• 1:45

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: from Union Market in Northeast DC. Police say he remained
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in the nursing home during that time.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Really, Erica, your ninety five year old grandfather. If your
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: grandfather touching that kind of paper, he probably got you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: in the will. Anyway, if your grandfather touching that kind
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of paper, you could have probably just asked them for
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: what you want. Then you get the money and spend
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it on a new car, luxury apartment, cosmetic surgery. But
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you got a BBL luxury clothing, concert tickets, concert tickets.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Who did you go see the wretchet? Oh? You wanted
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to have big fun on your grandfather's dime. She actually
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: went to go see Usher and didn't even get know yours. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I know you had power of attorney for your grandfather, Erica,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean power to exploit. Okay, we was
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: just talking about this earlier because Cardi b was on
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Jennifer Hudson saying, how your kids are you gonna take
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: care of you when you get older? They supposed to.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You should be able to rely on family when you
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: get older, but you can't change a player's game and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the knife inning. Okay, once the scammer, always a scammer.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And know Erica is not Nigerian. I know you were
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: thinking it, but a Nigerian would never do their grandfather
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: like this because Nigerians understand those who respect the elderly
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: paid their own road towards success. The Bible even says
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you should submit to your eldest with humility. That's first
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Pter five to five. Erica, you was not humble, You
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: was arrogant. Crazy thing is you wasn't scamming your grandfather,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: You were scamming yourself. Okay. What kind of soulless person
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: steals from a ninety five year old, especially a person
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: who was probably gonna leave you something anyway. Are supposed
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: to pass down blessings, not get blood dry by their
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: own bloodlines. Okay. I don't know who needs to hear
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: this this morning, but please listen to your uncle Shawla.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Taking advantage of old folks ain't hustling. That's heartless. Okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: If you'll rob your own grandfather, you'll rob anybody. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that's why you have to you Erica should have to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: deal with maximum consequences. They need to make an example
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of you. That man is ninety five, he fought through
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: segregation and probably two hip replacements. Okay, he should not
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: have to fight his own granddaughter for his bank account.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Please give Erica Hoffer the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You all.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh the day, ye oh the day.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yet gotta make an example of her.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Now, I was thinking, I was thinking, master your question,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that's your granddaughter.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: She stole from me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's wrong, it's foul. But do you press charges on
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: your granddaughter?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I got to mention, I don't even remember. Y'all do
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: what y'all do, but I don't know nothing. Make sure
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: my money back on my account.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: That should makes your money back in my account. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't remember. Foul, it's horrible, But do you put charges
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: on your granddaughter?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: It's not about whether or not he present charges on
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: some other family, getting charges pressed on her because she
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: committed a crime some other family.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: You need some type of consequence, Like you said, I mean, yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you pressed charges on law as man and then like right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: but she was probably in the will anyway. If you
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: touching that type of paper like you don't even know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: that's crazy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You don't know because.

  Speaker 2: She probably gonna go to jail for some time time
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like this, ain't no thirty days.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: She made a choice, but that should be forty. She's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a forty five year old woman who made a choice. Still,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: your grand choices have consequences, I agree, But still your granddaughter,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I don't care better you're talking about. Does she care
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: about me as the grandfather? What she was feeling for me?
