Monterey, CA Elder Abuse Abounds

Two people sitting on a couch watching television.


Financial elder abuse continues to proliferate, especially in wealthy pockets of the country like Monterey County, Carmel, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach.  This despite the expansion of the Department of Justices Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force, which had been limited to six regional offices until late last year when they went to 20.  Federal prosecutors in those offices are dedicating additional resources to stop fraud against older people, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton told AARP Bulletin.  A report from the AARP found that the rate of financial exploitation of older Americans more than doubled since the COVID-19 pandemic began.  “This kind of behavior is just despicable,†U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview with AARP.  “The [DOJ’s] Civil Division is doing everything to fight against it.â€

Senator Dianne Feinstein Alleges Financial Elder Abuse

A woman with glasses is looking at the camera.


Senator Dianne Feinstein has sued to remove the trustees of her late husband’s estate, and in the process accused them of committing financial elder abuse.  There are two charges; 1 that they have refused to respond to any requests for disbursements and; 2 that they have financially enriched his daughters from a prior marriage.  Diane’s daughter, Katherine Feinstein, has a limited durable power of attorney to act as her representative in litigation.  Steven Braccini, the attorney representing Blums two daughters told the San Francisco Chronicle the trustees “have acted ethically and appropriately at all times; the same cannot be said for Katherine Feinstein.  This filing is unconscionable.  The trustees have always respected Senator Feinstein and always will.  But this has nothing to do with her needs and everything to do with her daughter’s avarice.â€Â  He claims delays in payment are due to the lack of liquidity in the estate and the fact that a large tax bill needs to be settled before any claims can be paid.

Walking Significantly Reduces Chance Of Early Death

Walking just 4,000 steps per day can significantly reduce your risk of an early death, according to a new meta analysis of studies.  “The more steps you walk, the better the effects on your health, and significant mortality reductions,†author Dr. Maciej Banach, deputy editor-in-chief of the European Society of Cardiology, told a reporter.  Anything below 5,000 steps per day is considered a sedentary lifestyle.  “We showed that every increase of steps by 1000 steps/day is associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, and every increase by 500 steps/day is associated with a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease,†said Banach.
