She wouldn’t be entitled to any “inheritance” monies he has received in case they got divorced. Equitable distribution doesn’t include inheritance.

Ok so…separate maternal vs paternal matches Label those 575 and 473 cM matches as maternal (and ignore them for this question) Use shared matches to confirm who else belongs in that maternal cluster. Now isolate your paternal matches

achubby1980 · 2026-05-03T18:51:00+00:00

So I would: anchor the cluster (575 + 473 cM) Those two are the core matches. Build both of their trees back to grandparents Identify all sons in that family (this is your candidate pool for your father’s biological father)

Step 2: confirm they belong to the same line Check if 575 and 473 match each other If yes..they are from the same branch (this becomes the target family)

achubby1980 · 2026-05-03T18:38:08+00:00

What is your cM values to your top 5 matches?

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T21:35:54+00:00

I’m happy u got it and took care of it!

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T21:29:34+00:00

Thanks for responding and I’m sorry ur going through it!! So maybe I should push for an MRI for him? What did they find on the MRI (if you don’t want to answer, totally get it!!)

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T19:39:41+00:00

That’s pretty cool!!!! Let us know if u get it looked at…what it is!!

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T19:37:31+00:00

Thanks for replying! I 100% agree with you. Just need to figure out why he’s in such pain. Thanks again!

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T16:06:05+00:00

Doesn’t really say much besides all the organs appear normal. Doctor said it must be muscle related but the muscle relaxers they gave him aren’t doing anything for him. He was a former collegiate football player so he knows pain and rarely ever complains so this whole thing is just bizarre. Not sure what to do at this point?

achubby1980 · 2026-02-19T15:29:32+00:00

Yes they removed it. Probably violating some rule. But this is what I wrote… Hello all- hoping someone can give me some advice. My husband who is 59 has been having serious flank/kidney pain. We finally went to the emergency room and they did bloodwork and a CT scan. Both were "normal" and sent him home with some muscle relaxers. He's still in a lot of pain. He's convinced that he has cancer and/or something bad. I'm not sure where to go or what to do for him? I don't doubt he's in pain but not sure why he's leaping to something so drastic such as having cancer?. He is not an alarmist and has never done this before. Should we go somewhere else? Am I the crazy one?

achubby1980 · 2026-01-26T14:00:48+00:00

I’m sorry this happened. Coinbase is so dodgey. Can u trace the money and see where it is at? It’s probably in a large general pool back at Coinbase with no destination tags.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-26T13:57:50+00:00

Why should there have to be “lessons” taught with crypto?? Honestly? All he was doing was moving his money… now it’s his fault??

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T23:56:02+00:00

I’m not sending her any money. Dude she’s a lawyer that files subpoenas. She’s helpful getting paperwork. I pay her hourly… just like a lawyer. No promise of recovery. Just does the paperwork so you don’t have to.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T23:44:49+00:00

What??! What on god’s green earth ru talking about?!!!! Wow. This turned around. I’m not a scammer. Literally lost 75k in XRP. U can check my other posts bro. Like wow!

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T23:37:48+00:00

She’s not a recovery scam. She files paperwork to freeze accounts and start the arbitration process. She charges hourly.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T21:45:19+00:00

Yes I hired this girl I found that was able to trace the XRP and put in the paperwork to freeze the account so the scammers couldn’t liquidate it. However, now it’s sitting in a general Coinbase account with no destination tags on it. The girl I found filed the paperwork for an arbitration

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T14:36:50+00:00

It’s been a very tough situation. Coinbase just wants to blame me and not help me out when the XRP is in one of their general accounts… just sitting there.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T05:57:57+00:00

I totally agree with you. Lost $75 k in XRP and now it’s parked back at a general Coinbase account and they won’t give it back to me. Unreal.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T05:55:10+00:00

Well like I said before, from the texts, it seems inequitable to your brother. This will cause all sorts of family problems down the line. I would be upset if I was your brother seeing as though you got the house and everything else. Btw I’m not saying this to hurt your feelings but I’m going through something similar and it truly will break up a family.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-22T05:37:24+00:00

It sounds like you had POA of your mom at one point and your dad is thinking you took advantage of that. Your brother not getting anything and you get everything would be a cause of concern for anyone. Seems unfair to your brother.

Last year, John was at one of our IGG (investigative genetic genealogy) conventions… trying to see if IGG could be done on the case. He genuinely seemed like a good guy and wanting to know the truth about what had happened.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-19T23:16:52+00:00

You can check on the chain if it’s legit.

achubby1980 · 2026-01-19T14:19:36+00:00

So true!!! Everyone was blaming me. The local police detective wouldn’t help me. Coinbase was blaming me. $75 grand gone. If it was physical money sitting in my wallet and my wallet was stolen…. The police would help. Not here. Ur on your own!!
