Description
#066 - At 93 years old, Beverley Schottenstein filed financial abuse charges against two of her grandsons, Evan Schottenstein and Avi Schottenstein, and JP Morgan. A ruling in February 2021, found the two grandsons and JP Morgan liable for abusing their fiduciary duty and making fraudulent misrepresentations. They also found the bank and Evan Schottenstein liable for elder abuse. It ordered JP Morgan and the grandsons to pay Beverley $19 million between them.
In this episode, I interview Cathy Schottenstein Pattap, one of Beverly Schottenstein's granddaughters who took Beverly's concerns seriously and testified on her behalf.
