In New Jersey, an Atlantic County Adult Protective Services caseworker has been convicted of helping to steal $125 thousand from an elderly couple. William Price was indicted with five others for allegedly defrauding more than a dozen clients of up to $3.8 million. The caseworker befriended the elderly couple back in 2006 when working for Adult Protective Services. He recruited the couple for his co-conspirators who were ran a scheme that defrauded them of $800,000. Price got $125,000 of the stolen money as part of his cut. Prosecutors are recommending that Price be given a five year sentence, and he will also have to repay the money that he stole.
