Reader comments: FLDS members sue trust manager
9 comments | Read story
What if I set up my own trust or a trust for my daughter. I then, being the trustee, take money out of the trust to pay for my daughter's living expenses. Wisan claims I'm mismanaging my own trust, and sues me for all the money I gave my daughter. I'm out of the country, so he wins a default judgment. In order to make good on the judgement, the judge transfers management of my trust to Wisan. Now instead of money going to my daughter, it starts to go to Wisan to pay his exorbitant management fees, and his portion of the initial judgement. Eventually the house my daughter lives in is sold to put cash in the "reformed" trust managed (looted) by Wisan.
How is this scenario any different from a legal standpoint than what happened at the UEP?
That being said, depending on the size of the unknown assets of the FLDS, there may be no way to bring about a positive outcome to these legal problems because if not destroyed by losing the ability to manage its trust, the FLDS may be destroyed by the overwhelming cost of these legal battles.
There are still 200 children with court cases in Texas, there are six or seven men in legal hot water in Texas, Warren Jeffs has an additional court case in Arizona, there are trust lawsuits in Utah, the feds are looking into possible legal issues and the Texas evidence may provide evidence for other illegal activity in other states.
Yeeeeeeeeeee HAaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!
