LAETICIA MOANA LAINE, LETICIA LANI MCKEE COOPER SCOUNDREL, LIAR, THIEF, EXTORTIONIST, FRAUD , ROBBED HER OWN MOTHER, TRYING TO EXTORT ME BEVERLY HILLS New York

Laeticia Moana Laine formerly known as Leticia Lani Mckee Cooper , Stole From her ILL mother , was the worste landlord person I have ever known. Stay away and NEVER DO BUSINESS with her.

As a single mother I rented from her in Los Angeles Years ago. She told me she was a spiritual healer. that shelped helped animals, and that she was an actress as well.

 Well she was an actress allright !!!  Several months after I moved into her LA rental, she tried raised my rent . First she said there were increases in expenses in the propoerty which I was obligated to pay in my lease , then she  said I had undiscolsed items on my credit report which I did not. I could  not afford legal help being a single mother, so I kept paying my rent as agreed and had continuous harrassment of past due and unpaid rent notices, which were colpetely false.

When my lease was finally up , I was relived to have this DEMON out of my life. This was just the begiining of troubles. She had three months security deposit that she refused to return.

Then she started harrassing me with phone calls from ambulance chaser attorneys trying to collect money from me. I received all types of documents with false claims, documents with what looked like my signature that I NEVER Signed. One lawyer would contact me, then he would dissapear, months later a different one, then a different one. They were like roaches , one after the other other, they just wouldnt stop. I just wish this woman would just  Please leave me  and my daughter alone.

I started looking into her and I find out this:

Woman  steals her elderly mom’s assets

This is a case about the abuse of an elder in our community

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a former Hawaii woman accused of stealing "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from her elderly and ill mother.

Letitia McKee Cooper, 57, believed to be in Southern California, was indicted yesterday by an Oahu grand jury for first-degree theft and second-degree forgery.

City prosecutors say this is the first case of financial fraud abuse against an elder prosecuted by their office.

Cooper allegedly used power of attorney to systematically empty all of her mother's accounts and safe deposit boxes of their contents, including stocks, bonds, jewelry and coins, sometime between Jan. 1, 2000, and June 1, 2000.

Cooper also allegedly transferred title of two burial plots at Diamond Head Memorial Park in her mother's name to her name.

Prosecutors could not give an exact amount of the theft. "But we have a good-faith basis to assert that there were some hundreds of thousands of dollars taken from the victim, Ella McKee," said Deputy Prosecutor Stephen Niwa.

According to the indictment, the forgery count stemmed from Cooper signing a document on May 24, 2000, that purported to terminate the lease of a residence, Niwa said.

Niwa successfully argued that bail be set at $100,000, based on the large amount of money believed to have been stolen and because he believes Cooper is "well-funded" and a flight risk.

Cooper was born in Hawaii, but apparently left at the age of 19. She kept sporadic contact with her mother and stayed with cousins when she visited here, Niwa told the court yesterday

McKee, 89, a longtime Hawaii resident, had worked at Pearl Harbor as a civil service worker and more recently was hospitalized for an undisclosed illness.

A caregiver was provided for two months, after which payments were stopped, Niwa said. The caregiver, however, continued to care for McKee for up to seven months at her own expense, then moved McKee to Southern California to live with family members.

Niwa said abuse cases in which family members are the perpetrators sometimes aren't going to be reported.

A former Honolulu woman who prosecutors believe systematically stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from her 89-year-old mother was indicted yesterday by an O'ahu grand jury on felony charges of first-degree theft and forgery.

"This is a case about the abuse of an elder in our community," said Stephen Niwa, city deputy prosecutor. "It is a case of financial abuse and our position is that sometimes financial abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse."

Investigators believe that Letitia McKee Cooper, 58, took cash, stocks, jewelry and title to burial plots from her mother, Ella McKee, after gaining power of attorney on her mother's behalf. Niwa said the property taken from January to June 2000 amounts to "several hundreds of thousands of dollars."

The mother had worked in a civil service job at the Pearl Harbor shipyard before retiring, Niwa said.

He said that Cooper paid the care home bill for the first two months after her mother was released from a hospitalization but that after the payments stopped, the operator of the care home took care of McKee for free. The operator eventually moved McKee to the Mainland at the operator's own expense and continued to care for her, Niwa said.

Conviction on the theft count would carry a prison term of up to 10 years while the forgery count carries a maximum term of five years.

 Under a plea agreement, Letitia McKee Cooper, 56, pleaded no contest earlier to second-degree forgery for signing her mother's name on a document terminating the lease to her mother's apartment.

Prosecutors opposed the deferral, arguing that Cooper had signed her mother's name on the lease termination with the intention of depleting her mother's assets, including her residence.

"This is not just a situation where she signed her mother's name," said Deputy Prosecutor Randal Lee. Cooper cleaned out and closed her mother's accounts, cleaned out her safe-deposit box and lied about why she was terminating the lease, he said.

"She breached the trust of her mom, and the fact that the crime was committed against a family member who is elderly makes it egregious," Lee said.

An agreement to drop the theft charge in return for her plea to forgery was reached to avoid putting the elderly McKee through a trial, Lee said. "It would have been rather excruciating for the victim -- she just wants to move on."

McKee did get most of her property back, but was more concerned about her daughter acknowledging wrongdoing, he said.

"She had a hard time because (Cooper) is still her daughter and she believes her daughter was ripping her off," Lee said.

No wonder she changed her name. STAY AWAY from this woman
