if you believe the husband and/or his lawyer, they claim there is no more money left, it was all spent on her care, which actually after 10 years in care wouldn't be surprising

No they are not in trouble for spending donations improperly. The foundation is registered as a corporation, but evidently it should also have been reistered with another state agency if you solicit donations. The foundation paid the $1,000 fine.
This is probably a common error, but the state decided to go after Terri's foundation for the fine. But will not hold Michael and his lawyers accountable for numerous violations of the law.

First off, the lawyer says that there is approximately $60,000 left in her trust fund. Now admittedly that might not go very far, however, when you realize that these trust accounts are not just sitting there not being invested all that time, you're making a poor assumption. One of the guardian ad-litems that was appointed (and subsequently removed for his report) noted that there was roughly $750,000 still in the account in 1998. That's what the account started with. How to explain? It was accruing interest by being invested wisely. Once it hit 1998 and lawyers started hitting into it, the amount in there rapidly decreased. I think that this is another reason why an independent GAL or other counsel for Terri should be appointed.

NO, THIS IS ABSOLUTeLY NOT TRUE.
