Chapter 19 - LUCIENNE’S APPEAL
Lucienne appealed the calculation of civil clawbacks.
Not removal.
Her attorneys argued several expenses had been improperly categorized as personal hierarchy spending when they also served legitimate family events.
The appellate court agreed partly.
About $74,000 was reclassified as mixed-purpose trust spending.
Restitution reduced.

“That’s boring.”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
