What started out as a personal website to expose the victimization of the Daniel J. Bennett Family by the New York and Florida ‘Guardianship Mafia‘, has within the first two weeks of launching quickly spread throughout the world. Hundreds of people, including other victimized families, investigative authorities, governors, civil rights lawyers, law school professors, and the media have expressed interest in helping stop the crimes.
OPERATION GOLDEN GAVEL is now a NATIONWIDE investigation and prosecution of public corruption and racketeering by judges, lawyers, law enforcement officers, government agency personnel, and others who commit fraud upon the court and use the court system as their modus operandi to commit crimes against children and adults through fraudulent guardianship cases.
Most adult guardianship and conservatorship cases in the US are fraudulent – not by happenstance, but deliberately. Citizens who are and who are not incapacitated are being deprived their Constitutionally protected right to due process and labeled “incapacitated” for the purpose of stealing their assets by unlawfully subjecting them to fraudulent guardianship or conservatorship cases.
They site the RICO Act which is Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. This was initially enacted to prosecute the Mafia and now is being used to prosecute members of this guardianship racket. What they're doing to the elderly and disabled is organized crime.
"Today, RICO is almost never applied to the Mafia. Instead, it is applied to individuals, businesses, political protest groups, and terrorist organizations. In short, a RICO claim can arise in almost any context."
When a civil RICO lawsuit is filed against an individual, not only must that individual hire a lawyer to represent them and pay those legal fees, but when they lose, they are automatically required to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff, as well as treble damages and possibly punitive damages, and prison, as well.
They also confiscate their assets because they don't belong to them. They belong to the poor souls forced under guardianship.
They had a link to submit your cases but it's down right now. I'll update this post later.

Inheritance Hijackers
Inheritance theft is a widespread but hidden phenomenon afflicting every level of society. During the next twenty years, baby boomers and their children will inherit an estimated one hundred trillion dollars, much of which will be hijacked by family members, associates, or strangers. Everyone who might give or receive an inheritance is a potential victim.

Janna Dutton - Is She Crooked?
A lot of you are telling me that you wouldn’t even consider hiring her firm because you’re afraid that she’s going to introduce Josh Mitzen (private paid guardian at $100 an hour for his professional services) into your life then you’d lose custody of your loved one. Because of these comments, I want to clear this up in regard to what happened to me.
First of all, when Ludwig hired Janna, she was a good advocate for him. I didn’t know this at the time (because I was only doing what Ludwig asked) but she was a good advocate for me as well since I was his Power of Attorney over healthcare. I never thought of her as supportive to me but in retrospect, she was.
"Snipped" (September 2008), she became a very poor advocate for her client because Josh is self-serving and wasn’t concerned about Ludwig at all. But she became a good advocate for Josh who neglected Ludwig.
My problem with Janna is that she set Ludwig up with a Living Trust which is another word for “Predatory Trust.” Snipped and the day after Ludwig transferred his money to Devon Bank, Sally Griffin (bank trustee) told me she can’t figure out whether or not she wants to keep me on since she hired Josh for my position (and I didn't know she meant as his Power of Attorney over healthcare at the time). She also couldn't figure out how to give Ludwig his own money.
Snipped.
I wrote Janna exactly that. (I have the letter. I also know she read it because Sally mentioned it when she told us that Devon Bank has ATM cards and she’s giving Ludwig one. Believe me, Janna had something to do with her little epiphany.) So,Snipped BUT she told them to knock it off.
Why didn’t she help them steal Ludwig’s estate from the get go if she’s so crooked? Was it too soon? Would it look like funny business was going on if she assigned her friends too quickly?
Do you want to know what I think Janna's problem is? She can’t remember her clients. If she’s not crooked, then she has a very poor memory so they (trustees at Devon Bank) laid low for a few months, thought up a lie to tell her (in order to get Josh assigned) and Janna fell for it hook, line and sinker. Ludwig’s entire estate and life went to hell in a hand basket overnight. (I found out this is common practice at Devon Bank. They have a three month thing with their clients, probably write it on their calendars. Ludwig opened his trust in June, three months later, they assigned Josh Mitzen. Same thing after they threw me out. Three months later, Snipped. I've also noticed this in some of their other clients. After setting up a trust account, snipped).
Which is my second problem with Janna. She doesn’t investigate anything on her own. She doesn’t check facts or rely on her own common sense. I also told her (before I moved) that Devon Bank would throw out Ludwig’s entire estate and the extraordinary measures I took to help her keep track of it. (Lucky for her, she has me to inventory it.) But I’m telling her (the entire time) that she’s surrounding Ludwig with professional gold diggers and yet she did nothing about it other than make sure he was he was really secure in their clutches. She was NOT his advocate. Far from it.
In other words, the will Ludwig wrote means that he bequeathed his entire life savings and all his personal possessions to the two trustees at Devon Bank. Janna Dutton set it up for him that way and did nothing to protect her client. She made her friends wealthy.
That said, if you hired Janna to set up a power of attorney (or guardian), she’s not going to invite Josh Mitzen into your life. Why would she? He’s an attorney that took the public guardian quiz. That’s how he makes a living and inviting him into your life would be a conflict of interests. He's an interloper. In my opinion, he can't establish his own loving relationships so he steals yours.
But this is what has me so confused about Janna Dutton’s credibility. She set up a Predatory Trust (January 2008), she knew the vultures were circling (June of 2008), forced Ludwig into public guardianship (September 2008), knew they were squandering his estate (and I can't tell you how many times I mentioned this to her but it was constant) THEN in February 2009, she looked me dead in the eye and told me that she doesn't know what's going on. She only knows what Sally Griffin and Josh Mitzen tell her (and basically tells me that she does as she's told). But this is not true because I told her myself (I can prove it). Does she have a poor memory or is she also self-serving? My conclusion? Does it make a difference? Just ask yourself if you want her to set up your future and have her looking after you. THAT is what you should concern yourself with in regard to hiring this attorney, not whether or not she's going to introduce Josh Mitzen. (This is what I thought several months ago when I wrote it. Janna DOES invite Josh into the lives of her clients when she knows it's a conflict of interests because he makes her money. She can churn the bill because he causes chaos and animosity among family members and everyone else. So, if you hire this law firm, put several zeroes behind the amount she quotes you.)
Make sure that NO ATTORNEY sets you up with a living (or predatory) trust. That’s Rick Block’s dream come true and I’m sure he’s not the only trustee that gets off on one.

A Growing Trend in Medicine - Rockford
http://www.wifr.com/news/headlines/A_Growing_Trend_in_Medicine_112579604.html
Northwestern Hospital threatened to revoke this poor woman's Power of Attorney if she wouldn't discharge her sick mother and take her home. The hospital refused to treat her. My opinion, not the hospitals. She fought it in court but ended up taking her home.
God bless Janet Bedin for being diligent and even though she couldn't win in court, she's winning in the court of public opinion.

Devon Bank Complaint Department
Naturally, I’ve become the complaint department for this bank and I knew I would. A few weeks ago, I got five complaints in two days. Countless more since July.
I explained all your problems and turned it over to the ProbateSharks.com Investigative Team. You can also ask for their help here - verenusl@gmail.com. Lucius Verenus. (Lucius means "light" and is no relation to Lucifer. I just looked up it's meaning because the guy intimidates me a little.) They pulled through the other day with a list of organizations (and have numerous other resources on their site).
How do you report banks or financial institutions?
The first thing you should do is call the main office of Devon Bank, the head branch. I tried to get someone involved at the top and nothing happened but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the effort. You don’t have to go through the great lengths I did, just make one call. Keep a record of your email, phone conversation, all the people you spoke with and what was said, dates, times, etc. Regardless of the outcome, it’s a good faith gesture on your part and shows that you’re trying to resolve the problem before you report them. Obviously, if you’re writing me then you’ve been unsuccessful or simply don’t know where to turn.
ProbateSharks suggests you contact the Better Business Bureau but when I looked up Devon Bank, it says they’re not accredited. In order to be endorsed by the BBB, you have to ask and when you do, you’re making a promise that you’ll solve consumer complaints and live up to their standards (which are quite high). This is Devon Bank’s page:
http://www.bbb.org/chicago/business-reviews/banks/devon-bank-in-chicago-il-283
Then follow the rest of the links on their site:
http://probateshark.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-report-unethical-banks-and.html
File a complaint with the IL Department of Professional Regulations, the Federal Reserve (and I don’t think Devon Bank is under their jurisdiction but you should consider filing a complaint anyway since their site is so user friendly), the FDIC and the Attorney General’s office consumers' complaint division. Most of these web sites have online forms but if you have to mail it, make sure you keep the originals and send copies registered mail. They don't want personal information either. Like your social security, credit card or bank account numbers.
There is also a website that you can check your banks rating. They call it the “Texas Ratio” and this is the description:
To calculate the Texas Ratio, you divide a bank's bad debt on the books by the amount of money it has to absorb the bad debt. If the number approaches 100% (or higher), the Texas Ratio suggests that the bank is more likely to fail.
You can look up any bank on this website:
http://www.bankrate.com/rates/safe-sound/bank-ratings-search.aspx?t=cb
Devon Bank’s rating is here:
http://www.bankrate.com/rates/safe-sound/memorandums-memos.aspx?fedid=347639
In fairness, I checked my bank with both the Better Business Bureau and Texas Ratio. My bank is accredited and its score is perfect on both sites. Banks are FDIC insured too so I'm not completely sure why the ratio is important other than measuring desperation?
I would appreciate it if you would still notify me in regard to the problems that you’re having with Devon Bank and I hope you find this information helpful.
