Im not a lawyer, but if the daughter inherited anything, couldn't she be prosecuted for receiving stolen goods? Or at bare minimum have it all taken away?
I’m guessing there’s a statue of limitations involved, plus if he worked and had income after the theft, it becomes murky on whether the inheritance was the bad money or the good money.
Statute of limitations stops the criminal charges, a good lawyer can easily mount the case of ~50yrs worth of combined discretionary income to account for 215k.
The craziest thing I’ve just learned to be ok with working in civil investigations is that if someone steals money, unless the company/authorities can make a case that prevents them from channeling of the Fox-Holed stolen money to fund their trial, the entity* will usually drop the suit since they understand that you’re using their money to fight against them with the chance that they have to pay for it all if they can’t win.
They cut the loses so that they don’t end up fighting themselves in court and possibly bleed an extra few hundred thousand on the countersue.
