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.

Hollywood Horror Story, Wire the Money and Run

"The first hearing in the case was held on Dec. 11 before Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas, who ruled against Paquette’s request to have Shlain suspended as Eunice’s trustee.

“I am not going to do anything…in terms of making any removal,” he said. “Mr. Shlain will continue to be the trustee.”

Eunice’s court appointed attorney, Mary Creutz, agreed with the ruling, stating:  “I need some time with this case to see whether Mr. Shlain is as bad as he’s painted to be.”

On Dec. 31, Shlain, using two attorneys funded by Eunice’s money, filed an objection to appointing Alpert as Eunice’s conservator.

At another hearing on Feb. 11, 2010, Paquette again asked – practically begged – the judge to remove Shlain as Eunice’s trustee, saying that Shlain “took advantage of her and sold her house out from under her and all of her belongings before she was even dead…If selling this woman’s house from under her isn’t enough to convince this court to at least suspend (Shlain), then what does it take?”

Paquette told the court that Shlain was a “predator on the elderly,” and called him Eunice’s own personal Bernie Madoff.

Stewart Neuville, another of Shlain’s lawyers, assured the court that Eunice’s trust fund “is safe and secure,” and called Alpert an “interloper who seeks somehow to gain control of Eunice’s assets.”

“The corpus of the Trust is safe and secure,” Neuville told the court, “and is being managed competently by a professional certified public accountant.”

None of that turned out to be true, but once again, the judge demurred and let Shlain stay on as Eunice’s trustee and in total control of her money.

The judge scheduled another hearing for March, but bank records subpoenaed in the civil proceedings show that on March 3, Shlain withdrew $886, 040 from Eunice’s trust account and wired it to a woman named Natalya Vronsky at Bank Hapoalim in Tel Aviv. A few weeks later, he closed his accounting office on Wilshire Boulevard and vanished."

After reading over your report indicated above “An Investigation of Elder Abuse Prevention Services and Programs”, It is no wonder I am unable to get justice for my 92-year-old grandparents.

I submit the enclosed computer disc.

I pray that the Grand Jury can review and then pass on to those agencies responsible for the prevention, investigation and prosecution of elder abuse, financial elder abuse the information provided on the disc.

So, that those agencies may have a real life example of what to look for in some cases of elder abuse, financial elder abuse.

That the information may be used for training purposes.

COMPLAINT TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY, DATED APRIL 6, 2010

Mrs. Edwina J. Fuller 08/20/1917

Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller 06/03/1917 - 08/26/2009

Honorable Civil Grand Jury,

Please find enclosed a second computer disc containing the banking statements [Citibank] of Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller from late 2007 – December 2009.

Everything appears to be in order up to the point where he gave a Power of Attorney to Robert L. Fuller and Doris A. Stewart (Fuller) and which appears to have been given over to Citibank in May of 2008. After which time $308,000.00 [three hundred eight thousand dollars] was removed from his account.

My grandfather also had(s) an account with Wells Fargo, which was verbally confirmed by Robert L. Fuller in a telephone conversation on 27 May 2010.

Also, there is a discrepancy as to what happened to Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller’s social security checks the last year of his life.

It must be noted that my grandparents never divorced as my grandfather knew that he would be forced to financially settle with my grandmother, Mrs. Edwina J. Fuller, his wife.

Should the Grand Jury have any questions feel free to contact me at any time.
