Forensic Expert Probes Tony Hsieh's 7-Page Will, With Report Due by July 24
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 4
Summary
Gerry LaPorte’s team began testing the purported seven-page Tony Hsieh will in early June at a Las Vegas courthouse, after a judge appointed him special master in May.
Ink analysis is the main focus, especially on the signatures, to determine whether the document matches its March 2015 date or was altered later.
The will surfaced by mail last year after Hsieh was long believed to have died intestate following the 2020 Connecticut house fire that killed him at 46.
Hsieh’s family calls the document a scam, noting the alleged sender has not appeared in court, listed witnesses have not come forward, and named co-executor Robert Armstrong said he never met Hsieh.
LaPorte is due to file a written report by July 24, after which the family’s own expert, former Secret Service lab director Larry Stewart, can respond.
