I have knowledge of an elderly man in Florida who is very charitable and generous, and who is being scammed by a person that he has put in charge of one of his foundations. Her expense reports are "padded", her salary outrageous, and she's taken him for more than he will admit. It's one thing that it's his personal money -- it's another that it's charitable/foundation money. And who do you report this to?
His lawyers have been advised, and they don't seem to care. The people who do care can only sit back and watch additional scams unfold. This gal has gone from rags to riches in two years -- and those who are looking out for him can only sit back and watch it happen. No one "in power" seems to care. What can a person do to keep her from taking every cent he has? (Note: he's 86, she's 35, transplanted from Mexico to Florida). It may be too late, as he just named her President of another foundation, and we think she may have access to his funds. This situation worsens by the day.
