My Grandmother’s Favorite Scammer

Posted on 12/15/2019
Written by Perry Shulman Leave a Comment

In an article from Sunday’s New York Times Opinion Section (12/8/19), the reporter discusses how his very patriotic 88 year old grandmother was defrauded and lost her life savings.  She believed that she was helping the government stop a multi-million dollar international money laundering scheme. 

We all have to be vigilant in protecting our family and clients’ assets from all sorts of scams.

Written by Karen Erbacher Leave a Comment

New York City is on the move with the appointment of 18 new (additional) Age-friendly NYC Commission members.  This was recently announced by the de Blasio Administration in partnership with the New York City Council and the New York Academy of Medicine.  The Commission, as a whole, is comprised of noted leaders from government, nonprofit, business, education and health care.  Please see link:  https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dfta/about/pr-De-Blasio-announces-reseating-of-the-age-friendly-NYC-commission.page

NYC continues to identify and implement a number of initiatives to address the challenges older New Yorkers face.  NYC also continues to be recognized as leader of the age-friendly movement nationally.

Thanks to Orion Strategic Advisory Board member, Sharon Lewis, for bringing this development to light.

From AARP:

When the family of Bobby Glenn Tweed made the difficult decision to have him admitted to a nursing home in January 2013, little did they realize he would have just months left to live. While diagnosed with dementia, Tweed, 78, was still a vigorous man.

But without his family’s consent, Tweed was given psychotropic drugs that are known to be fatal among older patients with dementia. In 10 months, he was dead. Read more
