Heir to the Chipwich Ice Cream Fortune Pays "Investigators" $9 Million to Spy On His Estranged Wife; He Sues Them After They Sexually Assault His Wife

And the couple is now... back together?

The heir to the Chipwich ice cream fortune paid private investigators nearly $9 million to spy on his estranged wife, but now he wants his dough back -- because two of them raped her, a new lawsuit charges.

Millionaire David Smith -- who has since reunited with his spouse, Susanne Gold-Smith -- says he paid $140,000 a week for months to the International Investigative Group to trail his then-estranged wife.

...

But while the gumshoes were on Smith's payroll, two of them sexually assaulted his wife, and three more coerced her into sexual foreplay, court papers claim.

The lawsuit describes one alleged instance in which investigator Richard Custodio entered Gold-Smith's Plainview, LI, home in January 2018 at 12:30 a.m., went straight to her bedroom, "climbed on top of her and initiated unwanted, invasive sexual relations.

"Gold-Smith ultimately surrendered to Custodio's sexual demands, as she was afraid to resist out of fear of retribution," the court documents charge.

...

Smith's suit also alleges a similar scenario involving former NYPD cop-turned-PI Yanti Greene.

The suit claims Greene lured Gold-Smith into his car on April 24, 2018, behind a Fairway in Plainview, "removed Gold-Smith’s pants, climbed on top of her and initiated invasive sexual relations."

The suit says that a month later, Greene drugged Gold-Smith and raped her in his car while recording the attack on his smartphone in the same supermarket parking lot.

In court papers responding to Gold-Smith, Greene, who is acting as his own lawyer, claims she is the one who raped him.

The accused parties all deny the charges.

Also:

Gold-Smith and her husband initially split in 2016. Last year, before the couple got back together, Gold-Smith sued her husband for $25 million, claiming he demanded sex in exchange for visits with their son.

Um... I don't know what to make of this. None of this makes any sense.
