Fact: The Rebbe honored this agreement to an extreme by keeping the Frierdike Rebbe's room as it had been on the day of his passing, and not merging the library of the Frierdike Rebbe with any other, or allowing the same employees who worked one library to work the other.
Fact: As long as the Frierdike Rebbe's wife was alive, there was no talk of changing this status quo in any way.
Fact: Barry had a friendly relationship with the Rebbe, even though his father had been promoted by his grandmother as the next Rebbe.
Fact: Barry drifted away from his mainstream Lubavitch connections, and only maintained contact with the personal friends of his mother.
Fact: The books were only removed from the Frierdike Rebbe's library, and only at times when no one could possibly be around. Barry was told by his mother that he could take whatever he wants. No one else knew anything about this.
Fact: Barry sold as many of the books as he could in the time given. The rest were stored in a warehouse, not at his home.
Fact: When the theft was first discovered, he was given opportunity to make amends, either personally or through a Bais Din. Only when he failed to acknowledge this effort was this spoken of publicly and brought to court.
Fact: Barry and his mother had asked various helpers around 770 to help him carry the suitcases out to his car from her room. One of these helpers on hearing what he had aided in attacked her. She sued the Rebbe, and it was settled out of court.
Fact: The Rashag had plenty of money saved up. He willed it to the Rebbe, and it was used for the out of court settlement.
My only contribution of opinion: It is nonsense to say that this was done because his yerusha was so precious to him, or because he needed money. His father had millions put away. The Rebbe in my opinion would have helped him if he had asked, or even if he had had his mother ask on his behalf. He didn't need to sell them, and obviously didn't care enough about them to keep them.
There is only one conclusion: The facts confuse the elements out there.

If you have a point to make, prove your point. I will delete any comment that that doesn't try to do that.
lol
you have to work on your yeshus to accapt or to listen an opinion that contardicts your created reality
it is more non sense your opinion than to think that as a the unique grandson ,he thougt that he had a right in the Yerusha
Would you think that someone else strange has more rights tahn you in the yerusha of your father ?
I am not saying that he was right selling the seforim or that the seforim should be in the yerusha of his family or not
I didn't say anything about yerusha in my post either. I only voiced one opinion, nothing to do with yerusha. Everything else is fact.
Fact is not fact because you preface it with 'Fact'.
Then tell me what is not fact, and prove it.
As for yerushah: daughters inherit wen there are no sons (as opposed to widow who is merely supported). Yerushah of daughter is halachically in domain of her husband. Grandchildren are not part of yerushah (in absence of will) until death of their parent. Thus neither daughter had any rights to dispose of yerushah in lifetime of their husbands. Then there is the sugya of nichsei tzon barsel and nichsei melug, which allow husband to deal with yerushah - except that in some cases he is liable and in others he is not.
thanks for this post
