Michael Barisone/Lauren Kanarek Civil Suit

[Jealoushe]

No idea but Google gave quite a few articles including Linkd in explaining how to spot them, that one was 2018.

Stop being condescending Trubs. She gets sensitive about that. It hurts her feelings.

But… it’s ok for her to call breast cancer survivors cowards. We don’t have feelings.

These are the rules. If we don’t accept these rules… ‘someone’ will flag our posts and try to get the mods to lock the thread.

No one called breast cancer survivors cowards. I would certainly have picked up on that, being one myself.

Any thoughts about LKs deposition and whether or not she is likely to say she is sick at the last minute and try to delay it?

Threats against LK’s barn should not have happened.

So true. Thank goodness there were not any THREATS against the barn where Lauren Kanarek boards.

@Virginia_Horse_Mom

Has the barn actually ever claimed that they were threatened? Or is it just you claiming that this barn was threatened?

Good point. Kind of like Hut claims that Judge Taylor said that thing about housing and CH said that thing about the content of the police report.

@CurrentlyHorseless

For the legitimate Jonathan Kanarek profiles, are those professionals a good generation younger than JK? LInkedIn is a networking site designed to help professionals advertise themselves for potential new jobs. Do you see many retirees with profiles there?

But…then why does Kirby Kanarek (@Seeker1 have a profile)? She is in the same generation as Jonathan Kanarek is, no?

@Ghazzu

Maybe you could check the availability of “Chevy’s Cup”.
That could be a suitable trophy.

You are brilliant.
That trophy would be prefect for @CurrentlyHorseless!

@Virginia_Horse_Mom

I have apparently been carefully plotting a really elaborate ‘smear’ attempt on JK for over a decade /s

Did you even know that you would know who he was back then? Or were you using some impressive looking into the future skills you have?

2018, you say?

I think that following the money is key to understanding quite a bit about the whole situation.

Fair enough. I just really don’t care where the money comes from. How would knowing that explain the whole situation? (Not being snarky or contrary, I genuinely want to understand.)

I was referring to the other article I mentioned, which was done by Linkd In.

I reckon the K’s income comes from the usual sources of retired upper middle-class professionals. Retirement fund, stocks/bonds, real estate transactions, etc. Same as many of our parents. Nothing worth speculating about.

I respectfully do not concur.

I think that following the money is key to understanding quite a bit about the whole situation.

I think it is VERY strange that the source of the funds that support LK’s lifestyle is so incredibly opaque.

Jonathan Kanarek was admitted to the NY bar in 1978. He apparently worked in the financial industry in New York.

It is not unusual to amass tens of millions of dollars by working as an upper level professional in the financial industry and investing aggressively and shrewdly.

Others have uncovered the information that Kirby’s parents or grandparents were involved in land development and/or oil in Texas. That is also a possible source of tens of millions of dollars.

@hut-ho78: Can you give us examples of one or two of the threats against LK’s barn?

[TwiSedai]

@hut-ho78

You are forgetting a lot. There were threats against LK’s current barn. The attempt to organize complaints against Judge Taylor. The anti-Semitic attack on JK. Calling posters immoral and worse, accusing them of being relatives of the Kanareks or Goodwins for having a different opinion.

I’m behind again but pausing to say that, I’m sorry, but this is a bit ridiculous. There are definitely some things that have been said that I’m iffy on or made me a little uncomfortable, or that I disagree with, but absolutely none of these claims here are at all how it went down. I really think you might need to take a breath and re-evaluate how you are interpreting things.

Wait!
Lauren Kanarek owns a barn?

Did we all completely miss the civil trial??

Waiting for this to get closed because people just can’t ignore.

Meh. Typos and keyboard fumbles happen to everyone. Even to whoever started that page and just abandoned it.

That page means nothing

Kirby seems to have had a typo or screwup on her own linked in page. She has down that she was an ‘Assist’ Principal at a local school in the 90’s.

If she actually was an Assistant Principal (that seems true) their is no doubt that she knows it is almost always abbreviated as ‘AP’ or ‘Asst. Principal’

Just saying.

If you google Assist Principle, there are job postings. It looks like a standard abbreviation.

@eggbutt, what is the fly on the wall up to now? See anything interesting?

Strange, my google skills must not be as good as yours.
Google ignores Assist Principle and makes it Assistant Principal.

I think if we understood the real financial circumstances of each of the key participants in this situation…

We would see what was motivating all of them in much more stark terms.

LK repeatedly bragged on social media… over and over… that she was a woman of “unlimited means.”

Yet… she sure doesn’t behave or live like a woman of unlimited means.

She definitely seems fixated on money though. And flaunting it.

JK also seems to enjoy promoting the image that he has lots of money.

But what if he doesn’t?

What if there is no ‘there’ there for either of them?

What might that mean?

Here are some HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIOS to think about…

If LK and JK were both money obsessed, but neither had access to as much money as they would like, might that make them more inclined to pursue a sketchy scheme that might have resulted in a substantial payout, a settlement of sorts?

What if Steve Tarshis’ testimony about MB being a millionaire was 100% accurate… and the Kanareks actually saw him as a potential “mark” for such a scheme back in early 2019?

What if all the Kanarek talk about MB keeping on LK as a client for so long, because HE financially needed HER… has actually just been a matter of projection all along… and the truth was that the KANAREKS financially needed MB? What if they needed to play out some sort of sketchy scheme, to squeeze him hard for a sizeable payout of some sort before they went away? What if THAT is why LK wouldn’t leave, and why she kept on upping the pressure on MB all summer?

What if the Kanareks actually owed money to a third party? And they were a bit desperate to squeeze a payment out of MB? And that was motivating them in August of 2019?

And… what if JK isn’t the source of the money supporting LK’s lifestyle and horses… if not him… then what is the source of LK’s funds? What if she has been involved in prior conflicts of some kind with other wealthy people prior to having ever met MB… and these conflicts eventually resulted in large financial payments to LK… payments wealthy people made in order to get her to go away quietly…

if that last hypothetical scenario is the reality when it comes to the source of the funds supporting LK’s lifestyle… what might a jury in this civil suit make of that? Might they be more inclined to believe MB was set up this entire time, and decide against LK in the civil suit in a major way? I think that’s a distinct possibility.

[CanteringCarrot]

I just cannot be arsed to care that much about the K’s money.
