Elderly woman scammed for over $1 million |
|
| Comments: |
Article notes that an employee of the SOWEGA Council on Aging is among those accused of embezzling more than $1 million from an elderly woman. The SOWEGA Council on Aging volunteer accused of masterminding the crime is also known to have guardianship over at least three other elderly persons. The mastermind "was supposed to have been monitored by the courts, but she failed to turn in financial reports, and hearings about that were repeatedly postponed." |
