Authorities Warn Of Con Artist Scamming Dementia Patients Out Of Billions Of Dollars
The Bee ^ | June 14, 2024 | Staff

Authorities are warning that a con artist is currently on the loose and scamming elderly dementia patients out of billions of dollars. They are urging anyone who sees the suspect to call law enforcement immediately.

"He's very short, dresses in all green for some reason, and has an accent like some kind of Eastern European henchman from a Guy Ritchie movie," said a spokesperson for law enforcement. "Scumbags like this are always preying on confused, senile people who don't know better. People like this make me sick."

Sources confirmed his most recent scam convinced a very old and disoriented man to sign a 10-year, bilateral security agreement for billions of dollars. Authorities suspect the money will be used to fund illegal activities around the globe, including drug trafficking, arms deals, and expensive cars for some guy named "Volodymyr."

"Yeah, once these jerks get their hands on the life savings of the victims, it gets laundered and immediately used to fund criminal enterprises," the spokesperson said. "If I could only get my hands on this sicko before he steals from someone else..."

At publishing time, the suspect had been spotted in Europe scamming several gullible world leaders.

Man, the Bee has been on fire today.

Between this one and the one about people being worried that the Russian warships off the coast of FL might damage the Pride murals, they are killing me.

Yet, we have scammers in the White House who likely have scammed the best known dementia patient out of his money, and continue to use him to scam all Americans out of their money. They call it, “Bidenomics’, which is robbing all Americans out of their hard-earned money.

You can alter the image size by attaching: height="300" to the image address, not width.

I’m getting better at this... I knew this was from the Bee before I even clicked on the headline.

Width or height work the same. Either will resize the pic.

How about the dementia patient scamming American taxpayers out of $50 billion with the stroke of a pen?

If seen approach with caution, even if he appears to be sleeping.

Last seen saluting the Italian PM and sniffing the Pope.

You can alter the image size by attaching: height="300" to the image address, not width.

You can use height="xxx", width="xxx", or you can use percentages, such as width="50%" which will resize the image automatically to that percentage of the browser window size, and change as the browser window size changes.

But none of them work when you inadvertently put an > after the url and before the size command, like I did in the first post.
