Private "guardians" Jared E. Shafer and Patience Bristol sue blind man for libel

LAS VEGAS - On April 10, 2014, private "guardians" Jared Shafer, his former employee Patience Bristol, Shafer's business Professional Fiduciary Services of Nevada (PFSN Inc.), PFSN office manager Amy Deittrick, Deittrick’s AVID BUSINESS SERVICES, their attorneys Mark Solomon, Dana Dwiggins, Alan Freer, and Robert Simpson, and CPAs Bruce Gamett and Shawn King filed a civil libel lawsuit against Charles Pascal who has been blind since birth.

Plaintiff Patience Bristol is now serving 3 - 8 years in Nevada State Prison for ripping off Shafer's elderly wards. Plaintiffs Gamett, King and Shafer in 2009 were Defendants accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of participating in a "Ponzi Scheme" that "fraudulently offered and sold approximately $180 million in unregistered notes to more than 800 investors, many of whom were senior citizens." After being named as Defendants, Shafer, Gamet, and King agreed to return a portion of their commissions in order to escape prosecution. Shafer, PFSN Inc., Bristol, Deittrick, and AVID BUSINESS SERVICES, are defendants in another civil lawsuit filed on May 1, 2014, by one of PFSN's former wards who claims she was robbed of over $450,000.00 while she was under PFSN's control. Despite Shafer, Bristol, Gamett, and King's own brushes with the law, they proclaim that their professional reputations have been damaged by Pascal and others who allegedly wrote derogatory Internet articles about them and their involvement in court appointed Nevada guardianships. (INSIDE VEGAS is aware of the names of four individuals, not including Pascal, who admit to authoring critical RipOff Reports about Jared Shafer, Patience Bristol, and Clark County Guardianship Commissioner Jon Norheim. The identity of these individuals is protected under the Nevada Reporter's Shield Law.) More...
