Judge rules Tom Benson needs assistance in managing assets

ScottF · 02-11-2015, 05:43 PM

They are not assisting, they are monitoring. So if Benson tries to move a significant of money before the final ruling, the two "receivers" can document it. Does anyone actually believe a court-appointed accountant is going to tell Benson how to handle his money?

He looks a lot more alert than I do.

Everyone lucky enough, gets old. Keeping your mind is a bonus for sure if you get there. If Benson IS actually in his right mind, he has nothing to fear. If he is NOT in his right mind, then Rita is doing the right thing.
We just have to wait and see.

Imo Benson should do whatever he wants with his money. Parents are under no obligation to leave their kids one red cent beyond what they have bought into or earned. If he wants to whipe is ass with 100s that his his business. If his kids saw that he was slipping mentally they should have set up power of attorney while he was still able to maintain his wits. That would have settled things immediatly instead of putting the entire families name and reputation in the publics faces.

And that's exactly what he did. He made a business decision - an otherwise wise one - only now he's changed his mind. Unfortunately for him he now has to navigate the "system". Nobody forced him to do what he did with all that money and those assets. This is simply how the game is played.

We have it backwards in America.

We revere the youth and cast away our elders.

Oh, what wisdom could do for our future.....

I don't need a lame-ass judge to tell me Benson is "under pressure".... What the hell does a judge know about that kind of pressure anyway???

Let's get it straight - TOM BENSON built his empire.

Not Rita.
Not the estranged daughter we've never heard of.
Not the ex wife.
Not anyone else who's name isn't TOM Freakin' BENSON.

oppss neither did his new wife. she is new to seen so i give rita and the x more credit
