An Absolutely Incredible Act of Betrayal


The numbers are staggering.  Just one in every 44 cases of financial abuse of the elderly is ever reported.

That number is growing in Hamilton County.

The sad fact is, most elderly financial abuse, is done by either a relative, or someone close to the victim.

This is a look at what's being called, "an absolutely incredible act of betrayal."

After working so many years as a mechanic and heavy equipment operator, Tom McGinnis thought he and his wife Faye had everything they needed for retirement.
But that nest egg was built on years of scrimping and saving.

"I reckon we thought we could live on love or something," he says.

Over the years, they bought commodities including gold, silver, platinum, jewelrycollectibles and valuable heirlooms, stored in this safe at home, and money saved in the bank.

When Faye McGinnis passed away three years ago, their granddaughter Jacqueline Reihl and her husband Ronnie moved in, supposedly to take care of Mr. McGinnis..

He says he suspected nothing, until one day he went to the bank and found his account cleaned out.  "It had to be them," he says.

He went home to check on his safe, and found a roll of quarters, broke open on the floor.  "They were lying right there," he pointed to the spot.  "Right there is the paper roll they were in."

He feared the worse.  "When I found all this out and they KNEW that I had found out, they left," he says.

And that's when he also discovered what they'd been up to over the past year.. buying expensive cars, TV's, computers, and hundreds of lottery tickets.  He says they also took lavish trips.


"I felt like killing 'em," he remembers.  "That's what I felt like."

Mr. McGinnis estimates his loss at almost $700,000 dollars.

California to Take a Tougher Stance on Financial Elder Abuse


. By 
San Diego, CA: California is expected to pass three bills that will take a tougher stance on financial elder abuse than existing laws currently do. Those laws, which deal with elderly financial abuse, would not only update the definition of undue influence as it relates to elder abuse, but would also require notary publics to report suspected elder abuse.

California to Take a Tougher Stance on Financial Elder AbuseAccording to Fox 5 San Diego (9/30/13), California Governor Jerry Brown has until October 12 to either sign or veto the proposed bills, which are designed to hold people more accountable for elder financial fraud. Among them are Assembly Bill 477, which would require notaries to notify authorities if they suspect elderly financial abuse is occurring, and Assembly Bill 140, which updates the definition of undue influence related to financial abuse.

In August 2013, Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 381, which allows the courts to award attorney’s costs and fees in situations where seniors are financially abused by people who have power of attorney.

The bills are likely welcome news for people concerned about how California’s seniors are treated, but it may come too late for some. In fact, regulators in California are accused of ignoring complaints of elder abuse. According to a report by the Center for Investigative Reporting (9/9/13; found online at cironline.org) in 2009, the California Department of Public Health told investigators to dismiss approximately 1,000 complaints of elder abuse and theft. This means almost 1,000 cases of elderly financial, physical and sexual abuse have been closed without a proper investigation, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Much financial elder abuse is committed by trusted family members and associates, who are given power of attorney and have control of the senior’s money. Because financial elder abuse is often perpetrated by a family member, many seniors do not report it. Even if they do, because of their age, there is a chance they will have passed away before ever being compensated for their losses.

"Medical building went missing from L.A. County tax rolls"



Redondo Beach facility's owners did not receive a tax bill for three years. It is one of 15 cases of questionable assessments forwarded to the D.A.'s office.

The Prospect South Bay Medical Center in Redondo Beach is home to dozens of doctors' offices — cardiologists, obstetricians and an urgent care center.
But for three years, the $11-million, 47,000-square-foot building disappeared from the Los Angeles County tax rolls. During that time, county officials acknowledge, they never sent a tax bill to the owner.
The assessor's office forwarded the case of the missing building and 14 other questionable assessments to the Los Angeles County district attorney last month following inquiries from The Times.
Prosecutors are in the midst of an influence-peddling probe of the county assessor's office, examining hundreds of properties suspected of getting illegal tax reductions from a former county appraiser.
Assessor officials said they could not explain why one of those buildings vanished from the roll.
"Slander of Real Estate Titles?"

Aunt Annie Retired From The Rock Hill Police Department


I sure wish Robert, Doris and Daniel pulled their elder abuse, financial elder abuse, fraud and undue influence in South Carolina they would all be in jail.

Selective Prosecution by California Attorney General



4 arrested in alleged scheme that targeted elderly

The Associated Press
Published: Friday, Sep. 21, 2012 - 4:02 pm

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Authorities have arrested four California residents for allegedly running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded dozens of investors out of $2.3 million from 2003 to 2011.

Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday that the four suspects were charged with 66 felony counts of elder abuse, securities fraud and conspiracy.

Officials say husband and wife Philip and Ellen Lester, both 65, were arrested Thursday in Riverside County. Susan Laferte and Jonathan Blinder, both 58, were taken into custody Thursday in Nevada County.

My experience with the California Attorney General's office under Brown and now Harris has been that prosecuting elder abuse is not their top priority.  The same can be said for just about any government agency charged with protecting our elders and bringing those to justice that bring mental, physical and financial abuse to bear on our elders.
