Guardian Wants Money Returned

Widowed millionaire Shirley Jordan's court-appointed guardian plans to keep trying to return more money to Jordan's trust, he testified at the preliminary hearing for Charles McCullough, who is accused of stealing $200,000 from Jordan.

Attorney John Eidemueller said he had worked for months to prevent thousands of dollars from Jordan's estate from being spent by McCullough and his former law firm, Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott.

Jordan's case had been reviewed in Orphans' Court, but Eidemueller said that after McCullough's criminal hearings he will try to get back more money for Jordan.

McCullough is charged with two dozen counts of theft, conspiracy and filing false reports while co-trustee of Jordan's $14.7 million estate. McCullough and his former firm also tried to charge Jordan $97,000 for fees when Orphans' Court required them to account for their dealings with her estate.

This story reminds me of how cyincal I cam.

I wonder how much atty John Eidemueller has charged Shirley Jordon to pursue the $200K for her.

I wonder how much of the $200K Shirley Jordon will actually have for her benefit.

I wonder if John Eldemueller's motive is revenge -- for himself, not Shirley Jordon.

And, in the end one has to ask: WHO will benefit most, profit from the ward's estate?

This is a nasty fight about who will CONTROL the ward's money. Court is theater filled with actors.
