Senior scams: Financial elder abuse rampant and grossly underreported, prosecutors say

With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day in the United States, Baker says the problem is only going to get worse.

"We have what can really only be described as a 'silver tsunami' coming in this state with so many people retiring," Baker said. "They're vibrant and wonderful contributing members of our community, but they're also the No. 1 target for predators in fraud and financial crimes."

Among those were Jean Phyllis Jones, of Pleasanton, who was suffering from dementia when former Pinole police commander Matthew Messier walked into her life. Within weeks of befriending Jones, Messier, according to authorities, tricked her into signing over her $1.5 million, century-old Victorian estate.

"To be cheated was devastating, and it made her decline even more," said Heidi Bailey, one of two neighbors who reported the case to authorities.

Messier eventually pleaded no contest to one felony count of lying on his bankruptcy filings and received five years probation. He served about two months in County Jail and was required to reimburse Jones for the legal fees but never admitted to defrauding her. Jones died in January at 84.

Former Alameda County Superior Court judge Paul Seeman was charged in 2013 in connection with stealing more than $200,000 from his elderly neighbor Anne Nutting, who died in 2010. Seeman, prosecutors said, befriended Nutting, obtained power of attorney and pilfered from her accounts. Seeman pleaded no contest to felony counts of financial elder abuse and perjury, but as part of a deal with prosecutors, he was given time served. He was disbarred and removed from the bench, forced to pay restitution to Nutting's estate and received five years probation.

Last year, Alameda County prosecuted about 415 cases of elder abuse, most of them embezzlement, fraud and identity theft, according to District Attorney Nancy O'Malley. In many cases, O'Malley said, a younger stranger will befriend the elderly person, gain their trust, and then steal behind their backs.

Financial elder abuse rampant 

As an aside prosecution is a joke.

Estate of Edwina Fuller; Where are the Bank Statements, Supplement to Accounting

[Department    LA    5     Court Convened at:    1:30 PM    8/12/2015]

Dear PA Matthew Osborne,

This email is to notify you as the Probate Attorney that I have not received copies of the Supplement to Accounting filed with the Court on 06/09/2015 nor the bank statements in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller which were requested of Atty. Randall and Steven Fuller almost a year ago.

Please see attached.

The lack of transparency by Atty. Randall and Mr. Fuller in regards to this estate is very unsettling, very disturbing, criminal. 

Warmest regards,

-------

(Teddie J. Randall & Steven Fuller)

Know that I will seek further action against both of you with the proper authorities for your failure to provide the information requested in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller.

-------

I have explained this to you before and the court has informed you.  You are not an attorney,  nor do you represent any one in this action.  I will not be providing you with any documents.  You have a right to request any documentation from the administrator,  Mr. Steven Fuller.

Attorney T. Randall

-------

You are correct - I am not a shyster, a liar, and or a thief.

I can't say the same about you counselor.

I would not have needed to attempt to look out for my mother's best interest via a limited power of attorney [find attached] if you were above board, open, and honest.

My mother wants a copy, I'm sure she's entitled to it.

She has alleged that you will not respond to her, don't answer her calls nor return them. 

That is your pattern as far as she is concerned.

I already know that you took advantage of her and my Aunt Carol.

So, what are you hiding?

That said, mail her a copy....

Objr is Sandra Arnold through her agent Michael L. Long (self represented)

SUMMARY:
Objr is atty in fact for decd's daughter Sandra Arnold
Objs served

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr alleges he was granted a limited pwr of atty in 11/13 by Sandra Arnold, a beneficiary of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and this estate.

Objr alleges the accounting is fatally flawed in that the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, [BP 122665], via atty Tala R. Davis as succr tee of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, paid $107,692.30 to the this estate with a certified cashier's check from Comerica Bank dated 09/29/2014 to Steven Fuller as conservator of the estate and person of Edwina Fuller and said monies have not been accounted for.

Objr alleges that those funds were misappropriated and converted by petnr Steven Fuller with the help of atty Teddie J. Randall and that by failing to properly give an accurate and honest accounting to the court constitutes fraud, theft, conversion and financial elder abuse against the beneficiaries of this estate.

SUMMARY:
Objr is former atty for Steven Fuller as consr of the pers & est in BP099211

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr, as the former atty for consr Steven Fuller, filed a petn for fees after becoming aware that her former client Steven Fuller had, without notice, consulted another attorney to prepare and file the Second Account and Final Account and Report of the cshp. Said 2nd & Final Acct for the cshp omitted any reference to objr's srvcs or to the costs advanced by the objr on behalf of the cshp estate. The acct did indicate that the cshp had an ending balance of $192,837.50 of which $145.29 was cash, $85,000 in real property and $107,692.30 in a judgment in favor of the cshp.

Per 11/18/14 order approving Steven Fuller's final acct as consr, Fuller was authorized and directed to pay objr the sum of $14,951 for atty fees and $161 for costs advanced. Despite this order, objr has not been paid.

Objr has confirmed that Steven Fuller as consr of th eestate received payment of the judgment in the amt of $107,692.30 on or about 9/30/14.

Order to be Prepared By     Clerk:     Attorney: 

Misappropriation [Embezzlement] of Estate Assets - $107,692.30

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

In Re the Estate of EDWINA FULLER CASE NO. BP 135381


It is alleged that $107,692.30 was misappropriated from the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller by Steven A. Fuller with the assistance of Atty. Teddie J. Randall.

Edwina J. Fuller passed away on 02 June 2012, her conservatorship ended upon her death and thus became "the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller" and subject to California Probate Code.

$107,692.30 was paid to the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller on 29 September 2014 by Atty. Tala R. Davis in her capacity as Successor Trustee of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and from the Estate of Thelsey L. Fuller [LASC Case# BP 122 665] by Comerica Bank check #000250402 to Mr. Steven A. Fuller. 

No accounting has been made to the court in regards to the $107,692.30 received by Mr. Steven A. Fuller in connection with the court cases:

LASC Case# BP 099 211 Fuller, Edwina - Conservatorship 

LASC Case# BP 135 381 Fuller, Edwina - Decedent

Click on image to enlarge

But, instead those monies have been excluded from any accounting filed by Atty. Teddie J. Randall and his client Mr. Steven A. Fuller with the court in regards to the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller and or the cases cited above.



That these monies were taken without being reported to the court, without the consent of the court and without the oversight of the court constitutes fraud and financial elder abuse against the beneficiaries of the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller.

Shirley Ritchey, daughter
Sandra Arnold, daughter
Robert Fuller, son
Doris Fuller, daughter

That those monies have been embezzled and fraudulently converted is a violation of statutory law.

It is further alleged that Steven A. Fuller owes each beneficiary $21,538.46, their portion of the $107,692.30 paid to the Estate of Edwina J. Fuller by the Estate of Thelsey L. Fuller. That California Probate Law should have been applied by the court before any monies were distributed or confiscated by Steven A. Fuller and or any of his attorneys.

FIRST AND FINAL ACCOUNT AND REPORT OF ADMINISTRATOR; PETITION FOR APPROVAL OF DISBURSEMENTS; PETITION FOR STATUTORY FEES AND COMMISSIONS; FOR EXTRAORDINARY FEES; AND FOR FINAL DISTRIBUTION [PROBATE CODE 10900-1100, 10954]

Probate Notes - LASC BP099211 for 11 August 2014

First off, had Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller been placed on the witness stand these cases would have been over a very long time ago and all of the attorneys involved would have collected a whole lot less in attorney fees.

There is no deposition or testimony by Thelsey L. Fuller.  He wasn't even allowed to be present during mediation. He was not deposed and he was not called to the witness stand.

Steven A. Fuller and Sandra Jones Anderson had 15 months to place the man whom they were suing on the witness stand which they failed to perform.

It is alleged that Atty. Anderson and Atty. Lak drug the case out in order to inflate their attorney fees.

Continuance, continuance, continuance, after continuance ruled the day.

Judge that sat on Fuller Case, rules against Donald Sterling

Judge OKs record-setting $2B sale of Clippers to ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling lost his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

In allowing the deal to go forward, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided Monday with Sterling's estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, who negotiated the record sale after the NBA banned the 80-year-old billionaire for making offensive remarks about blacks.

FULLER VS. FULLER ET AL. - APPEAL CONTINUED... AGAIN

Over a 15 month period and before his death Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller was never placed under oath asked or answered any question in regards to any civil case by the Plaintiff, Steven A. Fuller or Plaintiff's Attorney, Atty. Sandra Jones Anderson.

Atty. Daniel Kristof Lak for respondent, Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller never placed his client on the stand or under oath during a deposition either being that everything that need to be allegedly signed by Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller had been signed and put into place before Atty. Lak responded to the court case.

Bottom line, neither party wanted Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller on the witness stand.  What would he have said?

"Stick it to my daughters, Carol and Sandra."?

CASE NO. BP122665 FULLER TRUST 13 FEB 2014 DEPT. 11 10:00 am

[Abuse of Thelsey L. Fuller (Edwina)]

Re: REPLY TO RESPONSE AND DECLARATION OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE TO PETITION COMPELLING TRUSTEE TO ACCOUNT AND TO REFRAIN FROM DISTRIBUTING TRUST ASSETS PENDING APPEAL

The ALLEDGED family member residing at the 8625 12th Avenue, Inglewood, California property is the daughter of one of the Abusers, Doris Fuller AKA Doris Fuller Stewart (“Doris”), Ijnanya Fuller (“Ijnanya”).  We do not hold creditable Mr. Oldman’s assertion that Doris’s daughter, Ijnanya, would withhold paperwork from her mother regarding the Inglewood Property while in litigation.  Therefore, the assertion that “neither” Doris nor Robert (Abusers) “were aware of the notice to quit” until this week is on its face - false and only serves to mask a primitive attempt to mislead the Court.
       
The Court found that the July 1, 2008 transfer of $235,152.28 from Thelsey L. Fuller (one of their victims) to the Abusers, Robert Fuller (Robert) and Doris “was caused by undue influence and against Thelsey L. Fuller.”

The Court also found that the September 16, 2008 amendment to the Thelsey S. (sic) Fuller Revocable Trust (Trust) dated July 23, 2008 was the result of undue influence and fraud on the part of Robert Fuller and Doris Fuller and against Thelsey L. Fuller (Thelsey).

In addition, the Court ruled that the very “acts” of Robert and Doris constituted ELDER FINANCIAL ABUSE, UNDUE INFLUENCE AND FRAUD against Thelsey L. Fuller.

UPON ADMITTING THELSEY INTO PACIFIC PALMS CONVELESCANT HOSPITAL ROBERT SIGNED PAPER WORK INDICATING THAT THELSEY SUFFERED FROM DIMINISHED CAPACITY. THIS WAS MERE DAYS AFTER ROBERT AND DORIS DROVE THELSEY TO THE BANK AND REMOVED THE MAJORITY OF THELSY’S MONEY FROM THE CITIBANK ACCOUNT. THELSEY ALSO HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH WELLS FARGO. THELSEY’S RETIREMENT PROCEEDS WERE PROMPTLY REMOVED FROM THE CITIBANK ACCOUNT EVERY MONTH JUST AS SOON AS THEY WERE ELECTRONICALLY DEPOSITED. THELSEY’S SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS, PROCEEDS OF WHICH ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR TO THIS DAY.

It is our belief that ROBERT AND DORIS are also guilty of financial elder abuse against “Edwina Fuller,” (Edwina) Thelsey’s wife, by removing all the retirement funds out of Thelsey’s bank accounts.  The Court ordered that the Trust when controlled by Robert to turn over $ $107,692.30 to Edwina as her portion of Thelsey’s retirement.

Doris states in one of her declarations that she often cooked for Edwina.  According to all of Edwina’s caregivers when asked, they do not recall Robert or Doris visiting Edwina to visit let alone cook.  When Robert and Doris did come over it was to remove Thelsey from Steven Fuller’s (Steven) home in July of 2008 while Steven was at work. It is believed that this was done to prevent the Court from having the impression that Thelsey and Edwina, high school sweethearts, husband and wife had reconciled.  If Thelsey and Edwina had reconciled, that would mean that there would be less money for them at the time of eithers death.  Therefore, we believe that Robert and Doris separated them in an attempt to acquire the entire estate. Which is exactly what they did, though Edwina was still living.  Thelsey and Edwina were still married and beginning to hold hands and laugh together again.  Because of this it would be much more difficult for Robert and Doris to manipulate Thelsey into signing over all the assets to them.  Which is exactly and most expeditiously what they did once Thelsey was removed from the home of Steven and Edwina Fuller.  During his time in the home Thelsey acknowledged that Edwina was his wife.

A lot of testimony from Robert and Doris during the trial was not true, THEY PERJURED THEMSELVES.

After removing Thelsey from the home during the next year Robert and Doris would not allow family members to visit. If family, Sandra Arnold (Sandra) and Shirley Ritchey (Carol) were allowed in Doris’s home to visit their father, Thelsey, they were forced to endure extended periods of time waiting on the porch to get in.  Once allowed inside Sandra and Carol were not allowed to visit with Thelsey alone. Thelsey was never allowed to go on outings with them. WHEN ANYONE WOULD TELEPHONE TO SPEAK TO THELSEY THE CALL WAS PLACED ON SPEAKERPHONE. These disgraceful acts are signs of elder abuse.

Just days after Robert and Doris removed the large sum of $235,152.28 from Thelsey’s Citibank account, they dumped him at Pacific Palms Convalescent Hospital in Long Beach, CA against his will and refused to tell their siblings and other family members where he was located until AFTER his death. Over the course of his later years Thelsey always had made it abundantly clear that he did not want to be placed in a convalescent facility. Thelsey had over $400,000.00.

After reviewing Thelsey Fuller’s medical records, it is our belief that Robert and Doris physically neglected him by allowing him to lay in his excrement and body fluids for long hours.  This is the only explanation for him having two III Stage Decubitus Ulcers and one IV Stage Decubitus Ulcer in the middle of his buttock area. Thelsey’s medical conditions were observed and noted by Dr. Vu upon Thelsy entering the facility. Dr. Vu also noted that Thelsey, could benefit from medical treatment to alleviate some of his suffering and Kaiser would pay for it, Robert refused to allow Dr. Vu to treat these conditions.  Dr. Vu noted all of this in the medical record.  Robert’s refusal to allow Thelsey to be treated may have expedited Thelsey’s death, minimally it caused Thelsey more suffering.

It was noted on the medical record that the facility contacted Doris and asked that someone come to visit him because he was experiencing a mental decline.  Doris and Robert noted on his chart that he was to receive no visitors other than them and that Thelsey was not to be resuscitated. These disgraceful and immoral acts had to have caused great emotional strain to Thelsey L. Fuller, left to die without the love of family or treatment for his medical condition.

Thelsey died alone, broke and confused…believing that he had been betrayed and abandoned by his family.

We will live with this memory for the rest of our lives.

THEREFORE, the Court must enforce the Judgment After Trial conformed on March 19, 2012 as stated:

“The trustee of the Fuller Trust shall recover $235,158.28 from ROBERT FULLER and DORIS FULLER aka DORIS FULLER STEWART as individuals for which amounts ROBERT FULLER and DORIS FULLER aka DORIS FULLER STEWART shall be jointly and severally liable.”

ELDER ABUSE, WHO DIDN'T I TELL?

http://benamarine.blogspot.com/2010/11/commitment-to-daddy.html

[THE ABUSERS ARE STILL AT LARGE]

B241450, FULLER vs FULLER ET AL

California 2nd District Court of Appeal
B241450 Fuller vs. Fuller et al.

Greetings,

Robert and Doris have admitted and agreed that they owe Edwina $107,692.30 - BP099211, BP122665 before anyone is paid anything as found and ordered by the court.

Why haven't they been forced to pay these monies in order for their appeal to move forward?

Robert and Doris mention "the assets of the Trust which are rightfully theirs under the Trust" in their Ex Parte Application, dated January 24, 2014.

They fail to mention in their Ex Parte Application that they were found by the Court to have committed "fraud" and "financial elder abuse."

Nor, have they been ordered to do an accounting of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust while in their control.

We believe that the lower court cases should have been consolidated years ago to save tax payers, the Court and the litigants an awful lot of time and money thus reducing of all things the attorneys' fees.

Those cases are in Los Angeles County Superior Court: BP099211, BP118616, BP122665, BP135381

We've got our nerve but, not $107,692.30 worth that Robert & Doris still owe to Mom or the over $308,000.00 that they stole once combined.

"He was sharp." Doris Aleda Fuller

Robert & Doris claim they did not commit undue influence?

DECLARATION OF DORIS FULLER

Doris A. Fuller is not a Fuller at all.

"FOLLOW THE MONEY!" $$$

1                         DECLARATION OF DORIS FULLER 

2 I, Doris Fuller, hereby declare:

3     1.     I am an adult child of Edwina Fuller ("Edwina"), the conservatee.

NO YOU AREN'T!


On April 16, 1946 two women gave birth to baby girls. One woman being black and the other woman being white. The black woman gave birth to a white baby and the white woman gave birth to a black baby.  The babies were switched which is why Edwina left Doris at the hospital. Thelsey had to go back to the hospital with his brother to pick up infant Doris. Edwina didn't lay up with a "darky" with kinky hair and big lips let alone get impregnated by one, EVER!   An earlier rape and having her baby stolen, I believe may have been the tipping point and the beginning of Edwina's personal and mental issues.

Oh, and while it's on my mind, according to Edwina - as stated above regarding the rape - Robert Fuller's daddy is white.  She stated that she was dragged into a field and raped by a white man and became pregnant as a result of that rape.  In those days the rapes of black women by white men were not investigated by police.

 I make this

4 declaration on my own personal knowledge and belief and, if called to do so, I could competently

5 testify hereto.

6     2.     I make this declaration in support of my objections to the Second and Final Account

7 and Report of Conservator, petition for Termination, Petition for Attorney and Conservator Fees, and

8 Request for Reimbursement by Steve Fuller ("Steve"), the conservator.

9     3.     During the account period, Edwina was elderly and suffering from dementia. Her

10  monthly food bill is estimated at no more than $250. I often cooked for Edwina so I am familiar with

Circa 2003, would have been the last time Doris was in Steven's home helping with Edwina and when Steven returned home from work it is known that Edwina had been left soiled all day.

11 the amount of groceries she required. Schedule C of the Accounting, however, shows grocery

12 purchases as high as $665 per month. This amount appears excessive for Edwina alone. Steve

13 resided with Edwina during the entire account period. In addition, Steve's niece and his niece's son

14 and son's friend resided in Edwina's residence on a sporadic basis during the account period. Based

15 on the grocery expenditures reflected on Schedule C, it appears that Edwina's funds were used to buy

16 groceries, not just for Edwina, but also for Steve, his niece and her son and son's friend.

Edwina lived with Steven in his residence not the other way around and he worked himself to the bone to make sure that Edwina had the very best of everything that life had to offer including around the clock care.   

"his niece and her son" not "our niece and nephew"?

I strongly suggest that the Court and all interest parties review all reports given by the PVP Attorney, Sibylle Grebe concerning the care of Edwina J. Fuller as provided by Steven Fuller.

Doris Fuller you are a liar, a thief and the truth is not in you. 
http://benamarine.blogspot.com/2013/02/deposition-testimony-of-elder-abuser.html

Tell the Court how you and Robert have failed to give up the Inglewood property, disclose all the information on your home being gifted back to you by Daddy after you took out a reverse mortgage and the condo located at 8707 Falmouth Ave. #308. 

Yeah, and why is it that Daniel Kristof Lak quit on you? 

17     I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is

18 true and correct.

19      Executed this 28 day of March 2013, at Encino, California.

20                                                                   D~~~~ F~~~~~
