that ain't right.

A Ford Ranger!? Really?

Obscure?

Congrats, you've just earned a front row seat for the Beelzebub Show!

Leeds: Obscure?

Kitchen nightmares? No.

$40,000 in three months. Never ceases to amaze me the capacity for poor people to spend, spend, spend and have nothing to show for it.

/POS truck doesn't count as an asset.

Teen Wolf Blitzer: A Ford Ranger!? Really?

A $3,000 Excursion, really? Know how rough that thing must be to sell for $3k? The markup alone is supposed to be $3k, so it has essentially no value.

Did I read the article right and it said he is 34 and has an adult daughter?

Put him in a room and charge people $10 to come in and beat him with a rubber hose for 5 minutes. I am pretty sure that the $40,000 will not only be replaced but it will earn a lot of interest!

Sandra received $65,000 from a settlement after a health care provider did not lock her wheelchair properly

That's what I thought of! I just watched that episode (both parts) on Youtube last night.

2nd degree grand theft, 15 years max, no minimum guideline in Florida. Have fun Mr. Truck guy.

don't bring obama into this ............

i'm 32 and i anticipate that i will look like that guy (sans stache' ) in another 30 years. and will not own a truck between now and then.

This! I freaked out for a minute cause i'm 38 and wondered if everybody thought I looked old as hell too. My wife assured me I still looked like a young Whill Whheaton. I believe her.

He had recently read Atlas Shrugged.

I really hope that's a typo.

High gasoline prices have devalued the Excursion, which has about the same foot print as a studio apartment.

Cup_O_Jo: How the hell does someone have a special needs account with that much money? HOLY CROW.

Good lawyers

gadian: At least someone was being diligent and noticed the missing money. There are many more elderly and disabled people who are victims of their legal guardians and no one ever knows. The scumbags can justify it so easily too - "it was a gift", "it was for her", "what makes me feel better puts me in a better place to take care of him", or even, "I deserve it, I don't get paid to put up with this". Sometimes I wish that every vulnerable adult had a court appointed and monitored guardian, but even those aren't 100% safe.

True more often than not, it seems. Many moons ago, I managed Section 8 rental housing and many of the older folks had absent and/or addict children or grandchildren as their representative payees. One lady came very close to starvation because every dime of her money was being embezzled and she was too ashamed to tell anyone.

For the younger SSI recipients disabled for reasons such as alcoholism or learning disabilities, often they named their drinking and tweaking buddies (themselves welfare recipients) as payees.

There are so many people who genuinely deserve benefits, but in many places the system is so farked that SSI has just stepped in to replace welfare for people who have used up their lifetime benefits and feel the system still owes them a check every month.

he's 34 and has an adult daughter.. enough said...

I suspect what his daughter actually said was "Nnnngggguuuhhh!"

/That guy's a dick.

My 2010 Suburban however, has a similar footprint but gets me to Vegas on half a tank of gas (no it's not a 200 gallon tank, it's' 30 gallon). Gotta love the feature that drops it to a V4 when cruising on level ground or on hills, using cruise control, etc.

averages 20mpg overall, not bad for a huge auto.

those wearing nicer clothing who handle trusts or is it estates dip their hand in for a tidy self-appointed sum when the situation allows. little cherry jobs that are appointed to family and friends of to benefit by. these actions don't make the newspapers but some should. there is lots of easy sleazy money behind the scenes things that worker drones don't benefit from.
there was a good Law & Order episode with actor David Hyde Pierce (i think), who had easy access to the personal belongings of some dearly departed. His character built a stable of high performance sports cars using ill-found gain, until Vincent D'onofrio & sexy sidekick exposed his shenanigans.
i wish Charlie was here to help but he's in Sunny Philly right now, something about guardian ad litum and power of attorney and what-not.

Okay, maybe she didn't say we could buy the trucks--but when we asked her, she was nodding "yes" the whole time.

ZombiesYall: Did I read the article right and it said he is 34 and has an adult daughter?

Remember that the article was written by a journalism major - the major where all other major flunk-outs go to graduate. How else do you explain MSNBC?

In other news, $10 says she has cerebral palsy to begin with due to some stupid actions of the "parents".

These are the people having all the children.

If you give me 2:1, I'll lay that the wheelchair wheel locks were tampered by dad.

What the phuq is a "Special Needs Account", and where can i get one with $40k in it??

Yeah. I'm 38 and I look way younger than the POS "dad" in TFA. Being a jerk must be aging.

Yes, Officer I said that but I was drunk at the time

This guy was what the douchebag was invented for.

As a father of a child with CP, who also has a special needs trust, I am cheering for this guy to be tortured in prison for several years.

When you asked her if it would be OK, it's not right to have your son holding her head and nodding it up and down.
