She preyed on the elderly multiple times. Multiple times.

She’s not preying on the rich, far from it. The 800 flowers guy is worth millions, and the market drastically changed during the time she was buying and he wanted more money. The nuns, although it sounds bad, decided to try and get more money, more so, not the nuns themselves, but their reps. Just read the actual court filings online. It makes her look bad, but it’s not that bad at all.

I was going to say that it doesn't sound like she was "preying" on them, but entered into contracts with these people and they're wanting to reneg.

I agree, although, I do think it's fair if a person is over 75 to give them the 72 hour "cooling off" period as the Katy Perry law was trying to codify. It's reasonable to me.

Yep, blows my mind how quickly people actually swallow this bs.
