Senior Citizens Seek Justice

What do you do when you've reached what are supposed be your retirement... your golden years...
and you find out you've been ripped off by your own financial advisor?
I suppose you never know until it happens to you.

As money becomes  a more scarse commodity, people who've had theirs stolen really just want it back.
By the time the rip-off is done and discovered, the money is spent.
A criminal judgment doesn't bring the money back.
And a civil  judgment against someone is not a guarantee for payment of that judgement.

The senior citizens in the article I am linking you to chose a difference path to recovering their money.
The four, aged between 61 and 80, kidnapped their financial advisor and held him hostage for four days.
Fascinating read. Just click the link below.
Too bad the good guys lost this round.
