Courtney Love Too Strung Out To Stop $3 Million Theft

Posted about 1 year ago
Courtney Love has filed a identity theft complaint with the authorities accusing someone of using her former husband Kurt Cobain's social security number to buy a $3.2 million New Jersey home. Love claims to have known about the fraud — and who the scam artists are — for five years, but was too strung out on drugs to do anything about it she told "The Sun":SU.Last week while visiting with the LAPD Love said by then the thieves were able to get as many as 188 credit cards in Cobain's name, and also bought cars and cashed checks written against Cobain's estate. The 43-year-old singer said, "It was fraud after fraud. But nobody believed me until now." She added, "I know who they are. Taking a child's money and future is a really horrible thing." Love said she realized something had to be done because of the potential effect it could have on the trust fund for her daughter, 15-year-old Frances Bean."MORE HERE":CH[CH]http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/03/09/2008-03-09_courtney_love_claims_id_thieves_posed_as.html[SU]http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article891144.ece

  2. TylerDurden says NELLA MIA --> I second that notion, that picture should be banned from anything non-horror-movie. Adam--> that's quite a story, sounds like she was real worried for the past few years huh? I mean I've been strung out on some rough stuff before, but c'mon! GOD that picture was scary

  4. Augusts1 says Wow, that article you linked to says Cobain's estate rakes in $40 million a year. No wonder Courtney couldn't be bothered until now w/the thieves, she has plenty to live on. Surprised she didn't turn it over to her lawyer to parse out though. I love me some Courtney but admittedly she's pretty damn strange!

  5. funoka says Somebody's got to have some real cajones to use Cobain's SS#. This was in the Sun? While we are chatting about my girlfriend, where's Courntey's new reocrd -- Nobody's Daughter, anyway? I thought it was supposed to come out in Feb. With $40M, she doesn't need to worry about new records or scumbag ID theives, I guess.

  7. funoka says Augusts1 -- I am in the minority, but I dig "Celebrity Skin" AND "America's Sweetheart" When I get home I am going to crank up some HOLE.

  8. starspring says yeah, she sounds really broken up about it-I guess she'll have to buy a cheaper rake to use on the other 37 million. Poor girl!!

  9. Augusts1 says I'm right there with you Funoka. "America's Sweetheart" rocks amazingly hard. I just posted it on another site of mine last week to get people to listen to it who'd written the album off due to the general consensus that it sucked. So not true!
