In 2012 my well-off mother, came to stay with me after Hurricane Sandy. She and I uncovered serious financial fraud against her.
We did everything to obtain relief, to expose forgeries, to obtain tens of thousands in Wells Fargo private student loans and more, but to no avail.
The Monmouth County Prosecutors Office was given masses of information to expose the forgeries and fraud but did nothing for reasons known to them.
Next, my mother was dragged, at the age of 91, in front of courts, first in New Jersey, where the fraudsters were squatting in her house. The fraudsters wanted the New Jersey court to declare my mother “incapacitated”. But it’s not precisely illegal to grow old in New Jersey. In New York it is.
In New Jersey, two doctors must agree, in writing, the target of the “Guardianship” is “incapacitated” — a loose word that could mean anything at all, it seems.
These are rigged courts.
While my mother, Marjorie Fister, escaped the clutches of the New Jersey court proceedings, which she never started, she was forced to pay thousands of dollars to appointed court officers, a Win-Win for the petitioners and the Courts Officers, but not for the wrongfully accused, who must prove they are not to be forced to be owned by the court.
In New York, the courts are far more devious and terrifying, since New York Courts are the most corrupt in the country.
My mother next found herself before a New York “Guardianship” court, in a proceeding brought by the same squatters/fraudsters, who had brought the New Jersey proceedings and failed.
They were permitted to “Forum Shop” until they were guaranteed a judge who would cater to their demands.
The New York Manhattan Supreme Court judge sidestepped all the procedural defects in the New York Manhattan Supreme Court proceedings, including the fact that the Petitioner lied in court documents that the proceeding had not been attempted anywhere else.
Further, the Petitioner had no relationship to New York, being a citizen of New Jersey, and a convicted felon who spent years in Danbury Federal Prison for gun and drug smuggling.
Still, the New York judge took the side of the Petitioner against the accused elderly, my mother, Marjorie Fister, because this is all about giving free cash to the Officers of the Court from the property of the accused, who will be found “Incapacitated” based upon the judge’s say-so.
My mother was forced out of my home in Manhattan, and put into “Ownership” by the Manhattan Supreme Court, who forced my mother into a filthy and terrifying facility in the Bronx, New York.
Technically, my mother was no longer under the “jurisdiction” of Manhattan Supreme Court, since she was now forced to live in the Bronx, New York. The Bronx Supreme Court would have had jurisdiction but that would have been removing the ‘Cash $$$’ from the Manhattan Supreme Court Officers, on the dole in these harrowing proceedings.
Next, the named “Officer of the Court” Paul Mederos, would place my mother, a woman of means, on Medicaid.
Medicaid. In New York, to be eligible for Medicaid, one must be a New York resident, a U.S. citizen or meet certain immigration status requirements, and meet specific income and asset limits. Additionally, certain categories of people, such as pregnant women, children, and adults under 65, may have different income limits.
My mother never had the intent to remain in New York. She was only in my home because we were trying to secure her rights in her home state, the State of New Jersey.
She certainly would not have been eligible for Medicaid. She had substantial assets in the State of New Jersey. Yet, Manhattan Supreme Court would liquidate those assets to line the pockets of the Officers of the Court, Paul Mederos and his cronies. It’s a fully rigged system and terrifying in every way imaginable.
My mother had fantastic Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield, given to my father by an act of Congress for his work in the Pentagon. She had property but all of it would be taken by Mederos and the judge in the New York Court system. Again, not to pay for her “upkeep” but to unjustly enrich the Officers of the Court, such as Mederos and others.
Mederos would file tax returns and I was told that his intent appeared to be, upon information and belief, to obtain tax refunds in these vast schemes of fraud that the Courts of New York sanction against the people within their borders.
New York is one scary state. Beware.
MEDICAID — many of the Big Law law firms in New York have huge Trust and Estates Departments. Those Trust and Estates lawyers have Harvard and Yale law credentials and thus, lots of clout. They are involved in pursuing these “Guardianship” matters since they can drain assets into wherever it suits them to have money go, and put the so-called “Incapacitated” person on Medicaid.
As is to be seen in the letter to Mederos, in regard to my mother, Marjorie Fister, put hundreds of thousands of dollars of Medicaid against my mother, even though he was aware she had no such need.
This is the abuse of Medicaid that we see across the United States, with New York being one of the biggest players in Medicaid fraud.
New York Courts are happy to participate in Medicaid fraud, and that’s the real issue.
If a Court itself is pursuing criminal goals in order to justify its fraud, and to obtain Medicaid as part of the cover-up so that the appearance of legitimacy is “Achieved” then we don’t have a Democracy and we don’t have the protection of the law and the Constitution on the side of the average and unsuspecting citizen.
Medicaid is important. It should be used for those who truly qualify, not my mother and people like my mother, who have assets that are taken to enrich the “Officers of the Court” as to be seen here with Mederos. The fact that Steven Banks, who ran the Department of Homeless Services, did not seem to stop this kind of illegal Medicaid fraud, is a concern, as he is now being lauded by the New York Times as a “Top Pro Bono Leader” at Paul Weiss.
How does Steven Banks define “helping the homeless”? When I notified him of the Medicaid Fraud against my mother by Paul Mederos, he shrugged.
Top Pro Bono Leader Resigns from Paul Weiss, a Firm Hit in Trump’s Crackdown on Big Law
Steven Banks, who once ran New York’s social services department, said he wanted to return to helping the homeless. He leaves within weeks of the elite firm striking a deal with President Trump.
Meanwhile, Medicaid is being looked at in the Federal Government, which is a concern, as many people qualify and need such help.
But not my mother. Why those Bad Actors in New York are allowed to steal from the unsuspecting public, and thus use Medicaid to cover up their own financial gains, is beyond comprehension. Further, it takes Medicaid away from Americans who really have a need for Medicaid.
Federal and state governments share the costs of Medicaid, a public health insurance program largely for low-income people that covers more than 70 million people. In rural areas, where incomes tend to be lower and people are uninsured at higher rates, hospitals often face higher levels of uncompensated care, meaning people are not able to pay their hospital bills.
Medicaid payments can provide a financial buffer that helps struggling rural hospitals address that gap. Mr. Moran, the Kansas senator, said in his speech on the floor that the average operating margin for a hospital in his state was negative 7 percent, and that eight Kansas hospitals had closed in the past 10 years.
“My goal is making sure that rural communities have a future,” Mr. Moran said. “But that future disappears in the absence of having access to health care.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/us/politics/medicaid-republicans-trump.html
If Courts sanction illegal Medicaid, what can the public do to demand this be stopped?
It appears We the People have no rights in this, as my mother’s and others cases clearly indicate.
This is based upon my own opinion and upon information and belief.
This is in the Public Interest. New York Courts are beyond corrupt.
Medicaid Fraud is part of that court corruption.
