In this bit5 moments
  • Tim gave his 95-year-old grandmother $1,500 a month for 12-13 years because she claimed to have only Social Security.
  • She refused to let him be added to her bank account despite him repeatedly offering to help deposit the money.
  • The neighbor revealed the grandmother wouldn't add Tim to the account because she was afraid he'd stop sending money if he saw how much she had.
  • Checking account held $62,000, savings held $7,000 — the grandmother had been taking Tim's money while sitting on nearly $70,000.
  • Medi-Cal's five-year financial audit means Tim can't touch the money now because it would disqualify her from benefits.
