The Barbara Anderson case seems to have the best legal footing. She's claiming that she was "hacked" by a guy who had been taunting her and who stole her solve. So if true, there are some crimes going on there. But she's kind of a wacko bird, too. She's an attorney who spent tens of thousands of dollars and put her life on hold to search for the treasure. She even had judges change her caseload around so she could take extended breaks to look for the treasure. To me that doesn't sound like representing the best interests of your clients. She also alienated her children. It really sounds like she made the notorious mistake of becoming far too emotionally involved in this, and all this legal stuff is just her venting and refusing to let it go. But she does seem to have a chance of drawing out some information about the location, and maybe even the finder. I think her strategy in attaching Fenn to the lawsuit is to force the location of the treasure to be given to her. If it matches her solve, she can pull the thread a bit further to get the name of the finder. But she still has to prove that he hacked her and stole her solve. That would be a big deal because it would be the first time in history that someone had a treasure stolen out from under them by a devious person...
Yeah, her case is intriguing. We'll have to see if her case remains viable and we actually get some discovery. I agree, she does seem a bit wacko...
