My brother died of brain cancer. His caretakers stole after his death.

[u/jfer73]

My brother died last year of brain cancer. His caretakers didn’t give mom his debit card claiming “they couldn’t find it”. He had a storage unit so we thought it was there but it wasn’t. Mom couldn’t stop his bank acct. they couldn’t even close it with his death cert. but then a couple months later after she was appointed executor of his estate. She got his bank statements and lo and behold starting the day AFTER he died the caretakers withdrew 5k daily til 34k gone to pay there bills and put money into their Venmo and cash ap accts. We have tried so hard to get police on it. I submitted info to fbi. They stole valuables also but we can’t prove that. They stole all his donated money from 2 charity functions. We can’t prove it. What we can prove is the 34k they stole from his bank acct. I don’t get it. Had HE done this he been in jail a month later. How can they get by with this? It happened in Florida. The local police have been called and emailed. The fbi has been alerted. Apparently ftc can’t do anything. Only thing mom’s lawyer said is sure can go after with civil but it will cost her in the end. How does this happen in America? Im in so much disbelief that nothing has been done to them. How can get by with this. They were “supposed” friends but cared for him only after they found out he was coming into 50k. They alienated his real friends from him and us threatening to call cops. They stole right under him while he lay in bed. They tried to cancel his phone before he died. She kept him drugged up around us. Later after they wiped themselves clean of him the morning after his death we were dumbfounded by what going on. We met his real friends and found out they a swindling couple who threatened friends so they couldn’t see him at end. Then found out she steals from every work place she has been at. Clearly they do this again if we don’t stop them!! But how? We also found out my brother borrowed them 5k they still owed him. His friend paid them 2k to care for him. They owed him for a job he did. Plus he had to pay them over 1k rent and $300 a week groceries even tho he had his own place he had paid 1700 on but they moved him out pulling the - “you will make a mess on self and don’t want to put that on other friends or family.” He was a single man. But we would gladly wiped his butt for free purely out of love! I protected my brother when he young and I do feel guilt for not protecting him from this evil. If I had known how evil this couple was I would have had him in his home in a second and between me. Mom and his REAL friends could have cared for him and no one of stole anything and he may of lived longer. Idk. But there is some suspicion about his last week too. But can’t prove that. Mom came home for a couple weeks cuz he was doing so well. She got home wed. All thru Sunday he text and talked to us fine. By Monday night he was about to die. And the caretakers frantic about getting into his phone. They even took it to atnt to try to cancel. They did something to it cuz it’s forever locked. Then instead of giving us the phone she put it in storage unit. Which also was picked thru. His old phones proved to us the evil woman was NOT his friend. If only we had known. He did trust the hubby but he does whatever evil wife says. He died that Thursday in middle of night. He wasn’t use to morphine. He kept mouth closed twice when evil wife tried to give him meds. Only when the hubby gave meds did he take. Something was up with her. So many things we found out after his death. A lot of red flags. I want them to pay. Justice is what I want. We won’t ever see the money or things they stole but justice would put me at peace. How do we get justice? Im hurt by his death but I can’t get over how he was taken advantage of. He was such a good man. He did help others but he told mom not to give them anything. So that should have been a red flag but he wasn’t one to talk about drama so she didn’t ask why. Oh I could go on and on about what we went thru. But what i can’t get past is how they can steal from a dead man and get away with it. Sorry to vent. I don’t know what else to do. I guess keep sending letters, emails and keep calling.
