Kouri Richins: The Fatal Debt That Ended a Marriage | Marriage, Murder & Money

Marriage is often called a “blind spot” for fraud. In the first part of our Kouri Richins deep dive, we explore how a $2 million secret debt, forged signatures, and a “Deal-Killer” known as financial infidelity created a motive for one of the most high-profile cases in recent Utah history. Joe Cordell, attorney and CPA, breaks down the “Marital Unity Paradox”—the unique legal and emotional vulnerability that allows a dishonest spouse to exploit the person closest to them. How did Eric Richins end up with a secret $250,000 home equity line of credit in his name? Why did the legal system fail to flag the forgery before it was too late?
