He allegedly told his prepaid-services clients that if his business closed, their accounts would be transferred to another business, which did not happen after his business closed in April and no refunds were issued, prosecutors said. Acuna also is being investigated for allegedly sending fraudulent bills for funeral assistance to the Colorado Department of Human Services.

They're out there finding every way they can and every angle to take advantage of the vulnerable.
Yes prepaid funeral arrangements are risky.
Illinois had a big problem and that situation involved many, not just one lowlife. In IL, I don't recall any compensation for the victim's estates.
I hope they get this con artist thief and lock him up for 20 years. He caused so much grief on top of grieving for the loss of loved ones.
The problem is immense. The best government can do, other than outright criminal law enforcement, is use hi tech to catch thieves like this.
