Courtney Catches Thieves, Tracks Down Family Money

It's really no secret that C. Lo has been dealing with some serious cash flow problems. Even if one isn't able to translate her many rants on MySpace or Twitter, there tends to be a common theme to the tirades involving mysterious Cobains popping up around the country and buying houses with her and Frances Bean's money. Or something. On March 18th she wrote, in part:

"we were just looking at Cobains over 100 years of age, there are none so these peopel ALL HAVE PROPERTY< they all own PROPERTY, there are 1000s and 1000s of these using my and my daughters surname. Kurt is DEAD. yet he owns under his ssn over 2000 properties, under a few other names even more, do you get it? they stole HIS money were forced to use HIS surname and bought REAL property."

The NY Post further explains, "A team of investigators, forensic accountants and lawyers found that Cobain's estate had been looted of more than $30 million cash and up to $500 million in real estate." Love's lawyer noted they'll be filing civil cases soon, and told Page Six, "I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude. This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy." Love allegedly didn't notice the money was disappearing as she battled drug addictions, but once she sobered up began to connect the dots. So far they've tracked down $30 million, but will keep scouring the earth for the rest. In the meantime, Love is investing in some New York real estate for her and her daughter, though she told Heeb magazine she was dreading the move here.

Sounds like maybe the people around her liked to keep her drugged up. Too bad she's weak enough to let them.

Fraud, greed & moral turpitude? In America? NAH. This country's reputation is worth its weight in securitized paper gold certificates!

She was dreading her move here? How about all the New Yorkers that felt the same way?

Oh, God, the I-hate-Courtney crap is forever fresh, isn't it? How original it all is!

Evidently this lawyer has not actually met his client.

Serves her right for paying more attention to herself and her own bullshit instead of thinking about how everything connected to Kurt's death could affect her daughter. And then she says that her losses are much worse than anything Madoff made off with. What a fucking megalomaniacal bitch!

"she says that her losses are much worse than anything Madoff made off with."

That quote was from her lawyer, not from her. Yep, hyperbole from an attorney!
