"The victim relied on Ms. Hernandez for help, yet after she befriended him, she allegedly broke his trust and stole his hard-earned money for her personal greed," District Attorney Alvin Bragg said.
"Hernandez instead wrote checks totaling more than $450,000 to two people unknown to the victim, and racked up more than $6,000 on the victim's debit and credit cards on purchases, that included clothing..."
"It's unclear if the recipients of the checks also cashed in on the sick scheme, but Bragg said Hernandez netted more than $350,000 of stolen funds."
"Those who prey on vulnerable older adults will be held accountable," Bragg added, emphasizing the seriousness of the crime and its impact on the elderly.
