One thing doesn't make sense


Her apartment. She said she's lived there for 20 years to the board and they mention not paying rent. Sorry but an apartment like that is owned. Apartments like that aren't rented in NYC, they're property. Her father would have owned it and passed it down to her. And if she did own it, they couldn't kick her out. Her unpaid bills would have gone to collections.

Also, her money would have been insured. I get it that the point was for her to grow up, but come on.

Ing says the money wasn't insured. But I wonder why the manager "Bob" waited like 20 years to lam it with the money. Wouldn't he have done it way sooner, when there was MORE money to take? Also, Ing would know all about Molly's finances and Molly would have been to Ing's house before.

Also, her parents died when she was 8. So what was she doing living in an apartment at age 2? That can only mean they all lived there together as a family - which means it would have been incredibly depressing (if not traumatic) to have to continue living there as a young child without them after they died. And why did she freak out so much about the guitars "being her dad" (she's referring to them representing his memory and his life, but in the movie she actually says things like "this is him" in reference to the guitars) but not the apartment? Why was she upset about being kicked out simply because they were kicking her out and she wanted to stay in her massive expensive apartment in NYC, rather than because it had all the memories of her dead parents?

At first I thought it strange that her money wasn't insured as well... But then I realised that 'Bob' seemed to handle her finances completely. Why would he spend some of the money he planned to run off with on insurance?
