Sorry new cuck here, been lurking since this fiasco began.
Chris did say that he took the money. but only after Null called him out on it. Since Bella may have had access to Chris' account, and Christory shows that he likes using the same account info across multiple accounts. couldn't there be a chance that Bella had some sort of access to Barb's bank account and transferred the money and Chris was unaware initially? Chris may have taken the money infusion as "a blessing" and didn't know where the money was from. We know that Bella was in contact with Chris until the arrest. Chris was also talking about "blessings", and when called out on it by Null, Chris may have been told to say that he did it instead of Bella since it's obvious she's been manipulating him for the longest time.

I know we probably shouldn't look at Chris' delusions and his weird phrasings like "blessings" too deeply since he is obviously unreliable, but after the most recent drop of info, Bella had her claws a lot deeper into Chris than we thought.
is it worth asking Null how long it took Chris to respond to him exposing the deposit from Bard? because his response time could reflect if Chris was speaking to Bella about it.
