Care Home Operator Gets One-Year Prison Term for Exploitation

The Honorable Judge Richard Pollack sentenced an Oahu woman to a one-year prison term for her part in a financial exploitation scam that cost an 84-year old Oahu man more than $200,000.

Nora Bell, 46, of Ewa Beach, ran the “Classic Residential Care Home” on Hookele Street in Waianae. The victim, who suffers from age related dementia, entered the care home in 2004. Over a one-year period beginning in April 2007 and as the victim’s dementia worsened, Bell and an accomplice, Joel Tacras, carried out a scheme to systematically withdraw cash from the victim's bank accounts, and redeem his treasury bonds, all without his knowledge. By July 2008, Bell had taken nearly all of the victim's savings and cashed in his treasury bonds.

Greed is rampant, without boundaries and winning a war over the assets of the unprotected. Choose a side now - the life you save may be your own.

Amazing Finally someone is caught with their hand in the cookie jar For 8 years we couldn't get anyone at the judiciary in Honolulu to seriously pay attention to our probate case regarding our father and the fraud and forgery committed. Only because the two judges Judge Hirai and Judge Chan didn't want to upset the bank of Hawaii apple cart.
