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.
Heck, i live in California. a $900K house don't impress me much. But if Thompson has so much money, why wouldn't he push Howard out. "That's the deal honey, you want my money, Howies gotta go. We'll bring in our own lawyers to fight your case."
I haven't seen much of this Thompson guy, but if he's a millionaire than he shouldn't be too intimidated by the likes of HKS.
the money wasn't Ben's money. Ford Shelly said his money bought the house. When questioned about the fact that his name wasn't on the dead he said, "It could be"
