‘Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive’ – Sir Walter Scott (1808) from Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field.
A legal system can only function as designed if those in authority are willing to adhere to duty and enforce the law on its own court officers, otherwise the Court is a facade; a fabricated machination designed to financially benefit actors at the expense of casualties seeking justice.
The more caviler and brazen a network of white-collar professionals (cells) committing violations, the more likely there is top-down system wide corruption. When regulatory agencies whitewash and conceal indicia of corruption the greater chance bad actors will be able to unjustly prosper at the expense of the vulnerable citizenry, businesses, commerce, healthcare providers, court systems, and civic community’s structures; such as county, state and national governance.
Defelacation.org is a decentralized private-sector entity that analysis, consults and provides education on complex white-collar crime networks and endemic corruption within systems including civic regulatory structures. Participant analysts are usually not attorneys or law enforcement and no legal advise is offered. No donations are accepted and no fees are charged; educational material is free.
Entrenched Professional Cronyism in Probate Courts, A Key Factor in Elder Abuse & Exploitation.
The DEFALCATION Project is a private sector, nation-wide research endeavor as well as an educational hub for Elder Justice Advocacy Organizations, Journalists, Policy Makers and all person’s concerned with vulnerable person exploitation, legal protection & public safety.
Multiple Government sources claim their is a shortage on vulnerable person, and more specifically elder abuse, exploitation and negligence data. While totals and the extent of the problem is extremely difficult to measure most agree the scope of the “silent epidemic” of elder abuse is a catastrophic problem that effects many fields from law and social services to the medical and financial services industry. There are several viable explanations for this. Elder Rights Advocacy Organizations have been addressing and compiling information on these societal problems for years. Independent researchers, scholar’s, analysts and consultants have produced a wealth of information.
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
DEFALCATION.org researchers analyse cases while working directly with elder justice advocacy organizations and victims affected by elder abuse, exploitation and negligence. The results of these efforts lead to the development of a large and ever-expanding data repository that compares and contrasts current government data and the viable accounts of those directly impacted by exploitation, corruption and failed institutional responses. The following diagrams and links to various supporting data and the trend tracking repository provides a glimpse into the criminal elements facing the nation as it struggles to discern the problem as a means to reduce the damages and ideally create viable corrective solutions and accountability to eliminate repeating exploitative patterns.

Adopted from Criminologist Donald Cressey Creator of the Fraud Triangle. ACFE; Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Fraud Triangle. “Trusted persons become trust violators when they conceive of themselves as having a financial problem which is non-shareable, are aware this problem can be secretly resolved by violation of the position of financial trust, and are able to apply to their own conduct in that situation verbalizations which enable them to adjust their conceptions of themselves as trusted persons with their conceptions of themselves as users of the entrusted funds or property.” 1 1 Donald R. Cressey, Other People’s Money (Montclair: Patterson Smith, 1973) p. 30. |

DEFALCATION.org consults with programmers on the develop on GIS Geo-intl tracking and repeating pattern analysis systems, this includes white collar crime data aggregation mapping applications and field data gathering application. The Citizen’s Public Safety Networks public safety tools: VP TaskForce (white paper below) is one such project. Another is a variety of public safety policy research publishing platforms such as Northwest Journal News and The Advocates Publishing Platform; AP Network News.

Analyst Example of a Complex Evolving Living Trust Scheme; From Estate Drafting to For-Profit Conservator Execution.
- Estate Planners draft voidable (fraudulent) Majority Ruled Revocable Trust where majority trustees are also elder beneficiaries and decide and pass donative transfers to themselves the memory-compromised seniors assets through tactically timed trust amendments and their interplay with Will(s),
- For-profit Conservators retains the same estate planning attorneys as sub-contractors or outside vendors with court appointed for-profit Conservatorship proceeds to execute the fiduciaries gifting schemes created by voidable (fraudulent trusts) while the elder person is still alive,
- Civil Probate Judge(s) sign off on approval of Conservator gifting contrary to Uniform Trust Code, State Regulatory Agency Acts, State and federal Statutes. This causes the elderly or vulnerable person to lose their assets through fraud even while they are alive and needing their funds.
