Robert Abalos "Invests" Elderly Couple's Life Savings and Then Flees Mahopac, NY for Good

Here at the Robert Abalos Revealed Community, we often receive messages from people from Robert Abalos' past who tell us harrowing tales of his past misdeeds done many years before many of us here in the Community had the most unfortunate misfortune of meeting Robert Abalos or dealing with him over the Internet. Some of these messages we choose to write about here. Some of these messages we choose to withhold for a variety of reasons. Usually, we withhold to protect the innocent victims of Robert Joseph Abalos. Recall that the Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts state bars all disbarred Robert Abalos for using his status as an attorney to intimate and extort money from innocent victims – we have good reasons to protect those victims who take the courage to write to us and share their stories.

Recently, we received just such a message from someone in Robert Abalos' past who showed courage in sharing their story of how Robert Abalos stole their elderly parents' entire life savings many years ago:

"Robert Abalos was a neighbor of mine for 30 years. His parents and my parents were best friends. He offered to help my parents "invest" their money. When he got control of their money, he took off never to be seen or heard from again. My parents lost thousands of dollars – their life savings. Robert didn't even go to his own mother's funeral [in Mahopac, NY] for fear of being caught. I will be watching this site to see if anything is found out about his whereabouts."

It sounds like JAN experienced many years ago the prequel to the nightmare many of us here experienced throughout the 2000s. The crimes perpetrated by Robert Abalos against us were not just one-off events where he was just desperate to pay his rent before being evicted or resolve some other self-inflicted troubles facing him. No, the crimes against us were part of a systematic pattern that Robert J. Abalos has created and followed going on decades now. He is a career criminal and sociopath with no remorse for whom he victimizes. To Robert Abalos, any person he comes in contact with is just a means to another one of his selfish ends. JAN and his or her elderly parents clearly know this all too well – perhaps more painfully than any of the rest of us here.

JAN, thank you for sharing your story with us. We empathize and sympathize with you and your parents. If you wish to share more of your story with us, feel free to do so.
