Episode Details

A Scottsdale man has been charged with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a disabled friend over 14 years, using his power of attorney to siphon Medicaid, Social Security, and personal funds. The victim, a man with a traumatic brain injury since 1980, trusted Buot as a best friend — a trust that was exploited as Buot used the victim’s money for himself, creating a devastating rift with the family. After a four-year investigation, Buot now faces criminal charges, including fraud and theft, with a grand jury indictment detailing over $150K in illegal withdrawals between 2008 and 2022. He’s pleaded not guilty and is held on a $500K bond, with trial set for October 26. The victim’s family is focused on his recovery and justice, determined to rebuild what was lost.
