Bahamas Probing Check Forgery in Anna Nicole Case

Officials in the Bahamas are investigating an allegation that a company called ANS Interactive forged signatures on checks written in the Bahamas and with cash winding up in Santa Monica, Calif., Debra Opri, the attorney for Larry Birkhead, revealed in court just moments ago.

Howard K. Stern, the subject of the questioning, said he wasn't aware of the investigation. He says he "didn't know" if he was an officer of the company. He did admit that ANS Interactive ran Anna Nicole's official website.

62. This howard K (as in Kut-throat) stern is a piece of work. He lives off a drug addicted woman for years, now wants her, in death, to continue to support his worthless life. Pathetic with a capitol "P." Exile this loser to the bahamas.

63. tell me WHY would it seem odd when a person HAS had this man WORKING fior her (remeber HE DID NOT ":GRUB " MONEY FROM ANNA) she OWED HIM he was her trialk lawyer and still to this day is working on this enormous amunt of $$ (which only fool like the imbiciles who keep picking on him neglect or LACK the mental capacity to understand that THIS and ONLY this MONEY (annas namesake/image and baby) will carry withit-in the form of 1) who posses her BODY, and 2 who posseses her baby. - HOWARD was aDAMNED ecellent high profile lawyer capable of leaving anna the second he WON thisa first $444,000,000.00-in her case (prior to the 3 re-trial.whatever- AT THIS POINT HOWARD could have left with that simple winning under his coat and have EASILY BECOME a VERY successful lawyer high profile lawyer and make more money that the stinking $ 12,500,00 per year he made being a dependant of anna (below POVERTY LE|VEL MIND YOU) -OF COURSE the man had an interest in that case. He worked on it for 10 years FOR FREE - WHO do you think in that court room ,now cares enough for annas body to work FREE as a LAWYER to OBTAIN IT for ANY OF THE SAID "CLIENTS" including that FAT MONSTROSITY of a "MOTHER" who was blatantly protected and led by the judge himself- who LIED all morning with a smile and gigggles , as he rdughter body rotted in its own juices because of her seffiness. ( all the people in the media except the very few with brains still functioing , said "the courtroom was lite in the am - until "poor fat assed VERGIE got on the stand and "GRUED over the coals- (talk about crodidile tears and acting _one thing anna may have inherited from that abominatuion of a human being called "vergie" -(I mean the extrvertion anna sometimes showed and the abilitry to cry at the drop of a hat -or pill hahaha-) IF anna was on drugs how dare anyone blame howard the mother simply washed her hand of it years ago after allowing/sacraficing her 12 yearold or younger daughter to be continally RAPED by her husband what a PIIIG. no wonder anna loatheed her. IF anyone wants to be edjucated on the things I say buy the dvds of the anna nicole show she explains explicitly why whe cut off ties whith her trailer trash typical taxas family everytime she called or they did it was for ONE thing ONLY MONEY. that is what this is about now, the judge is a biased asswipe and should be put on a poll and for everyone tio throw trotten cantaloupes at for a week in floridas hot stupid sun that probaly lowered his IQ from playing golf with his bald head and no hat on -thus reducing his brain to barely functioning SOUP. he should be shot . they all except howard should be shot. This court gives any other county that watches it a reason, yet another reason to identify all AMERCANS and their "justice system" idiotic , unfair , unjust, and run franky by those with the loadest mouths most money and the MEDIA(all in choots Howard simply cannot be a leach because he is owed tons of money by anna (for the court case)and liked her enough to work for less than the poverty level (free) I ve no doubt he loved her - maybe she was concerned SHED BE BLAMED FOR HE SONS DEATH - as her fat assed mother DID on nationl tv many times (days after annas horrific loss) shows how much of a caring and loving "Texas MOMA " she really is- -the to top matter off (when at this point I I no choice but to resort to taking a RX pill myself) ) when that big fat washingmachine bodied mother said she sat in the car on the road to veiw the dead body of her decomposing daughter, the only thing on her texas chli bean sized brain was in her own tesitmoney was "FOOD." AS far as the "soloman stant" oI have the PERFECT "vergie"
solution-since this court proceeding is already deemed a "cicus" why not offer 1/2 of anna body to vergies and dig up ddaniel aand the fat money grubbing trailer trash low class lier can make her money that she so badly cares for by having her grandson and her daughter sewn together, waxed and made into a traveling sideshow. I believe VERGIE WOULD secretly covet that idea and would lt would light up her SOULESS eyes with dollar signs . Disgusting but in my humble opinion TRUTH, LOOK next time at each person in that room (court) who SEEMS the most distraught? (HOWARD) he isnt laughing - he should not be , HE KNEW ANNA HER WISH WOULD BE OBViOUS TO ANYONE SENSITIVE THAT even watched her show- she was fat , everyone made fun of her- would that photogrher who everyone"LOVES" have given her a SECOND GLANCE at 230lbs??? NOT! Howard was there- plus Howard knows her body is rotting, and anna worked very VERY HARD TO GET HER LOOKS BACK tyhat last PICTURE OF HER IN HER COFFIN WOULD MATTER TO ANNA as I an overweight anna lookalike would rather l;ive 2 years thin and have a this body remebered in my casket than live 50 yrs at 230lb- for her this wopuld be ca crucial want- (she was taken w/ynnmonroe- thus would want to look amazing in death as she killed herself practically to do- as for those checks -againb HOWARD was w/ her 10 yrs, he worked as her gofer/attorney and assitant why wouldnt he sighn a ditraught womans checks while she was unable to- I am sure she was well aware and permtted him to do do. maybe daniel is a product of the RAPE of anna from her step father- I think anna wasnt simpoly given back her boty -she only got jhim once she had MARSHALL (richest man inTEXAS ) w/ her- think about it- mom was cop she denied anna her baby and probably has threatend her(why anna couldnt get baby til she got MONEY and POWER behiuned her that was above houston law) also I believe mom illegaglly stole daniel. (forced to return him under marshalls request) -she probably has poput a threat out in houston for any other famoily mamber to "talk" (love to hear from anna's"disabled" brother(drugs i BET) bet hes on probation or the like and MOM has connections w/ cops (probably sexed everyone that could put a bagh over her fat ugly head)JUst like how she got her job (which really is "serving papers" where I come from -that is what a deputy does.
I am sooo sick of the judge prendting thids woman is some fragile mourning mother-she is a MONSTER in cahoot w/ the birkhard (whatever his dumb irrelavent name is and his imasculating lawyer(who probably has to stand up to pee.) IT sooooo ovious they are lying and in oniit- vergie ran to bathroom when she did not know which lie it was time to tell and brirkhard tried to run out to rem,ind her!!!! NPO ONE OF YOU FOOL S CAUGHTIT? half of you dumpsters have been working all day thus missing the real truth (what happened live in court) and simply listen to the play backs carefully chosen bay the meadia to make howard look bad- I heard him called a "thug" -so much slander- anna was the brunt of it all before she died fisrt-ala he TEXAS MAMA"and she never gave the truth she did npot blame HOWARD it WASi indded anna -what the hell do you think anna's VERY clear rebuttle about he mother came from. Ill tell you this if anna was on drugs-he rage blew through her /any high she may have had-she got no pinned eyes (teel tale of opiate use (ie nacotics)alsothe methadone would definatly been ordered for a "detos " from pain killers-very common thing to do, whena woman on pain killer becomes pregnant dr,s orders usaully are "DO NOT STOP ABRUPTY IT CAN AND WILL KILL THE BABY_(remeber the baby is addicted too) what is done is a switch is made to a less easier to abuse drug called METHADONE look it up befor you dummis rattle on about things you are ignorant about (inc media/court tv)
stupid people with NO BRAINS-chance

64. i think hks is just trying to get whatever he can out of anna nicole smith.in life and eath.once he realizes hes gotten all he can,hell go looking for a new celebrity to leach off of.

65. I like HOWARD,, and the reason I like him, is because he has put a lot of hours into working on a very big case for her for years, with little or no money. He told the judge this week he isn't incompetant and I believe that. I feel you would have to have a back bone to work with someone like ANS. And it seemed like Howard was always around, because it does not seem like she had sense or didn't care about taking care of her financial affairs. I almost feel sorry for Howard, because he has endured a lot, and has received nothing in the long run. So Go Howard, I hope one day all of your hard work will pay off for you. Maybe DannieLynn will be safe, and ANS RIP.

66. I read 63 and Leah but not all the way through, too long, too boring and redundant .. but the bottom line is .. HOWARD K STERN IS A CRIMINAL, A DRUG DEALER, FORGER, PIMP AND MAYBE A KILLER .. whether directlty or indirectly .. and those are just part of his aggressions. The attorneys and those people who are sucking up to him are doing so for dollars they'll expect and favors from his giant cash flow with Anna's big win. Face it .. he is a felon in disguise. Anna owed him no money, she paid his way and he stole what he wanted. HOWARD STERN FANS MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR THE REASON HE WON'T TAKE A DNA AND INCLUDE WHY THE VIDEO EXISTED WHERE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MAKING MONEY ON IT WHEN ANS DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT DOLLARS, SCARED A 10 YR OLD KID WHO BEGGED HIM TO CALL FOR HELP. Stern is going down, if not for one thing, for another. He is going to prison ultimately .. wait and see. TMZ is ethical and on the story and so are many of us who care for the baby.and want her to be with her real dad will not let it go. Likewise, Stern is going down for one thinf or another... he won't be free. Anna Nicole chose her fate and she was a drug addict who turned her back on reallity and didn't show her own son a good example and he was a good boy. Try hauling your kids around stoned and hang your boobs all over them and kiss them in public and see how they like it. humiliting .. and dead she gains class when she had none. She was a nice friendly tramp who did nothing for her family and her mom who raised her son his first 7 years until she married a 90 yr old man. Get a grip on reality... dead no one should be admired for bad parenting ..she was rotten as a mom, and daughter as a druggie and hurt many people but slept with all who could do her good Howard was her pimp and drug connection and mentor when he made sure to keep her stoned to keep her money and control. Watch and wait.

67. Anna Nicole was pretty rotten to LB. SHe really tried to screw him about his own kid. I used to feel sorry for her, but the more I learn about her life and what she did to people, I've lost all respect for her.

As for HKS, I hope he's disbarred and I can't wait to see him evicted from that house. He a crook.

68. Opri is brilliant, she is covering all bases within the law to defend her client Larry
and to ensure that minor child is in the hands of the rightful father.
Not doing so would be malpractice.
Howard and ANS were in flight to the Bahamas to avoid the custody legal issues. The baby is American! Howard went along with the game because of $$$$$$$$$$$ and it is backfiring in his face. Wait and see.
He is subject to multi-criminal charges and investigations. Tell me he wasn't high on that plane back to the Bahamas when he sold his phoney grief to the media.
he is lowere than low. And now he will drain his retired senior parents to the bone. And that sister of his needs to get a life and quit making $$$$$$ off her loser brother.

69. Duh, Leah...............
You don't get. You are so twisted and misinformed. He made 12K
a year. Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he had no voice in the Supreme Court case. Other lawyers handled it. He was the a retained lawyer, nothing more, nothing less. He will be in criminal court soon.

70. what happens if the paternity doesn't prove larry to be the father? what then?

Posted at 7:19PM on Feb 25th 2007 by BABS

71. Everyone wants to blame Howard for Anna actions......but the truth of the matter is Anna had a drug problem long before she met him.
I have a family member on drugs and no one can stop him from using no matter what. Becuase he does what ever he wants to do and thats what he is doing.
Stop making Howard the scape-goat for Anna actions. She made her own choices.
Her mother needs to allow her to be buried next to her son. She is nothing but a money hurgry...b!#&% and white trash. Obviously a liar and very controlling. If I was Anna I would have moved out a 15 also.

72. What i truly do not understand is how anyone from the outside looking at this mess can't tell what this so called "companion" was up to . He possessed her in that he discouraged any outside relationships, he was involved in her everyday drudgery ,he involved himself in all of her financial transactions ,he spoon fed her drugs to keep her sedated so that she would'nt find out what he was really up to he was in charge of every aspect of her life. my god he not this baby's father howard do what is right put aside all the wrong that you have done and finally do somthing right give this child to whom she belongs........ larry ......you know this child does not belong to you. give her to him she will grow up to hate you when she grows up and finds the truth on her own!!!!!!!!!!!!!
