Tom McDuffie will not be required to pay for a forensic accountant to untangle the funds of over 100 former clients. Instead, the judge said he would leave the investigation of McDuffie’s accounting system to the state Office of Public Advocacy, absent other options.
Former clients and advocates attend a fitness review for former guardian Tom McDuffie, at left, and his private guardianship nonprofit, Cache Integrity Services, at the Nesbett Courthouse on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024.
But the judge said that filings to the court had not adequately explained how the accountant would be identified and paid. “They’re the ones that made the mess. Now they’re the ones who are going to clean it up?” asked Pacillo. The judge said that even if OPA had made errors, it did not preclude the public agency from unsnarling wrongdoing.
OPA is headed by James Stinson, who was appointed to the position in 2019, after Dunleavy was first elected. Stinson donated $1,000 to Dunleavy’s campaign in 2018, and more than $700 in 2021. Stinson’s compensation went up more than 20% between 2022 and 2023, from nearly $163,000 to more than $198,000.
The court visitors’ report cataloged all the ways that McDuffie and Cache Integrity Services had mishandled their obligations, including by mismanaging funds, allowing clients to lose critical benefits such as Medicaid and Social Security payments, charging excessive fees, mismanaging the properties of clients, and failing to provide health care for clients.
