NFDA needs To Dump “EARL” part of Fed Investigation-YourFuneralguy

17 Jul

Randal L Earl Executive Secretary of the NFDA needs to resign for the sake of Funerals in the United States.

Randal L Earl Executive Secretary of the NFDA needs to resign for the sake of Funerals in the United States.

Why has not the National Funeral Directors Association not dumped Randal L Earl, It’s executive secretary? He is now part of a Federal Investigation, multiple lawsuits, and State of Illinois investigations.

By taking no action against Randal Earl the NFDA is indicating that it does not care about FUNERAL or CEMETERY Scandal.

Randal L Earls role in the Illinois Funeral Direcdtors Association Ponzi Scheme is more than obvious.

Calls for NFDA Secretary To Resign Growing-

NFDA Secretary”Mr. Earl” Should Resign-

In light of the Illinois Funeral Directors Association(IFDA) Ponzi Scheme, The Burr Oak Cemetery. the CEO of the Executive director of the NFDA needs to be called out on this, along with the other members of the NFDA Board!

The Integrity of the Executive Board and the NFDA itself is in Question

The Integrity of the Executive Board and the NFDA itself is in Question

Patrick E. Lynch,Michael R. St. Pierre, William C. Wappner,and others need to move him out. Maybe these folks in roles at the NFDA are there for personal gain and not the good of funerals in the United States.

Info from the State Journal Register on the Fed Investigation:

Federal prosecutors have begun a criminal investigation into a pre-need funeral trust fund that critics, including funeral homes that stand to lose millions of dollars, say operated like a Ponzi scheme.

Revealed Now Federal Investigation of Illinois Preneed Funeral Ponzi-YourFuneralGuy

The US States Attorney In Springfield, Il is investigating the Illinois Funeral Directors Association

The US States Attorney In Springfield, Il is investigating the Illinois Funeral Directors Association

A federal investigation is underway in the Illinois Funeral Directors Association Preneed Ponzi Scheme. Funeral Directors claim that the fund has lost 1oo million dollars since 2001. Some Funeral homes stand to loose millions due to the scheme. The fund is the IFDA Preneed trust and Merrill Lynch (MLBOT)became the Trustee last fall.

Up to now there have been multiple lawsuits in the matter and regulators in the State of Illinois have been investigating. With the Federal Investigation IFDA leaders who took money out of the fund, and misused the folks money should be quite nervous. Those that  lied to the IFDA Membership about the value of their assets should be talking to theirlawyers.

The 40-59 Million loss in 2008, is where the crime occurred before the markets crashed. Using folks funeral money for  the Museum of Funeral Customs and IFDA PERKS  is despicable. Falsifying the value of the fund to the membership is  likely “FRAUD.”

Some Funeral Homes may be forced out of Business entirely. Sadly Funeral prices for the average working stiff have been raised to compensate losses.

The Ponzi part of the scheme had to do with less than normal investments,  key man insurance purchases, perpetuated by Merrill Lynch.

From the State Journal Register in Springfield, Il

The U.S. attorney’s office in Springfield has issued a subpoena to the state comptroller’s office demanding all records relating to the pre-need funeral trust fund once administered by the Illinois Funeral Directors Association. Carol Knowles, spokeswoman for comptroller Dan Hynes, said the comptroller has complied with the subpoena, which was received in late March.

Potential targets aren’t clear from the subpoena.”
