[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been said earlier but Michael Lewis is a serious journalist (Moneyball, the Big Short). Has anyone actually read the book that the movie was based on? How could Lewis have missed these details (unless he was blinded by his friendship?)[/quote]

The book and the movie are very different. John Lee Hancock wrote the script and directed the movie. He was the one that took extreme liberties with the story and the Tuohys had final approval on Michael’s behalf as his conservators. [/quote]

The Tuohys become Oher’s legal guardian (ie conservator) in the movie. We don’t know if they ever approved any financial decisions on his behalf. It could be that the conservatorship was established to satisfy the NCAA but never had enforced by the Tuohys. [/quote]

The Tuohys have already admitted that they weren’t keeping with filing annual financial documents with the court as mandated as conservators. They’re in trouble and should settle. [/quote]

If all they did was not file then no they are not really in trouble.  They should have or should have terminated it but it is really no harm no foul in a case like this. It would surprise me if there were any transaction or money since the movie.  His nfl money did not go there.  Most likely this was just dormant.

Now if there were transactions and they did not file then yes there would be issues.

But what this sounds like is that this was set up at the time he went to ole miss to get around some ncaa rules on financial support.  It was then never used.  It would surprise me a bit if there even was a bank account over the last 15 years.   [/quote]
