In reply to the discussion: Phoenix mom misses deadline for kids' trust fund [View all]former9thward
(33,424 posts)73. Jarrett Maupin was her primary supporter.
He is a Civil Rights activist here in Phoenix and helped broker the deal which kept her out of jail and helped her raise the funds. He was on the radio today (Thursday) saying all the money is gone. He said it was used on designer jeans, $250 shoes for her kids and recording time for her boyfriend (the kids dad) who aspires to be a rapper. He boyfriend had split but now is back in the picture when the money came rolling in.
Maupin said the County Attorney should throw the book at her. Maupin said he had several job offers that he obtained and she has refused them all. She has no interest in working.
But I am sure you will be a supporter to the bitter end.

I suspect gambling, that is how most such large sums of money is lost so quickly.
