An attorney, Jason Penrod of Family Elder Law Firm in Lake Wales, Florida has been arrested for allegedly stealing over $1.7-million from a dead client’s trust fund and gambling the money at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Penrod faces multiple felony grand theft charges after an investigation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office revealed he transferred funds from the trust into his personal account. Penrod reportedly wrote a letter to the dead client's adult children, confessing that he stole the money and transferred it into his own account. Penrod cited he had mental and personal stress he was dealing with and to cope, he would gamble. Detectives are continuing to investigate his finances.
