Every so often, I google some family members names.

Some own businesses in Venezuela( where mother's family is) and some in Miami.

Ok, it's been forever since I had, but what I found flabbergasted me!

I entered some of their names and found an article about 4 of my cousins along with business associates arrested for fraud and having swindled some people out of their life savings.

I just kept staring at the article, gobsmacked and could not believe what I was reading!

There was even a press conference about it!!

"All these citizens will be investigated and charged for the crimes
of continued fraud, money laundering,
criminal association and appropriation of securities."

The three with last name Auvert are cousins.

Oh, no! That must have been a real shock! Are yawl estranged from your family also?


You know, after reading that article and looking back understanding what I now know about behavior, I see patterns I misunderstood then.

No, we are not estranged. But I have cousins who have gotten in trouble with the law due to drug use.

Thanks. It's my understanding that they are doing better.


Hugs to you, re the shock of your own google search and what you found out about your cousins.

Thank you. I am realizing there are more psychopaths in that side of that family other than my mother.

I’ve had an extended family member get involved with child prostitution. I always thought he was really off at family reunions.
