I have this nagging feeling that KE is/was a friend of the Stern Family and he is responsible for bringing her into ANS's life.
She's like a snake who hides under a rock...In fact, there's two snakes under that rock.
I couldn't figure out how Howard was doing this all by himself....UNTIL I found out more about KE.
The script would be: Howard would ask Anna to do something. She would say "no, maybe, I don't know".
Then Anna would go to KE...and Anna would ADVISE her..(I do this with my best friend, ALL THE TIME).
So, now Anna has two opinions and makes a decision. Geez...
The drugs...Hell, not only did they play mind games with her...They doped her up and kept everything about her money under Howard's control.
I'd love to see KE's bank accounts. This is all about laundering and murder. Howard wanted it all NOW because he believed the Marshall case was dead in the water....or would go on for years and there would be debts to pay.
Laundering worked perfectly.
