The picture emerges of a cunning gold digging wife who knows all of the details of her husbands finances and is merely using the excuse that she caught him looking for women on
www.match.com . She is under the guidance of a probable Jewish Princess lawyer by the name of Myers.
She tried to load her husband with $2,725 per month in alimony and child support in addition to the loot described above. Steele was more of a silver bug than a gold bug. I don't remember any of his rants about buying gold. In June, 2000 silver was about $5 per ounce. The over $50,000 in gold and silver coins would mean over 10,000 troy ounces of silver.
At the time of his arrest he had about 6,000 troy and had just sold 3,000 troy about three months before he was arrested. This is essentially all that he had ten years before. In was in the form of rounds (coins). My guess is that he sold off the 3,000 troy for cash to give money to Tatyana that his wife did not know about. He could have easily laid his hands on $55,000 from his many brokerage accounts but his wife could have found out about it.
