Rest In Peace. Robbed In Probate.: The Story Behind a Widow’s $2 Billion Jury Verdict Against JPMorgan Chase Bank

Book Synopsis: Max Hopper climbed out of a dirt-poor childhood to change air travel forever. Known as the Father of Travel Agency Automation, Max has it all—a wife of 28 years, two children, a productive retirement, and a fortune in the bank. But when the unthinkable happens and Max suddenly dies without a will, his wife, Jo Hopper, is left to pick up the pieces. Since Max’s children from his first marriage are inheriting his estate, Jo allows JPMorgan Chase Bank into what’s left of her life. As one of the world’s largest banks, JPMorgan promises Jo they are experienced pros—trustworthy fiduciaries—who won’t even charge her a cent. What could go wrong with big money at stake? Jo soon finds herself trapped in an endless cycle of lies, deceit, and mishaps that drain millions of dollars from her account, leaving her financial solvency in doubt and her home at risk. As weeks turn into years, the only exit she sees is jumping off Dallas’s High Five overpass and killing herself. Then something happens. She decides to get up off the mat and fight. But there’s no way a simple widow in her sixties can beat the endless resources of JPMorgan and its $2 trillion in assets. Is there? Jo Hopper’s probate case against JPMorgan is the ultimate David and Goliath story. Take a nine-year-long rollercoaster ride through the financial world and legal system as JPMorgan pulls out all the stops to finish off this poor widow while removing the last dollars from Max’s estate. And when the ultimate confrontation arrives, and the big bank sinks its financial jaws into this woman, sit back and watch a fight to the death. You won’t believe what happens. Rest In Peace. Robbed in Probate. Don’t let this happen to you! Read more
