Ghost Of Old Soldier Takes Revenge On Politician, And Private Guardian

• americanmafia.com by Steve Miller

This is yet another misleading ad by the billionaire Koch Brothers whose
attacks on Catherine Cortez Masto?s record as Attorney General have
been called false by fact checkers.

On a warm spring day in 2013, I was invited to meet then-93 year old Guadalupe Olvera at his hilltop home in Sun City Anthem overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.

Mr. Olvera was there to list his fully-paid-for 3,000 square foot house with a realtor. The house was his last remaining asset from an exploitative guardianship that would later become the basis of a $1.2 million dollar political advertising battle for the about-to-be vacated U.S. Senate seat of Harry Reid.
 
Olvera explained that he was going to sell the house before his court appointed private guardian Jared E. Shafer could transfer title to himself and sell the property against Olvera's will as Shafer has done for his other "wards" in the past. Or as Mr. Olvera lamented, move in his own family to enjoy the home Olvera and his late wife Carmela had saved a life time for and planned to live in during their twilight years, especially because as Olvera joked, it was a "much better house than his."
