Speaker 2 (00:04):
Today there's a bunch of donkeys out here.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
That is why, Charlemagne, we live a life where we
write our tongue based off Wholi lay a thing we
never would say anything.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
On the breakfast Club. I'm the words of charlemagnea god,
he's a donkey.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Charlamagne's giving Donkey of the day to who.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now well buster rhymes donkey today for Wednesday, September tenth
goes to Erica Hopper of Washington, d C. She is
forty five years old and she's accused of base scamming. Okay,
I'm talking wham bam, thank you scam all right, super
sayan scamming. And let me tell you something. If there's
two things that grind my gifts, it's when people take
advantage of kids and the elderly. Funny how life works. Okay,
(00:52):
we start off as kids that need their asses white
by others, and then grow to be eldest that need
their asses white by others. But either way need the
version deserves to be taken advantage of. And nothing hurts
worse than watching kids, all the elderly getting taken advantage
of by their own family. And that's exactly what Erica
Hopper did. She is accused of making more than two
(01:14):
hundred and sixty six thousand dallas and unauthorized purchases from
an old man's account. Would you like to know who
the old man was? Let's go to NBC four for
the report. Police.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Montgomery County Police accused forty five year old Erika Hopper
of embezzlement, theft, and fraud. When her grandfather went to
an assisted living home in Silver Spring following the death
of his wife of sixty plus years, Hopper gained power
of attorney in the statement of charges against her. Police
accuse her of using that to spend her grandfather's money,
(01:45):
including from the sale of his house, on herself, from
November of twenty twenty one until June of this year.
Expenditures listed include payments on a twenty twenty two Kia Stinger,
the payoff of credit card balances on two cards, stage
area of seats at an Usher concert, elective cosmetic surgery,
trips to New Orleans and Las Vegas, designer clothing and accessories,
(02:07):
and rent payments totaling more than two hundred and sixty
six thousand dollars. Charging documents accused Hopper of listing her
grandfather's pension and social Security, making him a co tenant
to qualify for an apartment at a luxury building steps
from Union Market in Northeast DC. Police say he remained
in the nursing home during that time.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Really, Erica, your ninety five year old grandfather. If your
grandfather touching that kind of paper, he probably got you
in the will. Anyway, if your grandfather touching that kind
of paper, you could have probably just asked them for
what you want. Then you get the money and spend
it on a new car, luxury apartment, cosmetic surgery. But
you got a BBL luxury clothing, concert tickets, concert tickets.
(02:51):
Who did you go see the wretchet? Oh? You wanted
to have big fun on your grandfather's dime. She actually
went to go see Usher and didn't even get know yours. Now,
I know you had power of attorney for your grandfather, Erica,
but that doesn't mean power to exploit. Okay, we was
just talking about this earlier because Cardi b was on
Jennifer Hudson saying, how your kids are you gonna take
(03:14):
care of you when you get older? They supposed to.
You should be able to rely on family when you
get older, but you can't change a player's game and
the knife inning. Okay, once the scammer, always a scammer.
And know Erica is not Nigerian. I know you were
thinking it, but a Nigerian would never do their grandfather
like this because Nigerians understand those who respect the elderly
(03:35):
paid their own road towards success. The Bible even says
you should submit to your eldest with humility. That's first
Pter five to five. Erica, you was not humble, You
was arrogant. Crazy thing is you wasn't scamming your grandfather,
You were scamming yourself. Okay. What kind of soulless person
steals from a ninety five year old, especially a person
(03:55):
who was probably gonna leave you something anyway. Are supposed
to pass down blessings, not get blood dry by their
own bloodlines. Okay. I don't know who needs to hear
this this morning, but please listen to your uncle Shawla.
Taking advantage of old folks ain't hustling. That's heartless. Okay.
If you'll rob your own grandfather, you'll rob anybody. And
(04:16):
that's why you have to you Erica should have to
deal with maximum consequences. They need to make an example
of you. That man is ninety five, he fought through
segregation and probably two hip replacements. Okay, he should not
have to fight his own granddaughter for his bank account.
Please give Erica Hoffer the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
You all.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh the day, ye oh the day.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yet gotta make an example of her.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now, I was thinking, I was thinking, master your question,
that's your granddaughter.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
She stole from me.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's wrong, it's foul. But do you press charges on
your granddaughter?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I got to mention, I don't even remember. Y'all do
what y'all do, but I don't know nothing. Make sure
my money back on my account.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That should makes your money back in my account. I
don't remember. Foul, it's horrible, But do you put charges
on your granddaughter?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
It's not about whether or not he present charges on
some other family, getting charges pressed on her because she
committed a crime some other family.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You need some type of consequence, Like you said, I mean, yeah,
you pressed charges on law as man and then like right,
but she was probably in the will anyway. If you
touching that type of paper like you don't even know,
that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
You don't know because.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
She probably gonna go to jail for some time time
like this, ain't no thirty days.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
She made a choice, but that should be forty. She's
a forty five year old woman who made a choice. Still,
your grand choices have consequences, I agree, But still your granddaughter,
I don't care better you're talking about. Does she care
about me as the grandfather? What she was feeling for me?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No, it was wrong, But you still don't want you what.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You do at ninety years old and your and Madison's
daughter do this to you?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
You ninety.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't want her to go to jail. What fat
it's wrong. I'm not saying I'm not saying it's right,
but you don't want your granddaughter your granddaughter?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well forget it?
Speaker 4 (06:19):

they was Nigerian?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Why you had to say that? Who said that? You tied?
Y'all accused me of things I didn't say.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
No you did you say? And I know everybody thinking
it's not Jerry, and nobody thought.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I never happened, roll the tape never happened, never said clown,
never said that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
