April 2025 Daily Mail piece about the use of the GoFundMeHad info I had been wondering, and that people had asked but nobody was sure (same when I was listening to Fox News several days ago). Here is news to me:
-I have wondered what the dad did, and saw a LinkedIn referencing a Frisco car dealership, but I don't have linkedin so I couldn't find it. Looks like he was a finance guy at dealership and took a leave of absence (there's where some of the money went).
-Likely only payed 10% of the bail that was reduced to 250,000 (so 25K)
-Dad admits it was for legal representation, but also "family security" and relocation expenses (aka 900K house rent) due to threats.
Quote:
- Anthony's attorney Michael Howard said, regarding the money: 'It would be disingenuous to say there isn't money... But it is not a bond fund. This family needs to be able to survive.'
Quote:
- Anthony's father was also questioned in court over an incident in the teen's high school back in February that involved an altercation 'assault.'
