The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice must be shaking in her stilettos as she inches toward her Oct. 2 sentencing date. Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe Giudice, pleaded guilty to several counts of financial fraud this past March, and they have pushed back their sentencing date on three occasions.
Now time seems to be running out, and the couple conveniently waited for filming to end before listing their properties. They first listed their $3.9 million mansion, and then last week the Giudices put their Jersey beach house on the market. Now another, hidden property has been listed.
Apparently, Teresa Giudice bought the 1920s-era house back in 2005 in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. In the years that followed, the home was used to drum up extra cash through refinancing and additional loans. Teresa Giudice bought the house herself, leading some fans to question the status of her marriage to Joe Giudice at that time and whether or not they decided to stick together for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Granted, the couple has never needed to divulge to the public everything they bought or have owned, but having property that was only used as collateral or a way to boost borrowing certainly does not look good given the crimes they have been charged with.
Do you think this third house was intentionally kept for deceptive purposes and that they are ditching it now in a final attempt to look, at least on paper, like they are selling off things in order to pay back their debt?
How about the sentencing phase? Will a judge make an example out of Teresa Giudice and send her to prison alongside her husband? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
