At 93, She Waged War on JPMorgan and Her Grandsons

@Mitch 1066 I think that's why most people treaure their jewelry. Each of my watches represents a goal I achieved and I bought them to commemorate the goal. I have some amazing mens rings with some true artistry and craftsmanship. I'm sure they are worth quite a bit. I have no idea how much they are worth because they we given to me by my parents and grandparents. Each one came with a story. I love the stories, I love the pieces, but I miss my grandparents more. Which is why I think the reason she is sad she can no longer feel the same about an entire branch of her family anymore. That is her son. She carried him. Gave birth to him. Raised him and was proud of him. Hugged him when he became a father. Repeated those moments if pride as her grandson's moved through life. And they ruined it. It's gone now. The money could come back. The jewelry, however unlikely could be returned. But the love for her son and grandsons is damaged permanently. That's a whole new kind of sad. Mazzels for her grand-daughter.

[@blacksunshine5758]

Sad! How despicable to take what is not yours! Those grandsons were acting like it was their money and when would it have ended... when they were millionaires and she was broke?

I hope she wills it to her granddaughter and caregiver only!

@@blacksunshine5758 Too bad they waited until SHE initiated action. They could have done something long before. I used to have several accounts with JP Morgan and found that they will allow their employees manipulate accounts unethically and unlawfully as long as they are making money and the victim doesn't initiate action. They aren't the only ones. It's a rather common practice. I have since moved my assets to a Japanese brokerage firm. Although it costs me more in taxes, the respect I receive and the faith that my assets are safe is more then worth a few percentage points.

A guy I worked with always had designer clothes. I’m like we’re getting the same pay? We’re living in apartments in Vancouver and you have just designer clothes? Like Gucci, Versace, Jeremy Scott.. he constantly looked like an 80s jogger. Iuno if it’s related but we were making minimum wage at the time. It just didn’t add up.

I have a brother who tried to get at my mom's money right after my dad died, and his gf tried to convince her to stop taking her meds. Fortunately, she'd already made myself and my other brother power of attorneys and we dealt with the evil ones swiftly and surely. I told them no one touches her money and my other brother threatened them legally. We haven't talked to him since 2008. Just before xmas in 2008, Mom went to her lawyer with her investment agent, and cut the evil brother right out of everything. He didn't get so much as a thin dime when she died a few years later.

Because she is a private citizen not law enforcement. Ultimately only the government (District Attorneys and Judges) can decide if something can be criminally charged with a goal of imprisonment.
