I don’t live too far from them and tbh there’s not many gated community locations in this area and the ones that are here are luxury, no doubt they will come back to film a house tour of wherever they’re staying as it will be a massive step up from what they was living in.
I never followed the smithys, I don’t tend to follow families like theirs who do the utmost to prank each other or be funny, however I followed them once the fire occurred, especially as they live in the same borough as me, I’m not too sure this was an insurance scam, however the fact they initially said they WOULDNT take the go fund me money and now have said they are taking it seemed a bit suspect to me but nothing too serious, what does make me substantially suspect is the fact they’re deciding to leave social media because in my mind you don’t post untold amounts of videos about the fire etc then decide to go cold turkey, it makes me wonder if they have come to the realisation that IF (and big if because it’s not something I want to accuse them of) they stay off social media no one will be aware it was an insurance scam, especially as they’ve decided to take the go fund me money now, when insurance should pay them out, so in hind sight I don’t think taking the go fund me money is suspect, and I don’t think leaving social media is suspect, but doing both those things together is VERY suspect. They could have left social media and used the insurance payout, they could have stayed on socials and shown people how they’re spending their donation, but to take all that money and then decide to exit social media, that just doesn’t sit right with me, seems very suspect, almost like they do have something to hide.

Could have done, but I doubt it. They probably came off as they are guilty as sin
