Jumping in here prior to reading the remaining 22,000 pages to catch up. (Ok, 22,000 MIGHT be an exaggeration, but you get the gist
). Anyway, if what I'm about to post has already been covered in the 22, 023 pages I have left, please forgive me!
Regarding the financial disclosure issue that the Ms have been arrested on; I'm wondering if it might have something to do with one of them being a fiduciary for another person.
I'll explain. I work for the VA and when a veteran or other claimant is deemed incompetent, a fiduciary is appointed to handle the claimant's VA funds (if/when awarded). The fiduciary MUST account for those funds if/when the VA requests an accounting. The accounting MUST include ALL monies the claimant has. The VA wants to make sure that the fiduciary is spending the money on the CLAIMANT it was intended for and only the claimant. When the fiduciary completes the accounting, it has to be filed with the county clerk, etc. If the fiduciary doesn't complete the accounting or there are discrepancies, the VA will give the fiduciary chances to fix it, but eventually the fiduciary can and WILL be arrested, if the accounting just doesn't add up.
Now...I am just speculating here. I know Social Security works much like VA in regards to appointing a fiduciary when a claimant is deemed incompetent. We don't know for CERTAIN that there aren't other adults or other people living within that little compound. We know of the Ms, their children, TMs father, right? Even within that dynamic, the Ms could be responsible for TMs father's finances and discrepancies have come about. Could be a trust fund issue for one of the kiddos or another person (if one lives there that we're not yet privy to the existence of).
I'm just trying to think outside the box. One of them being a fiduciary for someone else would give them access to funds to pay off someone to "take care of" HE. The Ms, TM anyway, seem narcissistic enough to believe that nobody would catch on, because the funds didn't come from her/their own bank account/funds.
ALL JMOO and the nature of my job pulled my brain string!!! LOL.
