Courtney Love

Courtney Love claims to be the victim of some identity thieves who used the identity of her former husband, Kurt Cobain, to buy a $3 million New Jersey mansion. She also estimates that the thieves may have stolen around $72 million, the Sun of London reported Saturday.

Speaking to the Sun, Love, who thinks the thieves also opened 188 credit cards under her name, said: “It was fraud after fraud. But nobody believed me until now. I did a check on my deceased husband’s social security number and he has a house in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He bought it last year. I would like to know how. He should probably get his ass back home if that is the case.”

Cobain’s widow declared that she might know who the con men were.

“I know who they are,” she declared. “It had been going on since when I went cuckoo, bananas, in 2003.”

Kurt Cobain, Nirvana’s lead singer, committed suicide in 1994, at the age of 27, when his Seattle band was in top in the music industry. His lucrative estate was left for Courtney Love to control.

Nirvana sold 62 million albums worldwide, and even 14 years after Cobain’s death, the estate gains $40 million every year, with most money going into a trust fund destined for Cobain’s and Love’s daughter, Frances Bean, who is 15-year-old.

Love’s finances lowered greatly in the times when she was a drug addict, so she had to sell 25% of the Nirvana catalog two years ago.

Recovering from her addiction period, she realized large sums of money were missing and that is when she asked investigators to detect the causes of the waste.

“Taking a child's money and future is a really horrible thing," Love said, referring to her daughter Frances, whose fund the thieves have apparently robbed.
