I
want to add in response to Tracy Ryan Terhune's latest “bash Ullman
for the bowtie” post...that Alberto had no legal authority at all
to remove anything from the auction of Rudolph Valentino's
belongings. Everything was the property of the estate which belonged
rightfully to Jean Valentino. As executor Ullman was charged with the
task of liquidating the estate and paying Valentino's huge debt.
Which he did.
Alberto
was ordered by the probate court on several occasions to return some
things he “removed” (Kabar and a car)... he had no right to the
jewelry or the clothing either. Ullman should have been more
aggressive in demanding all of that be returned. I think the fact
that he was not more aggressive about this demonstrates his
generosity towards the Valentino siblings then. These items were
assets of the estate and Alberto was not a rightful heir. And
sadly... the cash value of everything Alberto “removed” was added
by Alberto to the sum Ullman owed the estate.
So
think about that.. Ullman as executor allows Alberto and Maria to
take a fortune in expensive things which once belonged to their
brother. When the second page of the will was found, and it is
revealed they are not heirs... they sue Ullman for the money and the
cash value of those items he allowed them to “remove”.
In
Tracy Ryan Terhune's post today he carries on this bizarre legacy of
denial of the facts. In saying Alberto “removed” these things
from the sale also contradicts what Lou Mahoney claimed. Lou claimed
Ullman removed the jewelry and sold it all for a huge profit. In
Terhune's post he disputes Mahoney 100% and admits Alberto had
illegal possession of the clothing and jewelry which he had zero
right to have at all.
And
to Tracy Terhune I will say to please stop bashing innocent people.
