Guillot asserts that Lisa began to review Desvigne Sr.’s bank records and discovered that Janet Desvigne, Desvigne Sr.’s power of attorney, had given Solomon an additional $17,000.00 before the testator passed away. As a result, Guillot filed a “Motion for Accounting” to determine what happened with said funds. Janet was never officially deposed but informed counsel that the funds were allegedly placed in Janet’s personal bank account; Janet then forwarded a payment of $17,000.00 to Solomon. Guillot doesn’t recall if Janet explained why Solomon asked for the money. To date Solomon has failed to respond to Guillot’s and bar counsel’s inquiry regarding the $17,000.00. Guillot was able to provide this office with a copy of the check Janet wrote out to Solomon on September 16, 2013. The check was made out to “Solomon Law Order” on September 16, 2013 for $17,000.00 At this time it is unclear what account Solomon deposited the money into, this subpoena is for Solomon’s IOLTA bank records, records that pertain to as “Estate of Elmore Charles Desvigne, Sr.,” and any other accounts in Solomon’s name from March 16, 2013 through present day. These records will be evidence of the fact that Solomon mishandled the Desvigne

Internet auction fraud is the use of the internet for an online transaction between a buyer and a seller to use deceptive means to defraud the buyer which includes failure to deliver merchandise, intentionally delivering defective merchandise, or delivering merchandise that was promised or purchased of lesser quality than mentioned. Auction fraud can happen on places such as Ebay, where the potential auction fraud is high. Especially for sellers over-seas. I have even been a victim of auction fraud. If one is not careful and is able to research who they are buying from to confirm they are a legitimate seller, then they are subjecting themselves to fraud. Some of the things, such as Ebay, has in process is a strong investigative team to investigate any cases of fraud reported, though it takes time. Other things in place are disclaimers warning people of fraud and what to do if they find themselves in a fraudulent situation.
