She went to prison for fraud and bad checks. Then courts around Philly let her manage the finances for elderly residents. ( Full title ).

Relatives of Edmund and Margareta Berg were shocked to learn, a little more than a year ago, that the court-appointed guardian handling the Fox Chase couple’s finances had a record of fraud, bad checks, and forgery.
Around that time, Marie Frisby began questioning the guardian appointed to help her husband, Hank. They contend that his bills weren’t being paid and, as a result, they had to sell their home in Wyncote, Montgomery County.
Meanwhile, Nu Vuong, a naturalized U.S. citizen who doesn’t speak English, had been moved by her guardian from her Kensington home to a Delaware County nursing facility where no one spoke her language.
In each case, the guardian was the same woman, Gloria Byars of Aldan, Delaware County.
...
The experiences of the Bergs, Frisby, and Vuong demonstrate how well-meaning relatives can be swept away by a guardian who may not be acting in a person’s best interests. And Byars’ criminal record underscores what some advocates say is a broader issue: a lack of oversight in a beleaguered system responsible for caring for thousands of often elderly Pennsylvanians.

Someone convicted of financial crimes is certainly not someone who you want managing an incapacitated person’s finances

Pennsylvania does not require professional guardians to undergo criminal background checks.

“Pennsylvania does not require professional guardians to undergo criminal background checks”
Quick, call the FBI. I had to get an FBI background check to get a real estate license. Just for an agent license, not even a broker. (An agent cannot pick his/her nose without the supervision of a broker, cannot execute the slightest bit of anything w/o a supervising broker)

They were shocked upset to learn it - but they never considered stepping in to help their elderly relatives themselves??
Many Americans are real nanny-state sheep
“Sorry. Not sorry!”
True enough, but people are busy. I see it all the time when working with elderly patients. The family figures that this person has been appointed to help...
Oh, wow. This doesn’t really surprise me though. They let OJ walk away from murder and this is just more of the same.
Social justice
Shocker.
I knew Gloria Byars was black before ever seeing the photo.
A white person with a criminal past wouldnt have been allowed such exceptions. It part of why blacks could never succeed at much on their own. They have no problems giving criminal passes for their own.
Like letting Foxes watch over henhouses.
