Theft In The Family

The Illinois Administrator has filed a complaint alleging that an attorney stole funds from a trust created by his parents for the benefit of his children.

After the complaint describes the establishment and funding of the trust, it is alleged that

 Respondent used the entire proceeds of check numbers 1358487 and 1358485 for his  own personal purposes, largely for personal travel and casino gambling.

The amounts allegedly stolen totalled over $230,000..

The attorney for the mother and children (named John F. Kennedy) made inquiries about the funds, to which the attorney allegedly made false responses. (Mike Frisch)
