I'm erring on the side of believing Erika. Tom isn't just a lawyer, he was co founder/partner of his own firm, they worked massive cases, his firm is the one from Erin Brockovich. I believe the amount of money a man in his position brought in could be plausible, but it sounds like he's probably been a bit on the dodgy side for a very long time.
Fairly certain he's probably legally & morally not meant to come home & discuss stuff from work with his family, tho I guess if that discussion is about scamming folk the legal & moral aspects are straight out the window

my point is I don't think it would be unusual for her to not be in the know about his work activities in much detail at all.
I think she was a trophy wife & she married for money & if you as a person/they as a couple are fine with that knowledge & what it involves (shagging an old guy to get a glam squad) then that's your choice.
She is getting an easy time of it on the show but maybe the other wives genuinely believe and love her and that's why. She'll also be limited to what she can say as it's an active ongoing thing.
I do think the timing is odd but maybe he became impossible to live with with the stress of realising it was all falling down around him, surely he'd be smart enough to hide any money in overseas bank accounts or something rather than thinking a divorce would protect assets?
