Certainly the spotlight has been heavily upon Sheila Gast and rightfully so. Now, we wait and see what if anything is going to be done about her.
ReplyDeleteAlways remember that Melody Scott (featured in the LA Times Series) is operating business as usual.
I think all of the guardian case files should be audited. Where there is ONE, there are many. Time to clean house and get rid of the dirt post haste.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the FBI raid these courthouses? Boy oh boy are they in for a surprise. We have our own terrorists financial terrorists wearing costumes of people who should be honest instead we have in your face public corruption and it is growing like icky black mold.
ReplyDeleteI hope they keep the heat on Sheila Gast!
ReplyDeleteHeat? You bet. Like a dragon breathing down her back. Let her feel what is like to be vulnerable, just waiting for someone to serve her her summons and criminal complaint. Justice does matter and justice is sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe need to look at who are behind the conservator and guardian?
ReplyDeleteNow we see Sheila Gast not serving her clients in good faith. Who made this happen?
Her attorneys.
Her attorney persuaded judges to appoint hundreds, even thousands of cases to her, without looking at the fact how well she is serving her clients.
How could judges assign so many cases to her? Imaging if she is a good conservator, serving clients with good faith, can she possibly handle so many cases?
What criteria judges use to assign cases to a guardian? Do judges just listen to those attorneys? e.g. Linda Bogut. Majority attorneys serve clients well. But some attorneys are not ethical at all.
How could sheila Gast exloit her clients' financial for so many years without anyone noticing them?
That is all because the court system seems to be corrupted. No one really check into her annual reports she filed.
Does court has way to monitor attorneys? even judges?
Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to get this woman under investigation. I have never worked with a more self centered evil person in my life. How dare she think that she knows what is best for my family members. Now let's see how she likes being told what's best for her and her son.
ReplyDeleteSheila Gast committed many criminal activities. Sheila Gast cannot do such horrible things by herself. All her fraudulent activities were planned by her lawyers, Linda Bogut, Lori Guzman, Mary Jenson …
ReplyDeleteWe believe the authorities should look at Sheila Gast’s lawyer’s activities seriously. Also the authorities should look at the whole picture. All Sheila Gast’s cases should be reviewed. Involved referees and judges should resign from the bench.
Several years ago my best friend suffered a severe brain injury.
ReplyDeleteHer family was devastated by this tragic event. Sheila Gast was appointed her conservator and did absolutely nothing for my dear friend or her family, in fact she made life alot more difficult for them because of her lack of communication and incompetence.
Sheila DOES NOT have her clients or their families in her best interest. She's a FRAUD!
Please read this article. What is going on in Minnesota? Is it possible that referees and judges take Sheila Gast and her lawyers’ momey?

Let's Make Our Judges Accountable
The Truth About Minnesota Judges and Our Courts
For a long time now, Minnesota Citizens have struggled in our courts at the hands of good judges and bad (read corrupt) judges. It is time to get our courts back to institutions that we are proud of and sure that justice will be served. We have included articles here that can help understand our current court system and what we believe is needed to correct the problems that our Citizens continue to experience. You may not think the courts and judges are a problem if you haven't had to be in court. But many Minnesotans have experienced corruption such as: altering of transcripts, judges outright lying on the bench or in their decisions and orders, making decisions from the bench where no law exists to do so, etc.
Did you know that our judges can take $150 a day in tips from lawyers and law firms?! It's true! Read the following article.

This is a great beginning! Other states must criminalize wrongdoing by guardians/conservators and seriously enforce those laws!

I hope Sheila Gast at least feels an ounce of the pain she has inflicted on the innocent vulnerable people who have been imprisoned under her control.

How is it that the probate courts have so much power when in fact they rarely answer to anyone who dares to question their operation?
Through the probate court process, routinely innocent people are stripped of their dignity, stripped of all of their rights, all of their assets and silenced while their guardian / conservator speaks and acts for them.
There is no doubt that the system is like a conveyer belt, turning people into products nationwide to feed the probate club members while the taxpayer is left with the bills.
We need an army of investigators to storm the courthouses, seize the case files and begin to review what I believe is a national scandal hidden in filing cabinets, just waiting for an honest audit and review.
I guarantee there are problems in the majority if not all case files, nationwide going back many years.
Over billing is one of the excuses used when a guardian is playing stupid; when they are discovered to be intentionally fraudulently billing.
QUESTION: How is it that these crooks get away with these crimes for years?
ANSWER: the only place to complain is with those who are in on "it" doing the dirty deeds; those who were present at the scene of the crime at the courthouse with the judge at the bench that approved the fraudulent billing in the first place.

There are too many fraud cases in Hennepin County Probate Court. Please read people’s comments in the following link.
http://www.startribune.com/local/west/39597902.html?elr=KArksUUUU
The court still wouldn’t investigate Sheila Gast and her lawyers’ criminal activities. We believe that referee Richard Wolfson and Bruce Kruger are supporting Sheila Gast and her lawyers’ fraud cases.
