Some of the most devastating crimes begin with trust. In this episode, we’re joined by Charles "Chip" Wallace, author of The Caregiver's Game, to explore the quiet and often overlooked reality of financial elder abuse.

After the death of his mother, Chip uncovered a trail of suspicious financial decisions, a rewritten will, and a pattern of manipulation that forced him into a years-long investigation. 

We discuss how caregiving can slowly shift into control, why these cases are so difficult to recognize, and how predators exploit both emotional dependence and systemic blind spots before families even realize something is wrong.

Chip shares the warning signs he wishes he had recognized sooner, the painful lessons he learned while fighting for answers, and why so many safeguards fail the very people they are supposed to protect.
