CLAYTON, Mo. – There’s a widening scandal involving a man now serving prison time for ripping off the elderly.

It involves Gino Rives, who is now serving seven years in prison for elaborate schemes.

Federal prosecutors say Rives tricked a dying woman into paying for his vacation. They also allege he stole an Affton home from a different person after putting her in a nursing home. Additionally, he billed a senior for $855,000 for renovations at a south city home that was only worth $55,000.

Now, a newly filed court order identifies six vehicles Rives allegedly fraudulently obtained and that he needs to hand over.

Timothy Weaks, a public administrator—also known as a guardian—for one of the victims, told us, “We’ve discovered he purchased a car in her name. This is like a $65,000 GMC Denali.”

Loretta Pritt is friends with another victim, who has since died. Pritt is still fighting to get restitution for her friend’s estate, which includes finding some cars.

“There are two that are missing. I’ve been to the police,” she said. “Here we are almost two years later, still trying to recoup for this friend of mine.”

Rives lived in an Edmundson home before he went to prison—a home that remains in his name. It used to have many more cars parked out front than it does now. Those cars are gone now, and authorities don’t know where they are.

If it wasn’t hard enough to get repaid, Weaks worries about others who are vulnerable. He testified about it in Jefferson City Monday, describing it as a crisis.

“People are falling through the cracks; people need help,” he told legislators at the hearing.

Weaks is a guardian for 500 people in St. Louis County. He says the list is growing, and the clients are becoming younger, such as mentally challenged people aging out of foster care.

Former Missouri Gov. Mike Parson last year budgeted millions of dollars for special needs people on a waiting list for services, but the general assembly removed that funding. Weaks fears if future funding isn’t secured, it will put many more people at risk for similar scams.
