Divorce do-over?

It would be funny if the judges rule in the guy's favor, allowing them to change the divorce settlement and award him some money, only for him (and her) to later be sued by the Gov't to recoup that money since it "never really existed."

I don't know the answer to the recouping question but she didn't cash in at the very end.

When they divorced, she took her funds from Madoff. That was a full 2+ years before shit hit the fan.

It's not like she got out "just in time" and he was left holding the bag.

I agree with everyone else, he took his risks and lost. She shouldn't have to pay for it.

The real what if, and this is a big what if: Did she know it was a ponzi scheme? Did she make any statements that she thinks it was a big fake out? Anything like that.


Wait, no. She still got out on her own, cashed in and moved on. Dude is a douche, he lost big. Stop fucking with your ex and move on.
