The FTX Saga and Divorce Forensic Accounting

Some common themes I see playing out here, that I see all the time as a divorce forensic accountant:

1. Property records are often public and provide a verified source of information. HOWEVER, they are not the end all be all, as additional information (mortgage docs, account statements...etc.) will be needed to tell where the funds came from. It will get figured out, I can almost guarantee there is a whole loaf of breadcrumbs over there.

2. If the funds came from FTX, I would not be surprised. Some people are actually brazen enough to think they are above the law and don't owe their shareholders (or spouse in the case of divorce) any fiduciary duty.
