Sure, Monica Conyers needed a stand in for Clyde back in Detroit, what with hubby off on his own spree in DC. But is it really possible for a man's wife to be a major shake down artist without him knowing anything about what was going down? I'm guessing, no.
The money had to have been spent and/or invested somehow.
[T]he name of Monica Conyers surfaces everywhere in the 27-page [indictment of her shakedown partner Samuel Riddle], which contends that the former city councilwoman played Bonnie to Riddle’s Clyde as they prowled Detroit, boldly shaking down businesspeople and stuffing their pockets and bank accounts with cash.
“You’d better get my loot, that’s all I know,” Conyers is quoted as telling Riddle regarding a payment from a restaurant owner.
Riddle passed her $10,000 in that caper, the indictment says.
"But is it really possible for a man's wife to be a major shake down artist without him knowing anything about what was going down?"
Ask Barney Frank. His boyfriend was running a prostitution ring out of his townhouse and Barney even fixed the clients parking tickets without knowing about any of it.
