118. Drugs, Diamonds & Divorce

In this episode of The Sounds of the Baskerville, Chris Baskerville and Pierce Carstensen are back — and this time the gloves are off. Pierce delivers two jaw-dropping war stories that bring the family law and insolvency crossover to vivid life: a diamond merchant framed on death row, and a debtor who tried to hide everything behind a conveniently timed divorce.But beneath the remarkable storytelling lies a serious message for creditors, directors, and insolvency practitioners. Pierce reveals why the family court can actually be a more powerful forum to recover assets than the state courts — and why failing to intervene in family law proceedings could mean walking away empty-handed.If Episode 117 was the theory, Episode 118 is where it gets real.
