The charges are a result of Project $CAMS (Stop Crimes Against Michigan Seniors), an initiative to protect nursing home residents from scams, misappropriated resources and embezzlement.
The suspects are –
•Kevin Mark Crothers of Williamston, accused of embezzling his father's Social Security funds to play Keno, gambling away more than $200,000 of his father's assets
•Alice Faye Wells of Detroit, accused of cashing and pocketing her aunt's Social Security and pension checks over the course of three years
•Tamara Lynne Hoppe of Interlochen, accused of selling a truck belonging to a resident of Kalkaska County Adult Foster Care Facility and pocketing the money
•Kenneth Nicholas Nebor, Jr. of Prudenville, accused of using his elderly father's money to pay for his own expenses, including gas, groceries and phone bills
•Luwillis Gibson, Jr. of Muskegon, accused of diverting and spending the Social Security and pension income of a Muskegon nursing home resident

This good. Step one is arresting them. Those found guilty need to suffer stiff penalties.
If they're arrested but just get a slap on the hand, then that sends a message that Project $cams is just a scam.
Hey Project $cams, I've got a real scam for you.
It's called "G U A R D I A N S H I P.
This sounds like a good thing, but again, it overlooks the professional scammers - bad guardians and their attorneys.
Look at and listen to guardianship / conservatorship victims, Project $cams.
