Court filing claims FLDS trust fiduciary is 'at war'
16 comments | Read story
Whether or not the FLDS lost an old grain elevator is a matter of dispute. Whether Wisan's fees are now in the millions, and that that is going to be paid for by taking food right out of the mouths of FLDS children, is not a matter of dispute.
In this case government actions have defeated their own pretended purpose.
I'd be interested in knowing whether Warren Jeffs and others who previously managed the trust took more out of it than the current trustees. If not, then it would be hard to make a case that Jeffs was using the trust for his own purposes. He would have been charging appropriate management fees.
The FLDS membership used to contribute money to the trust and stopped doing so until it was forced by the trustee to contribute. This took time and there is now a backlog of expenses, which is why property has to be sold. This property can be bought by the FLDS. The only change is that the property will not be a part of the trust.
The beneficiaries were never given a voice EVER, even before 2005.
Warren Jeffs was selling off trust lands belonging to beneficiaries before he went on the run. How do you think YFZ was financed.
Every issue is documented on the UEP Trust website. And had been since Wisan was appointed.
Anyone can see Jeffs confusion of NOT being or ever have been prophet, on youtube, it certainly isnt any secret. When the original trustees failed to appear in 2005, New ones was asked for. People from FLDS certainly were scrambling for the positions.
So, now we have a Thug (willie Jessop) saying he wants to be a trustee, and once again Rod Parker has his hands in FLDS pockets.
Jeffs was on the run in 05.......show up in court and go to jail.
Ex Flds were appointed as advisors to the trust. The deck had been stacked.
Why do you think Jeffs Ran?
Are these dictations the best evidence you have for trust mismanagment? Is that your legal opinion or is that just hype?
FLDS is now defending their assets and should have full legal control over their property.

FLDS members on the board may give the appearance of being fair. The real question is does two seats on a board give the board power to manage the trust.
If the board is a rubber stamp for Wisan or has a majority pro Wisan leaning the FLDS are only token representatives.
At least the FLDS will have an ear in the meetings. Even one FLDS member is better than none but how will FLDS influence anything?
