Neighbor stole over $450,000 from veteran with ALS, feds say. ‘As low as it gets’

A gavel cracks down. (Airman 1st Class Aspen Reid/U.S. Air Force)
January 22, 2025 Julia Marnin - The Charlotte Observer
 
A Massachusetts man took “repeated, deliberate steps” to steal from his neighbor — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who was in the hospital — “again and again,” federal prosecutors wrote in court documents filed last week.
 
Joseph Smith, 71, and others stole more than $450,000 in disability benefits from the man between roughly 2015 and 2020, when he was hospitalized with ALS, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.


There’s no cure for ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that affects the nervous system and the ability to control one’s muscles.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

My sentiments. God will judge the thieves, and punish them as He sees fit (far beyond anything any of us could do).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
