Ted Ammon

Ted Ammon was an American financier and Investment Banker. He was murdered by Daniel Pelosi, the boyfriend of Ammon's wife. JPMorgan Chase & Co. took the unusual step of challenging her as co-executor of the estate, as she and Pelosi were considered persons of interest in Ted's murder. However, the firm eventually compromised with Generosa, enabling her to inherit the money.

Ammon graduated from Bucknell University, then followed his first wife to London, where he worked as a Solicitor. His second wife, Generosa Rand, was a realtor he met during an apartment search; they married in 1986. The couple adopted twins from the Ukraine, Gregory and Alexa. Their five homes included two townhouses in Manhattan and an estate in Surrey, England.

His marriage turned hostile after Generosa found a receipt for a divorce lawyer in Ted's desk. They were days from finalizing their divorce when he was found beaten to death in the East Hamptons vacation home. Because their divorce was not finalized and Ted's will had not been updated, Generosa inherited his estate in its entirety. On 15 January 2002, Generosa married Pelosi, then sold the properties she had owned with Ammon.
