Child- I’m you’re son and all your words about what you wanted for the the future of this family must also have been lies. I have virtually no money to speak of and live in a modest middle class home that I don’t own. This is all your talk of what how you would set up a legacy for generations of the Gouiran family? What you want money from me? Take away another place to live? East Loop Road mansion – Gone Church-MIDI – Gone 14th Street – Gone Apt uptown – Gone Whatever you had in Norway -I hope you still have.

So I care more about “ill gotten gains” ? Dad you liquidated 100,000 in my little but only 401K while I was in the hospital you placed me at. Maybe that, left alone would be enough to buy a modest home? But do you really just want me to have nothing? You already done that, ok? At least I have some of the innate abilities I gained from you and can make a living doing things that require particular skills and knowledge and I help people and try to do a good, fair job for people. My brothers, you’ve left helpless with your words and lies. I reached out to you to salvage the last remaining what 15 years of life we might share together. I did it by video and looked at you. I said maybe, foolishly, I’d introduce you to my most beloved daughter. But all you care is to ask me for money? Look I’ll show you my balance sheet, I’ve more liabilities than assets. You want to do the same to my mother? Can’t you rest knowing that you’ve nearly accomplished your goals in destroying her and all of us financially? You have won that already! What I have is a loving wife and stepson and my daughter and my mother and they’re my family and I try to save Steven if I can. I hope Alan can help pull himself up. I invited you in again not for money but because I’m stupid and sentimental. What more money do you want? You really want to make my life less comfortable? I can live with that. I still have family and my remaining health and I’ll be ok. Do what thou wilt. But stop pretending it’s not within your capacity to stop this and prove everyone wrong and change the ending to this nightmare and maybe re-write the script a little where you turn out alright, at least with me. I’m home now. I have my computer if you want to try zoom.

Dad-“Your missive should be addressed to your mother. She sold E Entry against my wishes and advise. She abandoned the marital domicile against my wishes and refused all possibilities of reconciliation. She sold the two Manhattan Appartments against my wishes and advice. She sold 2060 Hylan boulevard against my advise and wishes. God only knows how she squandered the rest of the properties. In cash she stole hundreds of thousands from certificates at New Jersey and Staten Island banks. She stole € 100.000 from accounts in Europe. She stole € 35.000 from the insurance payout for the fire at 392 Forest ave. And she never paid the $435,000 from JANNEY which she was required to do – and that is but a partial list. Then acting with you, she stole more than $ 357,000 from the trust. more than $ 600,000 in unpaid life estate payments, half her tax bill for € 200.000, and cost me so far $ 72,238 in legal fees defending her false affidavits and criminal complaints.

Unless she purposely wasted the money, she cannot have less than millions in cash and real estate and paying back what she should never have had plus the rate of inflation is an effortless undertaking but for her avaricious personality.

You were but an ignorant fool hoping to manipulate your access to those monies and she outdid you. Today unless she pays the Trust you will be indicted and be compelled to pay what you allowed to be taken illegally (she too of course).

As to your funds, I used them to pay your medical bills including € 62.000 for your hand surgery. I have the bills and proof of payment. There was no left over, on the contrary.

Your mother received over $3 million worth of real estate – all free and clear by her and lawyer’s own appraisal. She received tons of cash accounts. Yet she had to steal, put you at risk to steal more, and even as I had not initiated a lawsuit since 1997, repeatedly harass and harm me. The English garage was the last straw – but even then she was asked amicably to sign the transfer form – she refused then asked for €3000 to sign it !

By my count the $ 3 million that will be collected from her is but a minor percentage of her real net worth.

But we don’t have to destroy you in the process. Get her to settle. If you do, what Is recovered will undoubtedly be partially distributed to all six of my children.

To reach a viable goal you have to see your mother for the thief she is, and for the person willing to sacrifice anyone in her way to hurt me and where possible steal more of my money.

To save yourself you have to stop fighting her battles.

I do not seek to harm you, but you must deal with your illegal takings even if ultimately your mother was the beneficiary of your misdeeds. Help me to reach a settlement and there will be no need for litigation and criminal processes.

Son-“You are the master of what you perceive. You look at something and then decide what emotion to apply to it. You decide what type of person you want to be what actions you can take to further the purpose of (G)o(o)d.

Dad-“Tone and insults The first thing to recognize is that your approach will not work. I have no problem differentiating reality from the factual premise for litigation. Insulting my intelligence and asserting that my allegations are lies only parrots your mother and the extremes of her disingenuous fantasies in my regard. That you fell victim to her lies, or that you orchestrated her wrongful conduct does not give you license to insult me. As we know you started our contact in the hope of extracting a litigation advantage. It didn’t work because you insist in advocating your mother’s interest. You are precisely the master of your perceptions as is your mother and both of you operate in a reality of your own from which there is no escape. I’ll leave you to your bravado beliefs on the success of the litigation. There is no point in pursuing this because you and your mother are hopelessly controled by the experiences of your past behavior. I’ll leave you with the reminder that I never lost a lawsuit, I suffered drawbacks because of a legal disability preventing my appearance and you and your mother and lawyers abused of it.
What then So what of your wife, step son, daughter ?

You risk economic disaster, disbarment and prison. This to protect a woman who has abused this entire family leading it here on the edge of the cliff.

Would they want you to continue taking the heat in your hopeless endeavor to protect her ill gotten spoils?

I dare say that presented with the opportunity to separate yourself from her and avoid a disaster they would overwhelmingly want you to settle. But you won’t because – why.

Bad Dad -“Settlement You must speak for both of your interest and I need that in writing from your mother. You must then ask me to entertain settlement discussion in a letter signed by both of you and scanned to me. We can then work on the demands espoused in each of the five claims (6 with the one to start in the UK where I am appearing Pro Hac Vice) You can then start the good faith discussion following your first offer. This can be done directly or through your lawyer. That depends on the emotional fiber presented by you and your mother and it will require that you be specific not general, and that you leave out the insults and the « you need help… » Discussions through your lawyer will be expensive and hopelessly time consuming, but if you can’t control your and your mother’s emotions, we can join her in our exchanges. I have a wholly satisfying life surrounded by people who love and respect me, honored by associations and professional bodies. It is obvious that your mother has deprived you and your brothers of that, thus producing a highly dysfunctional bunch. You have full knowledge of the basis for the claims. Your mother should wire $ 30.000 and her statement that she has no rights or title to the Triumph and save herself another suit in the UK. That will set the climate for good faith, and eliminate a very expensive lawsuit in the UK. It’s the smallest and easiest. Should be done this week. Dad

Dad- “Settlement The $30,000 settles the two English garage related claims including the UK suit which you will have after July 15th and the French side of it of which the procedural Petition was heard on the 3rd. It’s the smart thing to settle the small stuff first.

Son-“No
That is bullshit.

What is it you want from me specifically? How much? Or is literally you want me in jail? For my Mom, what EXACTLY do you want? No need for lawyers, just say it? What? A special item? Particular real estate (if she still has it?) a sum of money? All of which you will have no concern about how my mother and myself and my brothers will get by? The big number? What is it after all?

I’m waiting? You must know what it is you’re suing for right? I already know the basis fir your claims-as you say-so no need to get into that. Just what?
