If I understand correctly, he's already been converted to an asset case, so that particular ship has sailed if that was his goal. My guess is he realized Nancy was coming for his shit and is trying to hide it under whatever exemption Rochelle thinks has a snowball's chance of working.
If that's the strategy he's implementing it very strangely. Trying to have stupid statues of scorpion in his original box treated as communal property with his wife under an exemption intended for things like the household refrigerator, and pots and pans is just going to backfire. The remote pay off of having his statues (which he is on public record trying to liquidate) as exempt household essentials is so stupid, it's more likely to piss everyone off and invite further scrutiny.
If we are lucky we will be treated to a run down of his current statues like we got for his consoles
Scorpion?
- Yes it's a household good, appliance, furniture, and home and yard equipment, which does not to exceed six thousand five hundred dollars in value for comfortable maintenance of the individual or community and I do still own it. *snort*
She hulk?
- Yes it's a household good, appliance, furniture, and home and yard equipment, which does not to exceed six thousand five hundred dollars in value for comfortable maintenance of the individual or community and I do still own it *burp* oh excuse me
whatever he gets under the exemption is clearly capped at $6500, and he'll need the exemption to cover things like his refrigerator and coffee machine as well as his statues.
Is there a highly regarded, current account of the statues in his possession? Some possible gay ops would be to take the list to a serious expert for a valuation, then attach the valuation to a statutory declaration.
