FOX 2 - A sitting judge and Detroit area attorney were among four suspects charged in an embezzling scheme victimizing incapacitated individuals' estates.

Dig deeper: The US Attorney's Office said Nancy Williams, 59, Avery Bradley, 72, Judge Andrea Bradley-Baskin, 46, and Dwight Rashad, 69, were charged via indictment with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The indictment also charges Bradley with one count of wire fraud, Bradley, Bradley-Baskin, and Rashad with several counts of money laundering, and Bradley-Baskin with a single count of making a false statement to federal law enforcement agent.

Bradley-Baskin is a district judge on Michigan’s 36th District Court.

"We respect the authority that covers a black robe. This state judge and her cronies allegedly abused that high honor for personal gain by preying on the needy protected by the court. This would be a grievous abuse of our public trust," said U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon.

Allegations against the group, all Detroit residents, is they conspired to embezzle funds in the hundreds of thousands of dollars from wards for themselves from the wards and their estates.

AVERT thine eyes Yogi>>>>>>>>>

Judge Bradley-Baskin is alleged to have used $70,000 in stolen funds to purchase an ownership stake in a local bar.

In another, Bradley, Williams, and Rashad are alleged to have taken for themselves some $203,000 in funds from a ward’s legal settlement, with none of the money being used to benefit the ward.

I’d rather be a “sucker” than in jail for tax evasion or breaking some other rule (i.e., law).

“In another, Bradley, Williams, and Rashad are alleged to have taken for themselves some $203,000 in funds from a ward’s legal settlement, with none of the money being used to benefit the ward.

Williams is alleged to have paid Rashad rent for wards who did not live in one of Rashad’s homes.

Bradley-Baskin, in yet another case, is alleged to have used money embezzled from the estate of a ward to pay a two-year lease on a new Ford Expedition for herself.”


Which reminds me, don’t forget tax season is coming up. Don’t forget to start gathering all your needed documents. Your government needs your money to support roads and infrastructure! You DO want to have roads and infrastructure, don’t you? Pay your fair share!

Let’s just say that we have a serious corruption problem, brought about and owing to a near complete lack of accountability. This is what happens when ethical and legal standards are “relaxed” in society.

She ain’t dumb. She’s evil. And arrogant.

She thought she wouldn’t get caught.

For a demonicRAT, that’s a reasonable thing to think.

It just happened to be wrong ...

It seems in an effort by democrats to have “the first” of something they installed a bunch of criminal scammers.

Go figure.
