| 'Tycoon' held in co-op nursing home investment scams
Prosecutors arrested a man Tuesday on suspicion of bilking some 100 wealthy people out of hundreds of millions of yen in investment frauds purportedly involving nursing homes to be set up by agricultural cooperative corporations. Takashi Hata, 65, who has told investigators he is an overseas Chinese tycoon and that his Chinese name is Ye Jianying, was arrested on suspicion of fraud, the prosecutors said. He has denied any wrongdoing, they said, although one of his alleged victims already won a 50 million yen lawsuit against him. Hata got that victim, a businessman in Toyama Prefecture, to put up some 9.2 million yen between February and March 2004 to establish an agricultural cooperative corporation and build a nursing home, promising that 80 percent of the construction costs would be covered by government subsidies, the prosecutors alleged.

Life's Still Bright In The Twilight
Ruby Brooks won't tell you it's easy to be 91. But she will tell you that friendships and laughter can still come along. PAM KELLEY Staff Writer This story was published in the Observer on October 2, 2005. Ruby Brooks heads down Wilora Lake Lodge's hall, steadied by her walker, which she calls her Cadillac. She's on her way to visit a friend at The Cove, the assisted-living facility that adjoins the lodge. Her friend, who has dementia, moved there last year from the lodge. It's not a move Wilora Lake residents want to make. Ruby certainly doesn't intend to make it. She has lived in this east Charlotte retirement community 17 years. She plans to remain independent in her cozy apartment, she says, until she is carried out in a wooden box. Ruby Beatrice Kilpatrick Brooks turns 92 in November.
