makes sense

my senior in-laws stole family's entire fortune including wiping out of the grandkids college funds

fucking old people these days live off the futures of the youths

Like literally? How did they do it? Are they hiding now or was it some legal scam?

[–] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

lawyers and paperwork

the last relative that controlled everything got sick real quick and on a clear day those two wrangled free from her the entire inheritance

thrown it in all the familys face and yes no one wants anything to do with them anymore
