When the director questioned Betty about the whereabouts of the funds, she responded with a simple “I don’t know.” However, the filmmaker pointed out that Betty is well aware of the whereabouts of the funds.

“I need it.” But a lot of money has been taken out of the GoFundMe between her and Larry; it’s now completely depleted,” Laita revealed.
