Story of what is wrong with the system ... Greed
Bank appointed as disabled man's conservator fought him, then billed him

David Olinger
The Denver Post

For 10 weeks, Matthew Keenan lay in a coma, the victim of a hospital error that plunged him into respiratory arrest and cut off oxygen to his brain. A judge appointed his mother to serve as guardian and conservator for her comatose 37-year-old son. Twice, his father called a priest to perform last rites. Then he awoke.

<snip>

The bank chosen to manage his money jumped into the case, allying itself with his guardian. Both billed him for the time they spent challenging him in court.

<snip>

The question of his mental capacity "was not close at all," she said.

Yet "instead of helping him, transitioning him away from needing a guardian, these people went into attack mode — and fought him with his own money. Nowhere else in law can that happen," she said.

2. This is absolutely insane
how judges are siding with the bank. How, in this universe or any other, could the bank's actions not be considered a conflict of interest??
