“Follow that Carry-all” : if $475,000 never makes it into GW’s probated estate, its mountie money

Here, in NS Probate Court, is where Wortman CI theory will be tested

If solving murder mysteries were like academic science, here within is a grant proposal to test “The Palango CI Hypothesis”.

Its simple, really: elegant and rigorous as the physicists like so much to say.

If the $475,000 in $100 bills in Wortman’s carryall ends up in the Wortman estate as legally probated by the Public Trustee of Nova Scotia, it really was GW’s money —— through how obtained and whether income tax was ever paid on it remain open questions for further scientists to answer.

But if the carryall remains in mountie hands, that is a de facto admission by our saviours-in-red-serge that the money was never “really” GW’s in the first place.

Rather it was RCMP money - ours, the taxpayers, money - meant to be used in a big drug buy with the Hells Angels that went horribly (23 dead) wrong....
