 Easy Money
"Professional Conservator Rodney Paul Swanson
allegedly stole nearly $2M from frail old people
he was supposed to take care of.
And he may get away with it,
thanks to the D.A.'s office"
Denise Hamilton

Financial abuse of the elderly
is one of the least reported
crimes against the elderly.
It is also difficult to
prove and difficult to stop.
If anyone has information
please visit the message board
on financial abuse and tell your story.
Thank you.

SEE ALSO "SWEETHEART SCAM" INFORMATION
The Wisconsin Report addresses
areas that would indicate
finacial abuse of the elderly.
The issue of "excessive affection
by new acquaintances" is very difficult to prove.
It happens far more often than anyone realizes by
newly found younger sweethearts to paid caregivers
who simply take over the family role, and methodologically
remove the family and set themselves up as the elderly's
main system of support.
Any caregiver who attempts to remove family
from the elder's life should be suspect.

"Recent acquaintances express excessive
affection for a wealthy older person."
