Maybe Softail can clarify this for us when they get back.
No comment.

Maybe Softail can clarify this for us when they get back.
And if she isn't the one who set up the fundraisers I don't understand how any fraud could be involved. To me it comes down to: He died. Let's help his family.
False pretense means the family (not joe) plotted this. So are you saying the family was aware that he was going to kill himself and they were going to cover it up and have fundraisers and rake in millions.
I don't think so. Also go fund me doesn't make you give back anything. Jmo. But people do have the right to ask for donations back if it was deemed a fraudulent suicide.
But that wouldn't mean the family was in on it nor that the fundraising was fraudulent on their part.
So are you saying that joe and the wife plotted this together?
I think she should definitely get an attorney when tax time comes because she's going to have a LOT to deal with, not just the fund raising. But if she's not the one asking for the money or claiming she needs it for reasons specifically related to how he died I don't see where there's fraud involved.
Exactly. The armed forces and leos are a brotherhood amongst themselves and he was a part of both for years.
He served his time in both brotherhoods for years. So i doubt people would feel dishonored or ask for their money back if this does happen to come out as a suicide.
He served. He protected. And he may have made a mistake. But he is dead. He still has a family. And since the media decided to boost this case is not the families fault.
But whether it was suicide or homicide. He died during duty. And the brotherhoods understand his pain whether by his hands or someone elses.
And this is why they donated. Jmo
That is not what it means.
It means if you fund raised based on a certain set of circumstances and those circumstances turn out not to exist then that can be considered fraud.
It didn't matter if you "thought" they existed because the law states the persond who "thought" they did to and gave you money based on this can demand it back when the "thought" turns out to be false.
Similar area, not too many similarities in cases IMO. It was a big deal for several weeks about 15 min. away from Fox Lake. Surprised I didn't find any threads on WS on the victim or suspect.
If the funds raiser even mentioned "killed on duty" that would be cause for fraud if it is determined he committed suicide. Especially because some people would not be willing to support a fund raiser for that.
Like I said it all depends on the words, and the intent of the people giving.
I wanted to pass on some info regarding the 1033 Program.
Fox Lake PD was suspended in July 2014 according to Illinois State Program Director because of missing or incomplete paperwork. No other details were provided and all requests to FLPD are being denied.
According to Illinois FLPD was reinstated in Aug 2014 after they submitted the proper paperwork.
It is not known if FLPD has had any further dealings with the Federal Program since they were Apparently reinstated.
This information was obtained personally by me in conjunction with a reporter I am in contact with.
If you question the authenticity then please feel free to summit your own request to the state of Illinois.
Additionally, the program had new filing requirements that made it more complicated and a number of entities were suspended until paperwork could be complete.
She knowingky accepted money while knowing that the investigation had not concluded that he was killed on duty and while knowing they were still investigating this as a possible suicide.Sorry my friend. Fraud is when you KNOWINGLY tried some bs to make money. So unless the family or the starters of the fundraising knew but still didn't take it down.
Then it's not fraudulent. Jmo
But that would be after the fact and after the coroner released the mod.
WHICH HE HASN'T DONE YET. SO AS OF NOW. IT IS NOT FRAUD. JMO
When did the requirements change? Wouldn't the PDs have been notified in advance changes were coming?
Additionally, the program had new filing requirements that made it more complicated and a number of entities were suspended until paperwork could be complete.
She knowingky accepted money while knowing that the investigation had not concluded that he was killed on duty and while knowing they were still investigating this as a possible suicide.
So IFshe knowing claimed he was killed on duty as part Of the funds raiser that is all a lawyer needs to make a claim.
I don't write the laws.
Were any weapons missing or was it just a matter of missing paperwork?
Some people still have honor. It's about how they will be viewed after the fact by their friends,family, cohorts and the community. Some people believe it or not would rather die than be dishonored. To a person with honor anyone who would steal, lie, defraud, etc would be very dishonorable. This would be seen as a huge character flaw.

Once again. Sorry my friend. She accepted the money because her husband suddenly died and others started fundraising in his name for her and their kids.
But that doesn't mean that she was in on some plot. So she should not feel guilty for accepting donations. Jmo
I NEVER SAID IT WAS FRAUD NOW.
This entire discussion is about what could happen to the money should this be determined it is suicide.
Frankly I don't care. I don't give away my hard earned money to some family who has a pension, insurance And 30 years of savings.
