I do - up on the 12th floor

Was hesitant to post this because the shooter called out the target by name. Names of the victims have been released now.

She wrote a manifesto before the shootings:

“Why I started my own consulting and accounting firm?
In 2021, I was retaliated against by my employer at the
time BDO USA, LLP. My home was broken into, my
computers were hacked, and my phones were
spoofed.
I reported several violations of SEC U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission regulations, PCAOB
standards Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (PCAOB) , and AICPA AICPA standards within
the IT audits engagements. Wesley Freeman Wesley
Freeman, CPA, CISA, CFE, CITP, the IT Audit Director,
at BDO USA, LP BDO had had done a very bad job
for more than 5 years. There were significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses across all the
engagements I was assigned to and was managing,
which at the time were 50 % of the public clients and
85% of the private clients in the Southeast region.
I was severely retaliated against and constructively
discharged. My home was broken into. My life and my family lives were threatened
- not only by BDO USA, LP and its Partners and members of its senior
management team, but also by their clients. Clients actually threatened me in front of the IT Audit Principal, Scott Meier Scott Meier. Furthermore, BDO USA' employees and partners leverage their relationship with people living in my condominium in order to pursue the retaliation at my home.
If you are planning to move to a condominium, I would advise that you stay away from one managed by Beacon Management Services; they are not only incompetent, but criminal as well.
Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows my character and my work ethic. Therefore, knows that I am telling the truth.
Wesley Freeman Wesley Freeman, CPA, CISA, CFE, CITP is the laziest manager I have had the
displeasure of working for. His laziness is only
surpassed by his incompetence. How hard is it really to test elevated privileges for systems when you have professional organizations and the SEC already setting the standards for you..?
You bet I am suing all of them! It is a shame that the sixth biggest public accounting firm has criminals at the top. No one is above the law.

I was asked several times over the past few weeks
why I decided to start my own company. It is because I am ready to provide better services to my clients. I have seen the quality of the work product generated at BDO for their clients and I am not impressed
Clients are charged a lot of money for poor quality
services. Clients deserve better. I NEVER participated in the Fraud at BDO. No amount of money or fake glory will ever buy my ethics.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the past couple of months. Please take a second to repost this message. It may help one of your contacts.

The previous poster hit the nail on the head as far as my experience, it will take all your time and energy and they will come to resent you.

My father had it bad and we didnt realize just how bad until my mother passed away. She had done a very good job of masking it.

He had his own home, fully paid for, but we had to move him into assisted living because he couldnt care for himself and because my worthless brothers were robbing him blind.

For about 2 years, he didnt know who I was and he would call me by his brother's name. He couldnt remember much about the present and was mentally stuck in his early 20's when he was in the Air Force. He couldnt remember that his parents and most of his siblings were dead, that my mother was dead, or where he lived.

A few things that we experienced that seem to be common to others that I have spoken to:

1) You have to accept whatever their state of mind is and try to make the best of it. As others have said, you can't force them into the present.

2) They may be very suspicious of you. I thought this was just my dad until others told me they experienced the same thing. He would accuse me of trying to steal his money even though he didnt have any. Every month when his pension and social security checks came in, my 2 brothers would "borrow" it all within a week and he would be broke. I paid his bills and when I would tell him he had nothing left to spend he always thought I took his money.

3) You will hear things no child should ever hear from his parent. Turns out he was about the dirtiest old man I ever encountered. He would tell stories of trying to get the nurses to stick their fingers in his butt all the time. I also found out that I had a sister that no one ever knew about (and a different race to boot).

4) You have to deal with the repeated questions and confusions as you see fit. Most days I would go right along with him calling me by his brother's name and not correct that. I knew that he recognized me as someone in his life and didnt worry that he couldnt quite make the correct connection. It was only on a few occasions where he was getting a little too excited about wanting to go home to his mother's that I had to tell him that she passed away over 40 years earlier.

5) You are going to feel guilty. I consider it a small favor that my father passed away suddenly and the disease didnt progress to the very end. I visited with him on a Sunday night and he was friendly and talkative. I got a call the next day at noon from the facility that he was being taken to the hospital by ambulance because his blood pressure had spiked and he incoherent and running a fever. I was shocked when I got to the hospital and the doctor told me he was septic and wouldn't make it through the night. I still question whether I did enough.

6) Accept that you are not going to be able to do this on your own. Putting my father into assisted living was a tough decision but absolutely the right one. He needed to be where he had 24 hour a day monitoring and medical care provided.

7) It is going to get worse - a lot worse. I pray that you do not have to watch the disease progress to the end. It is a cruel disease that takes the person you knew long before they actually pass away.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that you have a better experience than I did and I recognize that my experience was far from the worst.
