Hawaii Elder Fraud Case Explodes | Honolulu News

A 75-year-old Hawaii man, Baron Yamabe, faces 54 charges—including forgery and theft—over a $1.2 million scam involving fake checks allegedly pulled off between June and August. He’s pleading not guilty with $100K bail and a December trial. He’s not alone: a 78-year-old woman, Ursula Ramos, is also wanted. This isn’t their first rodeo—back in August, Yamabe and others were arrested for a similar $1.5 million scheme, hinting at a longer-running operation. Authorities warn more victims may exist and urge anyone suspicious to contact the Attorney General’s Investigations Division at 808-586-1240. The case is heating up—and the courtroom’s about to get a lot more interesting. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
