Roland Burris has been cleared in perjury charges related to a Govenor Blagojevich impeachment hearing. Questions about his role in the Illinois Funeral Mess(IFDA) have not been answered. Charges before the US Senate Ethics committee remain.

Impeachment Committe. Roland Burris  has not been cleared of his involvement  in the Illinois Funeral  Funeral Mess  and the Illinois funeral directors association(IFDA) Charges also remain before the US Senate Ethics Committee.

From the Dow Jones Newswires.

A county prosecutor in Illinois said Friday he won’t bring perjury charges against U.S. Sen. Roland Burris, the Democrat appointed to fill the Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama….State’s Attorney John Schmidt said Burris won’t be charged in connection with allegations he misled a panel of Illinois legislature about the circumstances behind his appointment. Burris’s answers to the committee considering the impeachment of former governor Rod Blagojevich were “incomplete, ” but they didn’t rise to the level of a crime, Schmidt said.

The lesson here for the consumer is not to choose a Funeral Director who has close ties to powerful politician like Illinois Senator Roland Burris.



“Government Leaders” to Talk in Illinois Funeral Scam.-yourfuneralguy

Illinois Senator Roland Burris(on right) and Government Regulators will give information in a Funeral Scandal Lawsuit

Depositions are in” in the Calvert  Six Funeral Director Lawsuit against the IFDA. The matter of the lawsuit against the Illinois Funeral Directors “misuse” or theft of  almost 60 Million Dollars will soon be before a Court of Law.

According to the law firm for Calvert Funeral Homes and the other Funeral Directors bringing suit against the

“IFDA:

Wexler Wallace filed Plaintiffs’ Derivative Complaint on January 28, 2009.  Defendants’ continue to deny responsibility and their responses to the Derivative Complaint are due on April 29, 2009.

Wexler Wallace has issued numerous third-party subpoenas, including a subpoena to U.S. Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) seeking documents relating to the Senator’s issuance of IFDA’s trustee license when he was Comptroller and the Senator’s lobbying activities on behalf of IFDA after he became aware of the Preneed Trust’s deficit.  Wexler Wallace has also issued subpoenas to the Illinois Office of the Comptroller and the Illinois Banking Division of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which are the Illinois governmental agencies charged with overseeing the Preneed Trust.  Wexler Wallace has also subpoenaed the accounting firms that audited the Preneed Trust and other entities that are believed to have information relevant to the lawsuit”

So what does this mean for the IFDA and the Regulators in the State of Illinois? It means that these government leaders who were responsible for Regulation of the IFDA preneed Trust will have to explain themselves and give up  information.

Specifically: United States Senator from ” ILLINOIS”  Senator Roland Burris

State of Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes.

Officers of the Banking Division of the Illinois Department of Regulation.

Accounting firms and other entities that have audited the  IFDA Preneed Trust.

It is  my contention that both sides area at fault in this situation for failure to do Due Diligence. Check it out

Now Funeral Fund Government Task Force Investigation-YourFuneralGuy

23 Apr

A cartoon from the State Journal Register Shows a prophecy on the Illinois Funeral Directors Association’s Death due to unanswered questions. That death has been predicted elsewhere. Guess Who?

The IFDA. Wonder what will be the the cause of Death on The IFDA’s Death Certificate? Is a Funeral Fund  Government Task Force Investigation going to make a  difference?

Does this mean the IFDA has had a funeral and a burial. Is Roland Burris's Political Burial Next.

Does this mean the IFDA has had a funeral and a burial. Is Roland Burris's Political Burial Next?

The Illinois Funeral Directors Association Historic Preneed Fund Ponzi scheme ultimatetly will cost Funeral Directors and funeral purchasers money. Every time the administrators of a Funeral Preneed fund misappropiate money someone has to pay!

It does appear that Roland Burris has not paid his price for Lobbying for this scam. The Illinois legislature has set up  a government task  force to investigate the Funeral Fund Ponzi Scheme. This acccording  to a  SJR article entitled:

The Illinois House has set up Task Force to Investigate the  HISTORIC ILLINOIS FUNERAL DIRECTORS TRUST FUND SCANDAL

The Illinois House has set up Task Force to Investigate the HISTORIC ILLINOIS FUNERAL DIRECTORS TRUST FUND SCANDAL

Snippet from the  Springfield,IL State Journal Register Article.

“The Illinois House Wednesday agreed to set up a task force to investigate a troubled pre-need funeral trust fund and to recommend improvements in how the state regulates the pre-need funeral industry…….A report is due from the panel. by year’s end.”

The situation now is causing thousands of questions to be asked. The Britt Cartoon from the State Journal Register is almost prophetic showing a grave with the Tombstone Inscribed “IFDA UNANSWERED QUESTIONS RIP”

Here are some unanswered Questions:

What happens with this mess till years end?

Is Every one  at the IFDA under a gag order?

How is the IFDA TRUST being funded under Merrill Lynch?

Where are the promised new Merrill Lynch funding vehicles?

Why is not the current IFDA President James Bosma NOT speaking?

Why is the current NFDA(national funeral directors association) Secretary Randall L Earl, a National Funeral leader a key player in this mess not

May the Illinois Funeral Directors Association Rest in Peace

mentioned?

How can Funeral Director Charles S.Childs Jr continue as a REGULATOR for the STATE OF ILLINOIS when he is at the heart of the IFDA Ponzi Scam?

It seems to me that the only ones who know for sure what is going on at the IFDA are State Regulators.

Hopefully the Illinois  House Task Force will be aggressive in their investigation.

Governor Quinn ask Ex IFDA Pres.Charles Childs to Resign-yourfuneralguy

19 Apr
The State of Illinois has had an historic Funeral Director Scandal. Charles Childs Jr, of AA Raynor&Sons has played an imporant role in the Scandal. He also regulates funeral director licences and should not be doing that. Folks are calling on him to resign.

The State of Illinois has had an historic Funeral Director Scandal. Charles Childs Jr, of AA Raynor&Sons has played an imporant role in the Scandal. He also regulates funeral director licences in Illinois. He should not be doing that. Folks are calling on him to resign.

For the  integrity of the Funeral Industry in the State of Illinois please ask Charles S. Childs to resign. Childs should resign because of his inept management of the IFDA Preneed Trust. He should not be regulating funeral director licenses in the State of Illinois. This has been a conflict of interest for a long time.

Childs IFDA President was involved in the transfer of 2 million in management fees from the IFDA Preneed Trust in 2007.

“According to an IFDA-commissioned audit, the foundation that ran the museum received at least $250,000 annually in 2006 and 2007 from the association, which got more than $2 million each of those years from management fees generated by the trust fund.” Charles Childs, Jr.  resign because he was the Ifda president in 2007 and a good part ofthe scandalhappened on his watch.

WHAT HAPPENED TO TWO MILLION DOLLARS WHEN HE WAS IFDA PRESIDENT????

Child’s  a state official he is under investigation for preneed fraud in the IFDA Preneed Trust Ponzi Scam.  He is named in three lawsuits against the IFDA,(The Class Action Complaint, The Six Funeral Directors lawsuit against the IFDA, here, and the IFDA insurers lawsuit

State of Illinois Governor Quinn, Comptroller Hynes, Michael T. McRaith , Acting Secretary of IDFPR, I am sure you will ask Charles S. Childs Jr to resign.

Just read marsellusm710′s comments from my last blog post.

“I sure wish the IL Dept of Finance and Professional Regulation had the testicular fortitude to start asking questions of the defendants named in this Lawsuit. (Ethics and such) Oh, wait a minute…I don’t think that will begin to happen just yet…I think that there is a POSSIBLE CONFLICT that a Mr. Charles Childs, Jr. who sits on and IS (YES!, I have confirmed via IDFPR website), THEE Chairman of the Funeral Directors and Embalmers Licensing and Disciplinary Board through the IDFPR.

Here is another resignation that should be asked for!!! Illinois folks call your State Representatives and Senators.  Don’t think for one minute that the potential “Race Card” couldn’t be played here.  Mr. Childs is of African American decent, and well connected in “The community”, in Chicago both politically and socially. Appointment to the IDFPR FD/EMB Disciplinary Bd. is by political appointment usually by the Governor. (Blago???)

Many say this is the attitude the Illinois Funeral Directors Association took towards the Funeral funds of the folks in Illinois.

Many say this is the attitude the Illinois Funeral Directors Association took towards the Funeral funds of the folks in Illinois.

Trust me, there are A.A. firms injured by the Trust.”

Charles Childs Jr. IFDA Pres.2006-2007 Charles S Childs, display more integrity than Senator Burris and Resign.

Check out my previous article on this subject here.

Charles S Childs Jr is a public figure because he was mentioned in the press in the original SJR article in February 2008, named in three IFDA lawsuits, an exIFDA president, and a regulator for the State of Illinois.

If someone needs to verify Mr.Childs position as a regulator during the height of the ifda ponzi scheme through today, check this out.
