The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

After all his family has put him through the answer is a resounding..............YES!

Or...he and Lauren are probably tired of paying her bills!

Just bringing this back to the front page to thank everyone for participating! Personally, I learned a great deal about stocks and insider trading.

Glo and Jeff deserve all the grief they are getting. Michael helps his mother because he "loves" her, why can't Glo show Michael how much she loves him by staying out of trouble. Oh yeah she only loves herself!

Victor was the largest investor in The Caribbean Bank of Corozal in the Cayman Islands.

Previously, Jeffrey blackmailed Gloria out of her $50 million when they divorced. He put all the money in the Cayman bank because he knew Victor had money there and figured it would be safe. Gloria's 5% money for the Jabot stock was there, too.


The events happened in the order listed.

May 1st & 5th:
* Jill, Jeff and Gloria talked about teaming up against Victor.

May 7:
* Nick tells Victor about his concerns about Victor's investment at the Cayman bank
* Nick advises Victor to take his money out because the bank is in trouble
* Nick had a tip, an hired a forensic accountant to evaluate their assets
* Victor tells Nick to handle it. Nick says "Done."
* Gloria confesses to the product tampering and the judge awards Jabot double the damages
* Jeff gets a call that the Cayman bank is going under, and he'll lose his money.


May 11:
* Jill gets a phone call about the bank going under.

May 13:
* Jeff & Glo think they got to the Cayman bank in the nick of time.
* Jill is too late
* A hotel staff member tells Jeff his check is no good
* Jill calls Victor and he tells her, he pulled his money out and he's not an investor there anymore.
* Jill tells him its his fault and he says it's not his responsibility.

-----------------

My speculation of 3 suspects causing the bank collapse.

VICTOR

* Victor had time to set thing ups and let Nick be the one to do the work
* Victor may have moved money around so it looks as if the bank was in trouble
* Jeff took a photo of Victor at MJs room, at the time they thought she was a prostitute (Victor's revenge)
* He didn't want Jabot/"JACK" to get more money (Gloria's court case)
* Victor felt that Gloria broke her side of the deal
* He learned about the 3 stooges plan to go against him; seen it as a betrayal
* Victor may have gotten info about 3 stooges from Aidan the bartender (Jill's manny-cure and Colleen's date where she did the flash dance)


ADAM

* He may have taken money out or transferring funds while he was in control of NE
* He may have secretly had funds going elsewhere, after he was no longer at the helm
* After he went back to the ranch under house arrest, he had to return all the money he received for the fake diary
* All of his funds were tied up under court orders - he wasn't allowed to have access to it
* He could have been dabbling in the bank funds without the others knowing



JEFFREY BARDWELL

* Jeffrey at one time told Gloria that he wanted to take on Victor Newman, Jabot, and NE
* Jeffrey set-up Gloria to confessing about the cream while the police recorded it
* In April, he told Glo in so many words that she needed to be careful about spending money
* She may not have much in the future
* Jeff tells Jill, you never know what the future might bring and that he would never abandon his wife if she was poor, but inferring that Jill could be, too
* The police confession tape was going to be used in court, but Glo made a guilty plea
* He may have expected Glo to be in jail for sometime and/or loose her money in lawsuit, so he may have hid it from her & others
* Jeff may have already moved his money elsewhere, then make it look like he and Glo lost all theirs, so she wouldn't look for it elsewhere
(I don't remember Glo looking at the dollar amount on the check from the Cayman bank)

----------------------------

The only thing I'm certain of is that banks do not deal in stock sales and trading. Insider trading has to do with selling stocks at a time when one has insider information that stock prices will fall, so selling stocks before that happens, with information no one else has, is illegal. None of this had anything to do with the offshore account. That is what Jack was referring to when he mentioned insider trading. Don't know where he came up with that. Your theories all seem a little involved, however, I wonder if the writers would have intended to make all this that complicated - we will see. I just know the insider trading accusation Jack blathered about had nothing to do with the SEC looking into Newman and grilling Victoria. That had to do with her misleading stockholders about the state of Victor's failing health.
