture or strategy of her questioning, but it was pretty clear when some of the questions were related. Wwe network, as an example. We all noticed the intent behind that question, and she slyly left the discussion about personal electronics and shifted the questioning before circling back with it. How many of her other questions were also related? I think it’s reasonable that the majority of her questions were for a specific reason, related to other questions or to information she was provided. It’s literally unbelievable in 2020 for someone making six figures to not own a television, just as its unreasonable for an average person to not consume some content wether movies, tv shows, or even YouTube for entertainment. He tacitly admitted to having at least one television by admitting to having consoles. Even if she is a boomer Nancy doesn’t have to have played one to understand they must be plugged into a Tv, she’s seen ads and at least some pop culture. Does she really believe that there isn’t a television in his house that at least occasionally isn’t used to watch shit?
The one time she admitted having been tipped off, the portion she asked about was 100% accurate. I would absolutely bet that tip included that he likely has 3 TVs, She asked enough to verify, but not enough to play her hand. If she’s to take Phil at face value, he does absolutely nothing for fun, has no hobbies, and no entertainment. Despite having plenty of means to entertain himself and his wife with his “business related” “equipment,” honest injun Phil would never use those personally and instead stares out the window for fun...
The questions she didn’t ask were almost as telling as those she did.
and by the way guys you are really missing the importance of the tax returns. Based on the difficult and diligent work
@actually and
@SoapQueen1 did he filled out his taxes relatively correctly, i.e. with smaller and believable expenses and including his tips. y’all have it backwards, the problem is that he is claiming business expenses on his bankruptcy that if true would decrease his taxable income dollar for dollar: 5k of business expenses are present on his bankruptcy filing but are absent on his taxes, because he would owe a lot less if they were claimed on his taxes.
