    That's good stuff, especially the photos! :) I guess that part of the case is a little too spicy for the Signal. I like how the Daily Mail conflates the total sales of the business ($48 million) to make it seem like that was the profit, which probably after tax was closer to $1.5 million to $2 million per year. While great, that amount of money could quickly be sucked up by someone with Super Model tastes. I also imagine that life in Sand Canyon and Santa Clarita was not as "fancy" as the husband represented to his model bride, which was also probably a great stress on the marriage.
