Jilly sends us a link to the Santa Fe New Mexican which tells the story of 95-year-old Dennis Ferk, a World War Two veteran who was ripped off to the tune of $340,000 by Dian Zeemin, 69, and Joe Rosko, 62, who Ferk hired to help him with his finances after his wife died in 2010.
During the roughly four years that followed, police allege, Zeemin obtained about a dozen credit cards under her name and Ferk’s. Investigators claim Zeemin and Rosko maxed out some of the accounts, running up tens of thousands of dollars in charges, including at a shop that only sells women’s clothing. To pay off the credit cards, police allege, the couple tried to take out loans on Ferk’s home.
Investigators also accuse the couple of cashing in some of Ferk’s life insurance policies.
Meanwhile, according to police, the couple got a recreational vehicle and wrote checks for thousands of dollars from Ferk’s bank accounts for equipment.
Martinez says the couple took Ferk on trips in the RV, traveling to historical sites and veterans memorials, but also allegedly spending substantial sums of money on themselves along the way.
Ferk was left unaware of the spending, the credit cards and the loans, he claims.
At Ferk’s request, a friend, Gilbert Martinez, delved into his books and found the stupefying truth – they had spent about $340,000 of his money on themselves while Dennis’ bills went unpaid. A warrant has finally been issued for Zeemin’s and Rosko’s arrests while Dennis is living in public housing with his daughter.

There’s a special place in hell for people like that…
Also for the people at the state agencies that failed to help out Mr. Ferk when he and Mr. Martinez went to them for help.
I agree with you and HMCS(FMF) ret, said special place in hell awaits not only them but also all of the others that should have chimed in and helped but didn’t whether it was their own apathy or flat-out incompetence.
Personally, I see no problem with accelerating their journey there. This is despicable.
Agreed.
In general, I am against the death penalty for purely economic crimes.
In this case, I could be persuaded to make an exception.
You bet, and the special place in hell is a whole lot hotter than the rest!!
I’ll take hog tie the two SOBs, place them in a room, and let a bunch of us vet enter with a tool to enlighten them
DIBS on the needle nose pliers!!!
All I need is a Zippo
Battery and jumper cables.
Tent Stake
Flamethrower
How about a nice hungry badger? With rabies!!
E-Tools.
Rubber hose, please.
Dental drill.
I’ll just go old school. Baseball bat.
Get a rope.
Here’s a dated mugshot from one of the sweethearts. I hear she looks worse nowadys, the POS.
http://www.mugshotsnow.com/nm/85-santa-fe-county/2015-01-14
Five foot five, 185 pounds, 68 years old, looks like 40 miles of bad road.
Makes no difference, IDC SARC would still hit it.
By all that is holy, please claw, tell me he wouldn’t!!!!
No, OC, he would. And probably twice on Sunday.
Smoking hot!
Geez, AirCav, you could post a modest warning about that. She’d scare the hair off a cat!
The Zombie Apocalypse looks like a best-case scenario after that.
We may have found IDC SARC’s limit.
Nahhhhhhhhhh

Sorry. The page with her mugshot doesn’t come up directly. Hers is the last name on the left of the page that does come up through the above link.
Thanks a lot 2/17. I just choked on my coffee. That was like those links that get you to look at at your screen really hard and then shows a photo of Hitlary. I think you may have found something SARC wouldn’t hit.
Shot that came up on her name was a GUY
unless she has grown a goatee lately
David. Read my 10:52 comment.
Did… when I clicked Dian’s name at the bottom of the list I got a mug shot of a 40ish blond dud with a bard/goatee, looked like he would field dress about 240 or so.
holy crap, I blew up the pic at the link Skyjumper posted – that goatee is her wrinkled chins. Bleach, please!
Good thing I didn’t look.
GHAAAAAA!!!!
She’s a real catch, no doubt. But even IDC SARC has some standards.
oh Mylanta, that woman is hideous! I hope she rots
I had a great aunt who was being ripped off by people she trusted when she was I her 90s-they even filed a claim on her property on the morning she died (we think they slipped the document in with a bunch they had her sign and then got a crooked notary to sign off on it-my family eventually won in court). At my worst I could never imagine stooping so low as to take advantage of someone, anyone, who came to me for help. I hope they never breath air as a free person again.
A woman my Dad trusted ripped him off in similar circumstances, cops estimated about $125,000 worth. She was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $65,000. As the detective on it said, “Who says crime doesn’t pay – she made $60,000 free and clear”
It sure is tempting to hope for an unexplained accident after she paid that back – one that cost her a $60k+ penalties, with perhaps a permanent reminder to not do that again.
She died very soon after paying the restitution. Sadly, we had nothing to do with it.
At least she died after so you didn’t have to fight her heirs for what she owed.
And the Judge we face after we did is always just. Which ought to scare everyone…
This is why interrogation rooms with hammers and pliers were invented. To question fucksticks like these two.
Use an E-Tool.
Multiple uses; very versatile.
They appear to be Corporate Instructors at All-Points Logistics School of Executive Management.
Shitbags.
Nope. I would say most likely they are Senior Financial Planning Advisors with FirsTech Brokerage Services.
Shoot the sons of bitches.
Holy Mother of Sweet Jesus!!
You all are getting better at “spew alerts”, but I’m thinkin’ work has to be done at issuing “up-chuck” alerts.

Guess she won’t have to worry much about getting “used” when she is in prison.
At least she has that going for her.
According to the charges, she made bail at $400.00 and skipped her hearing date.
1. Statute: M49FR201001168
2. Statute Desc: FAILURE TO APPEAR
3. Bond Type: CASH
4. Bond Amount: 400.00 #1
5. Case No: SFPD
6. Disposition:
7. 1: M49FR201001168 FAILURE TO APPEAR CASH 400.00 #1 SFPD
I agree SFC D, “We may have found IDC SARC’s limit”.
Nah, for an old Navy pro like SARC she’s a mere triple-bagger: a bag for her, a bag for SARC and a bag for his dog.
So the dog won’t be ashamed of him the next morning…
SARC has mentioned in the past that beauty is only a light switch away.
But ugly goes clear to the bone, and in this case, beyond.
No, AW1Ed, there isn’t enough darkness for her.
OMG! She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!
That was an old charge, although newer than her bad check charge in 2008. She now has brand-spanking new charges.
Fuck those shitbags with a chainsaw.
Maybe I’m just a dumb redneck, but honestly feel that any cocksucker who does that to the elderly, vets or otherwise, deserves the noose. I can’t wrap my head around thievery or vandalism in general (if it ain’t yours, leave it alone! How hard is that?), but this shit is beyond the pale. These two need to fucking die. Publicly.
Dian Zeemin and Joe Rosko’s punishment should be to suck prison cock non-stop for 96hrs, then be ass-raped by the entire ghetto penthouse for another 96hrs. Then, should be forced to write “I will not steal and I love cock” 340,000 times with crayons. Finally, tar, feathered, flogged, dragged through the street and hung like the pigs that they are.
Find em, fry em, forget em.
I think there are a few fire ant mounds in Santa Fe that they could be staked to.
Fire Ants – now yer talkin’.
If my dog was as ugly as she is, I’d shave his ass and make him walk backwards!
She’s so damned ugly that the only thing that would screw her was her cat. And that was only because her twat smelled like tuna.
Thief Joe Roska to crime partner Dian Zeemin….”Of course my dick tastes like shit! Wha’d ya think, I’d been screwing jelly donuts?”.
The story doesn’t say anything about the bitch having children. She’s so damned ugly….the ONLY way she could have EVER gotten pregnant would have been for someone to dress her up as an alterboy!
May both of these assholes rest in hell.
She is so ugly, they had to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.
I often think white collar crimes, particularly visited on those who are elderly or poor, is the worst. There is a personal ‘ickiness’ about it. These turds? They will never pay restitution in any meaningful amount. I vote for a long prison term, preferably ones that will guarantee they die in prison. Just human pond scum.
And how is it the credit card companies, those later on in the scam, didn’t do sufficient research to show several cards had been recently obtained by a 95 Y/o man? Little more than money whores.
The thing is that if they didn’t press it it the ladie’s clothes and other items they could have gotten away with this shit.
Iv’e heard and seen cases where the elderly ( not just vets) are taken like this.
The “caretaker” moves in with the person. All “expenses” are considered part of maintaining the household. So the person can buy transportation (tranlated new car) all new furnishings, and the light, water, Cell phone, housephone, internet, Pool care and all groceries are all in the elderly person’s name and for “Them”.
Never mind the person is in a wheelchair or bed all day and may or may not be getting proper care.
The “Caretaker” has 800 channels of cable, a pool, widescreen TV, and gourmet type meals. Not to mention any freeloader who wants to hang out gets a free ride as well.
Y’all are a crude bunch’a pikers. Tie them up, spread eagle. An X-acto knife, lemon juice, and salt. ‘Nuff said.
Still waiting for IDC SARC to chime in on the possible hitability attributes of Dian Zeemin.
Hello? Hello? SARC, are you there?
Even IDC SARC has standards.
My favorite journalist, Lea Gabrielle, showed this story on Fox and Friends last Tuesday morning. I hope these turds are found, and that they somehow are forced to reimburse Mr. Ferk…maybe by forfeiting their life insurance and having to get a potter’s field burial.
Why waste good earth to bury them? Why not cremation? Wait a minute…will shit burn? Oh yea, just like RVN…put em in a half barrel with some diesel fuel and up in smoke! Any volunteers for the bottom layer in the barrel? First the layer of volunteer turds, then them, followed by another layer of shit. Call it S O S..shit on shit.
A SURE sign that certain people are short on integrity….”When even on T A H you can’t find a sock puppet to speak for them.” Now that HAS to be a low-down P O S !
Somewhere I had read this, but never verified on Snopes.com. One night Dian and Joe were living it up at the old veteran’s house as he slept. They were getting ready for bed one night when all of a sudden Dian burst out of the bathroom, flung open her robe and yelled, “Super Pussy!” Joe looks at her and says, “I’ll have the soup.”
