Interesting idea. I never thought of it that way. Never followed the Thompson thing and didn't realize how wealthy he really was. But what would HKS gain if Anna ran off with Thompson? Wouldn't he be thrown out with this weeks trash?
Anna would not have ran off with Thompson. She would married him for money and kept her lawyer nearby and who knows maybe they would have killed Thompson off or waited until she could get a hefty divorce settlement.
Thompson has money - he drop $900,000 on that house in the Bahamas. He is probably not a billionaire though.
