Speculation On Why Jared Shafer

Has Not Yet Been Indicted

“Adam Woodrum, an estate lawyer in Las Vegas,
(worked with) several wards and their families
who have brought their complaints to the police.
‘They can’t even get their foot in the door,’ he said.”
The New Yorker Magazine, Oct. 9, 2017

“Only federal intervention is going
to give us peace of mind.”

LAS VEGAS – His name sends chills up and down the spines of hundreds of exploited senior citizens, disabled people, and their families.  I’m often asked why private professional guardian, Jared E. Shafer, is still at large after his criminal activities have been exposed time and again on local and national media, and he’s been the subject of over four years of criminal investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Abuse and Neglect Detail.

The New Yorker Magazine, ABC affiliate KTNV TV Channel 13 News, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal have all done stories on Shafer’s exploits. “How the Elderly Lose Their Rights.”  “Fraud and embezzlement alleged in guardianship lawsuit.” “Clark County’s private guardians may protect, or just steal and abuse,” are just some of the damning headlines about Shafer, but he remains unscathed.  Why?  I believe I have an answer.

In 1979, then Clark County Commission chairman, Manny Cortez, was approached by his longtime friend, Jared Shafer, who was out of work.  Shafer had resigned as president of Rom-Amer Pharmaceuticals, LTD, a publically traded company that had its anti-aging product banned by the FDA, a dangerous cure all product called Gerovital H3 that was peddled to senior citizens and caused several deaths.  The SEC on March 25, 1977 announced “TRADING SUSPENDED IN ROM-AMER PHARMACEUTICALS, LTD.”

Shafer and Cortez’ friendship went back a long way, all the way to the 1964 birth of Cortez’ daughter, Catherine, who was honored by having Jared Shafer named as her godfather.  But years later, in his time of need, Commissioner Cortez found the perfect job for his unemployed pal based on Shafer’s quasi-experience with senior citizens. Cortez appointed Shafer as Clark County’s third Public Administrator and Public Guardian (the first two were removed for corruption.) More
