Wow. Different but can't help but think of Murdaugh and corruption and how many cronies that we will never know all of were part of things, in power, running the system, etc. that went on for how long...

The kind of thing people always say how could this ever go on or for how long? That's an easy one. I believe the community often knows, nor knows or sees a bit and talk amongst themselves with who they trust or when having beer and saying more BUT good people say nothing against powers that be and if an emploiyee who sees it or a counterpart, well for an employee that's the boss, for a counterpart they may be part of it or turned a blind eye OR they just aren't going top put themselves out there either or say anything. Not my problem kind of attitude.

It doesn't even shock me such goes on, still goes on and/or always has. Murdaugh didn't surprise me and that one has murders on top of it.

Not all, but too many that look for power or positions are not doing it out of a concern for the public. I'm way past my younger years of thinking even so, most still care and are in it for the right reasons. Not these days, not for a long time. On the other hand it's always been that way.

Not saying there aren't some rare good ones. Even if there are they are up against a lot of others. All the wy from township, city level to county level to state to federal.

This is sthe kind of case I won't likely follow too closely. Why bother imo. People don't speak up on many things, they just go oh well, that's how it is, can't do anything about it anyhow. When good "men" do or say nothing...

I am cynical and I've given up on some things Doesn't mean I won't back something up with anyone who really tries to do anything but it isn'[t my fight. Right? We all have the things we won't say anything about or have given up on or it just isn't our horse or our race.

Hey so far no one killed anyone.

They all deserve to go down for life. Won't happen though. It's a "white collar" crime. And hurt SO MANY.

Here's the kicker. The only thing anyone could have had oversight over is the commissary fund. He was submitting 2x yearly reports showing income and very broad category expenses. No one knew what he was up to until the state board of accounts did an in depth audit. And the county officials had their hands tied because what he was submitting was the accepted norm. Let's just say people are looking to tighten up reports regarding sheriff commissary funds statewide.

I can’t believe that in this day and age they had such loose restrictions.

The plot thickens!

I am astounded at all the dirty, rotten activities. How did they have time to do their real jobs? And how did they think they would get away with so many crimes?

Well for instance . . . 26 shipping containers hidden in the open. I kid you not. I've been driving right by them every week or two.

I've went from complete shock to just angry over the past few months.

I wonder if the family started complaining about the trust and that’s what started the ball rolling?

I'd have to look back and see.

The original avalanche was started by our current sheriff shortly after he took office and found wiretaps in the offices of the dept.

(I think the newly elected sheriff saw things didn't add up. )

Indiana State Police revealed Jamey Noel mishandled his brother Leon’s estate and deprived his three heirs of tens of thousands of dollars in early February. Now, the heirs have filed to reopen the estate and award them potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jamey Noel was named as his brother Leon’s executor in a will created on Dec. 1, 2018. Leon Noel died three weeks later. His will directed that all of his estate was to be divided equally among his three children, and directed Jamey to hold part of the estate in trust for two of Leon’s minor children. State police records, and the heirs’ legal filing, indicate no trust accounts were ever created.

Search warrants filed by state investigators in early February showed Noel sold his brother’s house to his daughter Kasey and gifted her $36,000 in equity for her down payment, rather than crediting the full sale to the estate. The heirs said beyond the down payment, the house was significantly undervalued when he sold it to her, further reducing the amount owed to the heirs.

Investigators also found Noel spent $16,000 on repairs to another home, covering half the bill with money from New Chapel Fire and EMS, which he did not reimburse to the estate. Investigators also found Noel paid himself $52,000 from the estate.

The heirs are seeking $68,504 back from Noel, and have asked the judge to assess additional damages for triple the amount based on a finding of fraud. Trial is set for May.

I wanted to show this to you all. I wasn't joking about them hidden in plain sight, right next door to a Family Dollar. A friend and I drove through there going out to lunch yesterday. This was definitely them, they're gone now. Google preserved them for us lol.
