Yesterday, Ronald Richards, the attorney investgsting for the bankruptcy case of Girardi Keese, Tom Girardi’s law firm, told : “The show is a treasure trove of self-authenticating admissions from non-scripted actors who did not anticipate that many months later those statements would come back to haunt them or that they would be investigated.
“This is because none of the have a duty to tell the truth on television. They are now caught in [an] undesirable legal position, were they lying then or now.”
Ronald also told on Friday: "There’s a lot of inconsistent statements and admissions made by the non-scripted actors that we’re putting together to use in court."
He added his lawyers are “going to take discovery from people that used to work for her.”
As to when Erika could be questioned, Ronald shared: “There’s a lot of things we’re still trying to uncover.
We are going to be deposing her (Erika) at some point, but I want to get all the documents first. What’s important right now is following the money.”
