WEBVTT - The Athlete Whisperer: Ep. 8, It's a Very Crazy Family 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.320 On September sixth, nineteen eighty five, elkins biological father. 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:07.560 Elkin, who was pretending to be Peggy's brother but is 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:08.360 really her son. 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.959 Yeah, elkins biological father Elkin Simpson Senior, was killed in 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.840 a plane crash. At the time of his death, Elkin 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.959 Simpson Senior was in the process of divorcing Elkins's mother, Peggy, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.160 but a final divorce decree had not yet been entered. Accordingly, 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.560 Peggy filed the wrongful death suit against the airline company 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.600 as a surviving spouse, from which at least two hundred 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.800 thousand dollars was set aside for elkins benefit. Apparently, the 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.519 last of the settlement funds, approximately fifty thousand dollars, was 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.000 used by Peggy in around two thousand and five as 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:49.000 a down payment for a condominium she purchased in Louisiana. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.640 I'm Jonathan Walton and this is a bonus episode of 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:59.560 Queen of the Cohn The Athlete Whisperer, Episode eight. It's 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.360 a Very Crazy Family where my buddy Evan Goldstein and 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:08.000 I review a bunch of insane lawsuits and appeals filed 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:14.039 by Peggy and her son Elkin for various scammy reasons. Whoo, 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.640 this is like a novel here, so I'll tell you 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.640 that the cliffs notes Peggy's first husband died in a 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:20.560 plane crash. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:21.800 Wow. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.440 But when he died in that plane crash, they were 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.640 separated for five years, but they were not officially divorced 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.800 on paper. They were just separated. But she had remarried 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.440 someone else while she was on paper married to this 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.880 guy who died in the plane crash. So five years 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.119 after they separate, the guy dies in a plane crash, 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.840 which is Elkin's biological father, the one who died in 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:47.240 the plane crash. Peggy, seizing that she's still married to 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:52.600 him on paper, tries to get the rights to the 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.440 settlement that the airline made in the lawsuit that was 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.320 filed for wrongful death in the amount of two hundred 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.200 thousand dollars. Peggy tries to get that two hundred thousand 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.320 dollars for herself. So in nineteen eighty five, Peggy is 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.880 newly married to doctor Forrest King and living in a 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.880 mansion in Atlanta down the street from Whitney Houston. When 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.760 she plans to scam the airline and her previous husband's 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.680 current live in girlfriend, Monica out of that two hundred 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.600 thousand dollars wrongful death settlement, and Peggy's childhood friend, Pamela 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.400 Carey is actually a witness to this fraud in progress. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.920 I remember Peggy said she was married to doctor King, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.120 but she had to annul the marriage so that she 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.520 could get the benefits from Elkin's father. And it didn't 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.920 make sense to me, but that's what I was told initially. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.480 But she was about to come into a large sum 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.040 of money. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.000 She files a lawsuit trying to take possession of that 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.520 two hundred thousand dollars settlement. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.760 Simpson versus King, Supreme Court of Georgia decided September eleventh, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.200 nineteen eighty nine. Appelly missus Forest King. That's Peggy was 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:08.359 named administratis. It sounds like a dominatrix, sounds sexual. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.160 It's just a female administrator. This is a court in Georgia. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.760 A Pelly, missus Forest King was named administratis of decedent 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.799 Elkin Stanley Simpson's estate. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.400 Decedent is a term that's generally used in law governing 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.760 estates and trusts in reference to a person who has died. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.760 An application challenging the appelles appointment filed by the appellent 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.560 Monica Simpson was denied by the probate court. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:37.320 So Monica was the woman Elkin Senor was gonna marry. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.000 Monica was the woman Elkin's dad, Elkin. It gets confusing 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.120 because they're both named Elkin. He was going to marry her. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.120 He'd been separated from Peggy for five years. They weren't 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.480 legally divorced on paper, but they were divorced for all 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.840 intents and purposes. She'd married someone else in the meantime, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.840 so obviously whatever. So Monica is the woman who fought 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.680 to get this too hundred thousand because they were going 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.480 to get married, and she has a kid for him too, 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.760 So she fought and the court denied her that, so 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.560 she appealed and appealed to appeal, but she lost the 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.600 loss of loss. I reached out to her, she want 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.120 to talk to me, shocker, but Peggy swooped in and 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.480 early on Peggy successfully manages to be named the administrator 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.039 or administrator tricks under Georgia law for Elkin Senior's estate 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.599 so she could get her hands on that two hundred 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.200 thousand dollars wrongful death settlement from the airline and Elkin 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:38.360 Senior's girlfriend, Monica, referred to here as the appellant challenges 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:39.280 that decision. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.520 The appellant appealed to the Fulton County Superior Court, where 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.839 her motion for partial summary judgment was denied, and where 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.280 the Pelly's motion for summary judgment was granted. We affirm 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.680 in part and reverse in part. The pros here is 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.520 just feel like I'm reading Ray Bradberg. The appelli and 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.080 the decendent were married in nineteen seventy. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.640 Eight, referring to Peggy and Elkin Senior's marriage in nineteen 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.520 seventy eight, and she gave. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.039 Birth to a child, Elkin Simpson the second. The couple 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.600 separated in August nineteen eighty, but did not obtain a divorce. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.919 Sometime in nineteen eighty five, the appellant moved into the decedents' 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.080 home to live with him again. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.520 The appellant here is Monica, the woman Elkin Senior was 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:27.080 with after he and Peggy separated. Monica lives with Elkin 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:28.640 Senior for years. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.839 In the course of their cohabitation, the appellant became pregnant, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.560 and they told various family members about their future child. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.440 Mister Simpson instituted divorce proceedings against. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.560 The appelle meaning Peggy, and. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.000 On June twenty fifth, nineteen eighty five, a final alimonium 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.560 property settlement agreement was entered into by the parties. The 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.520 agreement gave mister Simpson custody of Elkin the second and 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.599 awarded the Pelly that's Peggy twenty five hundred dollars for 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.279 her share of the home in which mister Simpson and 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:00.160 the appellant. 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:04.640 Was so in Peggy's pending divorce from Elkin Senior, she 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.760 was going to get twenty five hundred dollars and that's it. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.279 Full custody of her son, Elkin Junior was actually awarded 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:17.559 to his father, Elkin Senior, and not to Peggy, which 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.960 isn't the first time that happens. Shockingly, earlier that same year, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.000 in nineteen eighty five, Peggy married and divorced another guy 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.039 named Irving Rivers, and he got full custody of the 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.560 baby they had together too, not Peggy. So at this 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.359 point Elkin is the second child that Peggy did not 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.240 get custody of for reasons I can only imagine but 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.440 do not know for sure. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.640 The agreement was made in order of the Court on 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.800 August twenty second, nineteen eighty five. On September sixth, nineteen 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.479 eighty five, before the final divorce decree was entered, mister 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.560 Simpson died in an airplane crash in Wisconsin. The appelly 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.760 aka Peggy, applied to be named administratics of mister Simpson's 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:10.119 intestate estate as surviving spouse on September eleventh, nineteen eighty five, 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.160 five days after the fatal accident. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.440 And that to me just says she's a con woman. 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.040 She separated from this guy for five years, the divorce 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.240 is almost final, she married a whole other guy, and 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.520 then she's circling back to say, oh, I should get 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.000 this is my husband. He's still my husband. Yeah, like 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.760 how low? I don't know how low? Knowing full well 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.560 she's cheating the other woman who he was with and 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.400 had a kid with, out of the money, she doesn't care. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.760 The Fulton County Probate Court judge appointed the appelle as 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:47.360 temporary administratics of the decedent's estate on September thirteenth, nineteen 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.360 eighty five. The appellant, as next friend of the decedent's 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.600 unborn child, Tristan, filed a petition to remove the appellee 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.240 as the administratics of the estate. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.560 And this is Monica. Monica had the son, Tristan, Monica's 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.040 trying to get the rights to that money because he 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.560 was with her before he died, and according to her, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:06.560 they planned to get married. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.640 Subsequently, the appellant claimed to be mister Simpson's common law wife. 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.400 After a hearing, the probate Court found that no common 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.400 law marriage existed between the appellant and mister Simpson. The 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.120 court ruled that the appellant had no standing individually or 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.840 on behalf of Tristan to petition the court for Appelli's removal. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:32.640 After Tristan was born, the decedent's parents voluntarily underwent blood tests, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.560 which showed a ninety nine point seven percent probability that 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.719 the decedent was Tristan's father exactly. The trial court did 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.920 not air in the part of its order which granted 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.040 some rejudgment to the appelle on the issue of the 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.480 common law marriage. There was no common law marriage between 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.000 the appellant and the decedent. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.760 I'm looking at common law marriage in Georgia. Ooh, Georgia 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.920 is not a common law state. Ah, so that's why 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.679 she got fucked there Georgia doesn't recognize common law marriages. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.040 You see score one for scammer Peggy. Peggy was still 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.520 married on paper even though she wasn't really married and 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.560 she married a whole other guy. Meanwhile, the woman he's 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:17.400 really with for years and has his son is not 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.959 allowed to get this two hundred thousand dollars. So sad. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.120 It really is the system fucking the victim over god. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.280 Ah. Mister Simpson's actions indicated that he was in the 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.679 process of taking all the necessary steps to ensure that 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.120 the child whom he and the appellant had conceived would 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.000 be born into a legitimate family environment. He proudly told 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.240 his family and friends that he and the appellant were 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.800 going to have a child. Everything necessary for his divorce 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.240 from his estranged wife, Missus Forest King, was complete except 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.520 for the final decree one. He planned to marry the 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.520 appellant as soon as the divorce became final, which would 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.240 have been prior to Tristan's birth. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.840 And this just shows you the two kinds of people 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.400 were dealing with hair. He was waiting for an official 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.880 divorce on paper before he married again. She didn't fucking wait. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.560 She went and married again, even though that's technically against 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.440 the law. Did anyone prosecute or know No. Meanwhile, she's married, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.719 she's reaching back in time to try to get her 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.040 ex husband. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.000 The money that should be going to them. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.120 Yeah, it's so ugh. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.840 The fact that mister Simpson listed the appellant on his 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.600 insurance suggests that he had already begun to think of 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.680 them as family. There is clear and convincing evidence that 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.760 mister Simpson intended for his unborn child to be born 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:37.120 into a legitimate family environment. Thus his unexpected death will 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.480 not defeat Tristan's claim. The trial court should not have 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.800 granted summary judgment to the appelle and the trial court 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.840 should not have denied partial summary judgment to the appellant 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.360 on that issue. The only reason missus King can be 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.240 considered a surviving spouse is because the final divorce decree 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.120 had not been entered. However, she may not inherit from 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:03.360 the decedent's estate. Mister Simpson's child, Tristan, may inherit under 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.440 the doctrine of virtual legitimation, and the appelle has no 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.040 interest in the estate of the decedent and may not 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.040 serve as administrators of his estate. As a surviving spouse 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.600 judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part. All the 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:22.520 justices concur except Belle J that fucking asshole who dissents, 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.800 and Welter J Not participating. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.079 Here's where it gets interesting. Once Elkin becomes an adult, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.319 he files a scammy lawsuit too, and you won't believe 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:43.720 against who after the break Welcome back to Queen of 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.640 the con Here's where it gets interesting. While they did 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.960 not grant Peggy, as a surviving spouse, the right to 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.320 that two hundred thousand dollars settlement from the airline for 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:59.040 wrongful death, they did ear market for Peggy's son, Elkin, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.000 who is all so Elkin's senior son, Elkin to get 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.320 when he's eighteen years old. So they put it into 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.920 an account with doctor Forest King's name, which is Peggy's 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.000 third husband who she was with at the time when 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.040 all this transpired, and Peggy's name is on the account too. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.720 So years go by, apparently because of this lawsuit, nobody 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.280 tells Elkin he's got two hundred thousand dollars in an 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.400 account with his name. In November of twenty eighteen, Elkin 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:31.720 sues his stepfather, doctor Forest King, and several crazy Appeals 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.080 follow This was filed in May of twenty twenty three, 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.160 so like seven months ago, seven months ago, so this. 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.160 Is still press in the United States Court of Appeals 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:46.040 for the Eleventh Circuit. Elkin King versus Forrest King Junior, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.720 Elkin King brought a diversity suit against his former stepfather, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.000 Forrest King Junior. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.440 All a diversity suit means is that it involves parties 0:12:55.520 --> 0:13:01.200 from different states. So remember Elkin's biological father, Elkin, died 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.439 in a plane crash in nineteen eighty five and his stepfather, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.840 Peggy's third husband, is doctor Forrest King. And in November 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:09.679 of twenty. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:14.960 Eighteen, Elkin King brought a diversity suit against his former stepfather, 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.000 Forrest King Junior, alleging that Forrest owed him a fiduciary 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.400 duty to disclose the existence of certain settlement funds arising 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.439 from the wrongful death of Elkin's biological father. Peggy filed 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.120 the wrongful death suit against the airline company as a 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.960 surviving spouse on behalf of herself and Elkin in nineteen 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.800 eighty nine, when Elkin was approximately eleven. Peggy and the 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.720 airline company reached a settlement agreement from which at least 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.199 two hundred thousand dollars was set aside for elkins benefit. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.040 Peggy's attorney suggested that the settlement fund should be placed 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.040 in an account in her then husband, Forrest's name. Peggy agreed, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.640 and so the settlement fund's check was made out to 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.600 both Peggy and Forrest on behalf of Elkin. Forrest then 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.680 placed the settlement funds in a separate account entitled Elkin's Account, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.960 with custodian of Forest King at Charles Schwab in Atlanta, Georgia. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.080 The party's dispute whether Peggy was also a party to 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.400 the account. There's no evidence that a formal written trust 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.080 governing the use of these settlement funds ever existed. Forest 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.040 and Peggy divorce in approximately February nineteen ninety nine, when 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.320 Elkin was twenty years old. The party's dispute whether Forrest 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.400 turned over control of the account to Peggy following the divorce, 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.040 but it's undisputed that Forest's name was on the account 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.760 until at least the divorce. Apparently, the last of the 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.760 settlement funds, approximately fifty thousand dollars, was used by Peggy 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.240 in around two thousand and five as a down payment 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.760 for a condominium she purchased in Louisiana. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.320 Okay, So that sentence is the most damning of this 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:50.960 whole thing. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.160 Becaustically saying, my mom spent that last fifty thousand dollars 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.680 on this condo in Louisiana. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.840 And if history is any indicator, what does that inf 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.080 for about the rest of the money. She probably spent 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.880 the rest of the money too, Yes, she spent the 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.360 last of it. So can you figure out why the 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.040 hell Elkin is suing doctor Forst King for this, not 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.240 his mother. Why are you assuing Doctor Forrest King? When 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:13.880 Peggy went out of her way to try to get 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.880 that money for herself, could not get that money for herself. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.000 Instead got the money deposited into account that her and 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.520 doctor Force King held in trust for Elkin when he 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.760 turned eighteen. Nobody told Elkin about the account. I suspect 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.040 because by the time Elkin turned of age, there was 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:28.760 no money left. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.400 Elkin testified in a deposition that he first learned about 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.760 the settlement funds in twenty seventeen from his maternal grandfather. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.040 Elkin also testified that he would have taken control of 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.760 the settlement funds had he known about them when he 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:42.360 was eighteen. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.800 That's a gaping chasm of a whole in Elkin's story 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.080 and in Peggy's story. So Peggy didn't even tell him 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.360 about the account. She's his mother. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.000 Yeah, I would, I would have taken I would have 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.880 taken control of the account when I was eighteen had 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.920 I known about it, although my mother spent the last 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.320 fifty thousand dollars. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.480 Of it, and I think she's either in prison or 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.480 about to go to prison at this point, so maybe 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.640 he didn't want to bother her with this. Mom. I 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 know you're going to prison, but why didn't you tell 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.320 me about the two hundred grand I should have got 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.320 when I was eighteen? And keep in mind that account 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.720 had both Peggy's name and the name of Peggy's third husband, 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.560 doctor Forst King, who was Elkin's stepfather. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.840 It does seem like a money grab here. Ah Forrest meanwhile, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.120 testified in a deposition that he informed Elkin about the 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.200 existence of the settlement funds when Elkin was around seventeen 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.120 or eighteen years old. So it's like he said, she. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.440 Said, kind of thing he said he said, and I 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.600 believe he said. Yeah. Well, because we have a well 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:39.160 documented history of Elkin lying to Dennis Rodman pretending to 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.600 be Peggy's brother for literally years. Yeah, I don't believe anything, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.320 Elkin says. I believe doctor Forest King, who was a 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.840 doctor who has never been accused of any fraud or 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.920 crime or lie, who built a successful life, a successful practice, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.640 a management company, started a sports management company that Peggy 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.880 took over. I believe doctor Forest King. Here. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.600 On November thirty, twenty eighteen, Elkin sued Forest in the 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.479 Middle District of Florida. In his amended complaint, Elkin alleged 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.000 that Forrest converted Elkin's settlement funds, and that Forrest breached 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.320 fiduciary duties to Elkin under Georgia law because he won, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.360 failed to disclose and concealed the fact of the settlement, 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.440 and two failed and refused to account for the settlement 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.320 fund proceeds or to pay the proceeds to Elkin. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.560 Elkin is accusing Forest of stealing the money when he 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.760 says converted. In Georgia law, when you lawfully obtain another 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.960 person's money or property and then unlawfully converted to your own, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.760 theft by conversion is applicable. So when he said he 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:40.000 converted it, he's accusing doctor Forest King of stealing the money. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.520 Which keep in mind here, doctor Forest King is a 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.520 rich man. He lives in a baller mansion in the 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.680 neighborhood where Whitney, Houston and Usher lived, you know, outside 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.480 of Atlanta. And he's a doctor. He started his medical 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.479 management company, he started a sports management company that eventually 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.240 get to Peggy. He really did make a lot of 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.359 money in Wall Street. He really was a doctor. He 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.639 didn't pretend to be a doctor like she pretended to 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.480 be a lawyer. He was a successful, good man. He's 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.560 got a lot of money. He doesn't need to be 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.800 stealing or swindling Outkin out of anything, nor do I 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.840 think he would. But this lawsuit's claiming he stole that money, 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.920 which I don't believe he did. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.560 And like, let's say, in a world where you're wrong, right, 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.240 like he did, but so did his mother, So like that, 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:27.920 like that's the anomaly of this. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.119 I agree if you want to give the benefit of 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.400 the doubt to Peggy, though I don't imagine anyone should 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.159 or could or would. Maybe they both stole it, but 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.600 what's more likely it's a convicted con woman sitting in 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.480 prison stole the many yes, or this doctor who's never 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:42.480 done a bad thing in his. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.960 Life, and the fact that he's not mentioning her. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.480 We need a judge dread type society where people aren't 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.320 allowed to pursue this bullshit judge, jury and executioners. Yes, 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.359 you have three intelligent people saying, you know what, Elkin, 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.840 this doesn't make any fucking sense. Your mom's a convicted conwoman. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.959 You're saying she spent some of the money, and now 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:08.080 you want to hold doctor Forrest King responsible. No, no, no, dismissed. Yeah. Yeah, 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.600 we need a judge dread society because these frivolous lawsuits 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.520 are clogging up the system and harming innocent people like 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.240 doctor Forest King. Another thing I want to point out 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.080 here is that doctor Force King was actually a loving 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.720 stepfather to Elkin when he was growing up. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.679 Doctor King was extremely nice and very kind. 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.840 Showrunner Andrina Hale again, who got to know doctor Forest 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.800 King and Elkin very well while producing American Gangster Trap 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.680 Queens That be Et documentary about Peggy. 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.200 Doctor King would not steal money from Elkin. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.919 I don't know what happened to the money, but well, 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.639 I mean, if you had to guess what happened to. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.359 The money, this is true, but to blame it on 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:54.719 doctor King, it's just like, yeah, I can't believe it. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.920 And he's like, I feel like, you know, he suffered 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.800 that relationship with doctor King because you know, doctor Forest 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.760 felt like he had helped to raise Elkin and that 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.400 treated him as his own son. Alkin even talks about 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.040 when Alcoln was playing like bough like football in college, 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.800 doctor Forest would fly from Florida to the West Coast 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.560 where whatever school Elkin was in, and he would like 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.240 watch him play, like he'd be there for his games. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:22.600 So you're going to sue him. 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.880 The official phrasing is breach of fiduciary relationship. He's accusing 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.040 of not telling him about the money, which doctor King says, 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.720 that's not true. I did tell him when he was seventeen, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.040 and of course he did tell him. Doctor King's not 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.720 a scammer. No, you start a hard working doctor who 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.520 can make tons of money doing anything exactly. So, I mean, 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:41.280 that's unfortunate. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:42.640 It's a very crazy family. 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.440 Back to my conversation with Evan following discovery, reading from 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.000 one of the many legal filings chronicling Elkin's quest to 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.200 sue his stepfather, doctor Forest King. 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.920 Forrest moved for summary judgment on October fourteen, twenty nineteen, 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.560 on both his statute of limitations to and on the merits. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.280 In turn, Elkin moved for partial summary judgment on his 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.680 claims on March thirty, twenty twenty. 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.159 And what happens next in this crazy court case I 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:22.159 could have never predicted After the break, Welcome back to 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.480 Queen of the con My buddy Evan is reading from 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.160 the latest round of court filings in Elkins's attempts to 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.840 sue his stepfather, doctor Forrest King. 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:36.040 On August twenty four, twenty twenty, the District Court granted 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.240 summary judgment for Forrest with respect to Elkins's failure to 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.119 disclosed claim. We certified the following three questions to the 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:44.440 Supreme Court of Georgia. 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.760 It baffles me how Peggy doesn't come up in any 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.840 of these questions. No, because she's the mother. Her name's 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:51.680 on the account. He almos on the track. 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.199 Yeah, he's going pretty hard after this guy. He's just 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.120 like you know now on an appeal. This is twenty 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.600 twenty three, Like he wants he wants this to happen. 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.600 He wants money from Forest King, Forest King, you know, 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.600 sounds like he's got a lot of money. If the 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:08.520 adult fiduciary does have an obligation to disclose to the 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.480 minor beneficiary directly without a written agreement, when must the 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:17.239 adult fiduciary disclose or redisclose to the minor beneficiary? This 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.400 is just enthralling sentence structure. 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.280 It is. But earlier it was admitted that doctor Forrest 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.720
