Were those made in confidence? 

In confidence to me. The attorney wasn't present.  

I really don't know who to trust with complete certainty. 

Are you throwing them under the bus by passing along your sources to the prime suspect? 

Question that makes me think.  I'll have a conversation without the bookkeeper and property manager and I won't implicate them.  This should be later this week. And I will make certain that he won't let the bookkeeper or I see the bank statements, which indicates to me that he doesn't want proper accounting done and suggest he could be hiding something.

Remember that he thought his client owed $400,000 to the IRS for 2024 estate income taxes.  The estate owed 0.
