In April, 2018, Dad and I made numerous verbal and written requests to Neila for information about his savings account after she, without Dad's consent, diverted all his mail to her address. She refused to answer us. Dad was very intimidated by her and was reluctant to go over her head, but her uncooperativeness forced the issue.

I contacted the bank at Dad's request, sending a signed form requesting an email address change on his account simply so we would log in and check the balance. That was denied on May 4 due to a power of attorney over the account.

Say WHAT??? 
We were both stunned. Neither of us had the faintest idea that anyone had power of attorney over Dad. Shame on me - I should have known.

Dad was especially upset by this and agreed to make a video documenting his feelings.  Neila would later absurdly claim "we" had forced him to do it. I wouldn't even have a clue how to go about that without having it backfire horribly. And, I detest such behavior, so there's that.

Even after poring over his doings with Neila that year, he could not pinpoint when and where he signed the document. Dad was adamant, though, that he would never, ever, EVER knowingly sign such a thing. No sane person in his shoes would.

Regard in the video how especially quickly, clearly, and confidently Dad answers "No" when asked if he'd sign that PoA. Replay it several times. Take a good long look at the man.

Oh yeah, the video!

Lights...Camera...CHARLIE! 
OK, so, two weeks after learning of the PoA, we made our first vid to document his stance on several matters. View SOME of it HERE. When Neila learned about it, she put the screws to him and he refused to make any more until January 2, 2019, when he resolutely changed his mind and sought to extensively document everything he could while taking action to break Neila's chokehold on his life.

The signature and initials on the power of attorney document produced by Neila look like Dad's, so it seems fair to state he was the actual penman. So, what in the hell happened? All one can do is speculate.

The Facts 
When the PoA was signed, either Dad clearly knew what he was engaging or he didn't. It's just that simple. The simple facts:

- He didn't trust the Flozberks from his first minute as our leader after Mom died.
- He was adamant that he never would have knowingly signed such a document.
- He never told me he had signed such a document. Had he knowingly done so, I'm positive he would have disclosed it to me.

Dad was legally blind from ARMD and glaucoma, so he was wholly dependant on those around him for explanation of any written material. He was competent, free of the dementia that plagues the Flozzie side of the clan, and reliably recalled, in detail, impressive things both recent and far behind us, especially after I detoxed him in August 2017 off the appalling drugging wreaked upon him by Neila and her dirtbag doctor.

It is my opinion that he did not appropriately know what he was engaging AND that there were zero reminders in the following months of what he had engaged. The power of attorney matter was not handled with integrity. Merely hiding from Dad their foreclosure and criminal legal woes was unethical.

Ya want privacy? Great, but don't expect it if you're a sleazy troublemaker taking over the life of an old millionaire you're not even directly related to. That dog don't hunt.

Dad didn't know what to do and Neila was leaning on him hard. For a while, she was able to keep a grip on him by, among other things, intimidating him, hatchet jobbing me, and grossly overstating The Ever-Shabby, Shady Half-Assed Flozberks' indispensability to his well-being. These people know how to play ball...kinda.

It was August 22 before we were given access to the PoA, which was signed January 26. It would seem Neila had PoA over Dad for 99 days before he or I knew about it and 209 days before we actually saw the document.

Gotta Keep it Rollin' 
I was surgically examining The Flozzies and it wasn't a pretty picture. They were massively in debt, several YEARS delinquent on their house loan. How is that even possible?

After years of wild overspending and the decline of their business, they had no savings, skimpy skills and prospects, and a fierce desire to preserve their life in one of the most desirable areas in the city.

Ryan had gotten busted with a 1st degree felony load of heroin, a gun, needles, cash, pills, etc. and was in deep shit, needing big time legal representation.

The foreclosure and arrest(s) were kept secret from Dad. It seemed like the walls were closing in on Neila and Reagan.

Days after we finally saw the PoA, Neila convinced Dad to liquidate his million dollar stock portfolio and put the dough in a savings account under her control, another apparent crony of hers at the bank guarding it for her.

Even though we were both scared shitless, it took Dad three more months and a flurry of awful behavior from Duh Flozflops to wake the bloody hell up and act, so cowed by Neila he was. Twice he even referred to her as Mom - once as "your mother" and once as "Mommy" - even though he damn sure had his marbles and damn sure knew who everyone was.

I made damn sure he understood the significance of that. Neila had damn sure stepped into Mom's role as his controller and intimidator. I damn sure had to break that if it was the last god damn thing I ever done did, for damn sure.

You DAMN Right I Broke It
And break it I done did, helping Dad to finally experience a shred of dignity on what turned out to be the last full day of his lucid life.

Amid that action he was injured by a blow to the head, dying the day before he was to sign a new will providing for a fast, equal split of his assets between his son (me), and Aydin's daughter, (Neila).

I guess that all seems pretty square.

For Their Love 
Oh yeah, speaking of pretty square, a decade before, Neila had dementia-addled Aydin sign power of attorney that specifically stuffed the pockets of each of the 4 members of her slacker household and topped that off with giving her the power to take as much money from Aydin as she wanted for any reason. They started living it up.

Just over 3 years later Neila was ordered to repay Aydin's estate $302,532.07, plus interest, after 3-4 able bodied-people lived off him for a greasily long time. Later, she was indicted for felony misappropriation of his funds, but all the legal action fizzled out after Aydin expired.

It must be a trip to have to keep doing stuff like that to keep a bloated, unearned life afloat. Seems kindasorta stressful, for starters.
