The judge is going to have another go at this on Thursday--there's no real "facts" that I know about that have come out on this score. The docs are still under seal. Speculation is rampant, but there's no "there" there yet. The local news in Beantown has been covering this; the latest report at the noon hour was what I said in this paragraph.
The stock theory is not "in the bag" I do not think. Why? Because if the guy wanted to fuck his wife over, he'd say the stock was worth MORE than it was worth, so he'd be able to give her less of it. Unless, of course, he gave it to her with the understanding that she would liquidate it at once, or sell it back, or something on those lines.
Also, she liquidated her stock to go after the guy again in court. It was a case that went through court for nearly a decade, from what I understand. There was also a kid who alleged abuse by the father, resulting in repeated return visits to court, so the father wrote him a really shitty letter saying he was, in effect, disowned. The suggestion put forth is that the kid was lying at the behest of the mother.
You'd think that a guy who worked at--oops, OWNED-- Staples could get a camera recording system and wire up the house so that child visits could be documented--that would have nipped that abuse shit in the bud quick.
I just don't know if that "stock" track is the correct one. If it is, unless there's some really "juicy" (and that is what is alleged) damaging testimony by Mitt, it's not going to take hold.
I have a few wild ass and totally unsubstantiated theories that, if true, would take hold, plucked from thin air....
Do we know the religious affiliation of these people? If they are Mormon, remember that Mittsy was a "bishop," and in that role he did counseling, to include the marital kind. Perhaps he told this woman to put up with her husband's perverse habits, anything from beating on her to enjoyment of scatalogical pursuits for carnal enjoyment??? I'm just speculating, here. Feel free to make up your own!
Or perhaps he told her to put up with a mistress--one of those "off the books" 2nd wives? Maybe he's one of those fundamental types...and she knows Mittsy's other wives and has them on her Xmas card list!!! 
Now I'm really speculating--but hey, no one knows anything yet, so might as well have some fun.
Or maybe she and Mittsy had a wild night of passion when Annie wasn't feeling well?
I think we need to wait-n-see on this one. I hope Thursday brings a report of TABLOID proportions!
