On April 10, 2014, private “guardians” Jared Shafer, his former employee Patience Bristol, Shafer’s business Professional Fiduciary Services of Nevada (PFSN Inc.), PFSN office manager Amy Deittrick, Deittrick’s AVID BUSINESS SERVICES, their attorneys Mark Solomon, Dana Dwiggins, Alan Freer, and Robert Simpson, and CPAs Bruce Gamett and Shawn King filed a civil libel lawsuit against Charles Pascal who has been blind since birth.
Plaintiff Patience Bristol is now serving 3 - 8 years in Nevada State Prison for ripping off Shafer’s elderly wards. Plaintiffs Gamett, King and Shafer in 2009 were Defendants accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of participating in a “Ponzi Scheme” that “fraudulently offered and sold approximately $180 million in unregistered notes to more than 800 investors, many of whom were senior citizens.” After being named as Defendants, Shafer, Gamet, and King agreed to return a portion of their commissions in order to escape prosecution.
Shafer, PFSN Inc., Bristol, Deittrick, and AVID BUSINESS SERVICES, are defendants in another civil lawsuit filed on May 1, 2014, by one of PFSN’s former wards who claims she was robbed of over $450,000.00 while she was under PFSN’s control.
Despite Shafer, Bristol, Gamett, and King’s own brushes with the law, they proclaim that their professional reputations have been damaged by Pascal and others who allegedly wrote derogatory Internet articles about them and their involvement in court appointed Nevada guardianships.

Put them away!
ReplyDeleteThe defendant needs to demand attorney's fees for the trouble of defending against this frivolous lawsuit, and countersue for actual and punitive damages. Also, demand a jury trial.
ReplyDeleteTo put this in perspective, a little over a year ago, the common wisdom among Virginia "protective" "services" agencies was that Scott Schuett could remain open, and that he would sue his critics for defamation, too.
Still waiting ....
How pitiful is this duo?
ReplyDeleteWhat? I hope the defendant of this bogus civil action counter sues and puts all of those who engaged in schemes out of business. The nerve professional reputations making a deal with the feds so they avoid being charged and prosecuted?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the facts speak volumes of UNETHICAL misconduct, oh lets not forget PONZI SCHEME
"U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of participating in a “Ponzi Scheme”......."
I am so steaming the arrogance of people who see themselves as privileged and elite above the little people.

Looks like they're trying to deflect the heat from them. I hope it's costing Shafer and buddies a boatload of money to do so.
ReplyDeleteI think your suggestion is a good one, Anonymous.
It is not "Slander" if they are telling the truth. The scum have no "reputation" left to loose.
