I thought about her ploy to get rid of her PI and then use the taxpayers' money for a lawyer for her appeal but given Arias' history, she exaggerates and embellishes everything and I feel she has done that with the amount of money in her coffers.
There is no question that she will use the taxpayers' money if she can as it would be another "gotcha" on her part AND it would allow her more money to use while she is in prison for the other frivolous things.
I agree that she was selling her "artwork" and making money but near the end of the trial, her artwork was going for "2/3 for 1" and they were at drastically reduced prices. People didn't want them like it was lead to believe.
Given the costs of so much, it would not take long for her to go through any money that she raised, donations aside.
She may still have a "sugar daddy" hanging around but her supporters are dropping off like flies and see that any money they donate would be like throwing away.
People file bankruptcy all the time and the Arias family is no different than any other. It relieves them of their debts and they pay a trustee a monthly amount who then pays their creditors with the amount that has been agreed upon. It does not stop income from coming in for the person who declares bankruptcy and many go on to live their lives and even buy stuff until they are released from the bankruptcy issue. I have known students who have had a high educational debt after graduating and getting jobs and eventually declare bankruptcy to clear it. Then they move forward with their lives.
The stigma that used to be surrounding someone who declared bankruptcy is no longer an issue as it is so commonplace now.
No matter what the family of Arias does, they will be criticized as it having something to do with their daughter. Without definitive proof that money being used by the family is from donations to Arias, it becomes, once again, speculation.
Until I see statements showing the huge amount of money that Arias and her family are supposed to have raised and spent, I will doubt any references to it. Just my opinion.
