RE: Steven Low Foundation Fraud and Steven Low Abuse, and Attempted Murder Investigation Request.
 |
To Whom It May Concern,
• Steven Low never wanted to create a foundation - as one was created in his name in 2023 - while compos mentis as evidenced in his pre-dementia will. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2018 by multiple experts. The 2024 autopsy confirmed that he suffered from dementia, including Alzheimer’s taupathy;
• He loaned money to Veronica Low in 2018 and was never repaid;
• At the time of the loan and prior, Veronica Low promised through a quitclaim agreement and a POA to never interfere in Steven Low’s affairs, including but not limited to his medical care, finances, funeral, and estate;
• Veronica Low acknowledged Steven Low’s dementia, including in 2022.

Mr. Eberhart,
Our brother is far too stoic and more polite in this case than me.
If I had even one percent of his resources and his connections to the Swiss financial press, I would not hesitate for a second to use them and make an example out of you as a person of public trust who has abused his position for financial gain. The fact that you, as a FORMER PRESIDENT OF KESB, would systematically exploit a 90 year old man with dementia, for your gain, despite repeated warnings, makes you a prime candidate for public humiliation and disbarment.
I hope our brother reconsiders his position, and that you will face the consequences of your actions.

• Nevertheless, Veronica Low worked with Mr. Eberhart on a new will and borrowed CHF 300,000 from Steven Low in early 2023, something he and Dr. von Einem, the then personal care guardian confirmed. It is also well known that she worked with lawyers in Switzerland on testamentary matters, as evidenced by complaints Dr. von Einem received from Security and the Clinical Team, including an email from nurses which states that lawyers and Veronica Low were exhausting Steven Low about finances and his will.

Voilà plus d'une année que nous sommes l'équipe soignante proche de Mr Low. Nous avons observé au cours des derniers mois, une baisse de l'état générale avec notamment une perte progressive du raisonnement, de la mémoire, la présence d’hallucinations ainsi que l’altération d’autres fonctions cognitives.
Les actions à impact négatives.
Nous avons constaté que lorsque Mr Low est impliqué dans des rendez avec les avocats Maitre Leu, Maitre Ebehart et sa fille Veronica concernant diverse projets financiers, Mr Low dort mal, est très anxieux, ne comprend pas tout ce qu'il se passe et se pose beaucoup de question, il épluche ses comptes et devient très méfiant, irritable et triste.
Pour exemple pour l'année 2023 lors des visites avec des notaires et des avocats et parfois Veronica Low qui gère des affaires de Mr Low du 10, 17 janvier, 20 février, 2 mars, 14 mars, (hospitalisation du 22 mars au 8 avril) 6 avril visite des 2 avocats à l'hôpital, 20 avril, 17 mai, 2 juin,9 juin.
Son manque de sommeil l'amène à l'épuisement.
Les aller et retour à la banque le perturbe également.
Le changement de personnel soignant le rend irritable.
Les discussions constantes concernant l’argent l'agace et l'inquiète.
La discussion au sujet de son testament le fatigue.
La réception d’e-mail douteux avec en copie son fils Michael Low.
Mr Low nous demande de lui lire ses courriers, nous demande conseils et nous partage ses doutes.
En conclusion nous observons que la maladie de Mr Low progresse, et que les actions à impact négatives ont des conséquences non négligeables sur la progression de la maladie. C’est pourquoi en tant que gardien médical et curateur nous vous rendons attentif à ces événements et nous souhaitons que Monsieur Low soit au mieux dans son chalet et ainsi éviter toutes perturbations ou nuisance.
L'équipe soignante
De plus nous vous partageons un témoignage de garde du corps de Mr Low :
Le premier juin dans l'après-midi, Anne Valérie, a dit à M. Low que son avocat, M. Eberhardt, lui avait demandé de lire un document à signer lors de la réunion officielle du lendemain, avec lui, notaire et témoin.
Après un certain temps, M. Low est allé dans son bureau et je suis resté avec l'une des infirmières dans le salon. À son retour de la salle de bureau, il semblait très agité et m'a posé la question, ainsi qu'à l'infirmière, "qui est le cerveau derrière tout cela". Je ne sais pas de quel type de document il s'agissait, ni ce qui a été signé le lendemain, mais M. Low était très troublé.
Des situations similaires à celle-ci sont récurrentes lorsqu'une réunion officielle a lieu avec des avocats ou que des questions financières sont évoquées avec Mr Low cela engendre un changement de comportement qui s'exprime par de l'angoisse.
Lorsque j'ai commencé à travailler pour M. Low l'année dernière, nous, en tant qu'équipe de sécurité, avons été invités à participer à des réunions même avec des membres de la famille pour arrêter les conversations si elles concernaient l'argent ou si M. Low commençait à être agité. Ces règles s'appliquaient tout d'abord à la fille de M. Low, Patricia, et au fils de M. Low, Michael.
• The new 2022 will and 2023 codicil waive all loans prior to December 2022, against the predementia wishes of Steven Low and give monies to Veronica, in excess of the CHF 300,000 she would
“borrow” from Steven Low in 2022 to purchase a house in Germany from a relative of her husband’s, CHF 333,000 in section 6, to be exact;

Dear Mr. Low,
In our opinion, the last will of 15 December 2022 and the addendum dated 2 June 2023 differ from the last will of 2018 mainly in the following points:
• In contrast to the 2018 will, the will of 15 December 2022 contains an
“Ausgleichungsdispens” at nos. 5 and 8, which means that gifts to the children are not to be equalized.
• In contrast to the 2018 will, Steven Low waived all outstanding loans in the will of 15 December 2022. According to the addendum dated 2 June 2023, only loans granted after 15 December 2022 shall be considered in the division of the estate.
Kind regards,

• Mr. Steven Low was in no mental position to hire Mr. Juerg Eberhart as attorney or testament executor in 2022, and made that clear, and thus was in no position to have him create a new will for him in December 2022 or a codicil in 2023. Nonetheless, Eberhart imposed himself on Mr. Steven Low by announcing himself as his attorney to his doctor and having him sign documents which the doctor confirmed Mr. Low was in no position to sign;
• Mr. Eberhart had gained access to Mr. Low’s residence with the help of Anne-Marie
Cauteruccio, the governess whose daughter did work for Patricia Low, and who accepted her client’s
Mercedes as a “gift” though he was suffering from dementia. Ms. Cauteruccio would also escort Steven Low to his medical checkups and not report his dementia which was thence thoroughly observed and documented by the home medical team. Previously, when Steven Low was hospitalized in 2022, Mr. Eberhart tried to impose himself on Steven Low as home guardian, with the help of Daniel Leu, the financial guardian, and claimed that Steven Low wanted to see him and that I interfered. In fact, contemporaneous videos show that Steven Low had no desire to see Mr. Eberhart at the time and that he had been hired “for Canada”; https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4uf4m0491534o67yfrmn6/Eberhart-exaggerating-his-mandate-whichis-about-Canada-only-and-falsely-claiming-that-PL-is-exaggerating-hismandate.pdf?rlkey=3qmr1cbh86vccf8i4hhbau1ja&st=iavizxc0&dl=0

Objet: Incident
Bonjour ,
Je vous écris concernant une situation urgente qui s'est produite récemment et qui nécessite votre attention en tant que mon employeur.
Le 13/07/2023 une situation inattendue s'est développée au chalet de Monsieur Low, impliquant le Dr. von Orelli et le Dr. Skaventzos, ainsi que nous les soignantes . J'estime qu'il est de mon devoir de vous tenir informé de cet événement car il a des implications importantes pour notre prise en charge médical auprès de Monsieur Low .
En résumé, le Dr. von Orelli à dit au Dr. Skaventzos de ne pas nous rendre visite et que la sécurité l'empêcherait d’entrer au chalet . Cependant, le Dr. Skaventzos nous a rendue visite sans savoir quoi faire . À sa visite, au bout de quelque minutes Veronica lui a donné une communication par téléphone: Mr Eberhart, qui s'est présenté comme l'avocat du patient et a apparemment ordonné au Dr. Skaventzos de quitter la maison du patient.
Suite à cela le Docteur Skaventsos c’est entretenue avec vous . Par la suite il est partie sans information supplémentaire. Monsieur Low dormait.
Cet incident soulève de sérieuses préoccupations quant à la prise en charge appropriée de Monsieur Low et à l'implication de nous équipe soignante dans de telles affaires .En tant que professionnel de santé, je m'inquiète de l'impact que cela pourrait avoir sur la santé et le bienêtre de Monsieur Low, qui a clairement besoin de soins et d'attention médicale. Mais cela a également un impact sur l’équipe soignante et nous ne souhaitons pas être impliqué dans de telles conflits et nous ne souhaitons pas témoigner de ce genre de situation d’éthique médicale.
Je vous demande donc, en tant qu'employeur, de prendre les mesures appropriées pour préserver l’état de santé de Monsieur Low et préserver l’équipe de situation critique. Il est essentiel que nous puissions maintenir un environnement médical sûr et propice à la prise en charge de Monsieur Low.
Je vous remercie sincèrement de prendre le temps d'examiner cette question importante. Je reste à votre disposition pour toute discussion supplémentaire ou toute mesure que vous jugerez appropriée. La confidentialité médicale étant primordiale, je souhaiterais que toutes les informations partagées soient traitées avec la plus grande discrétion.

• Eberhart also berated Christoph von Einem after an emergency cardiology visit in Zweisimmen after Dr. von Orelli removed Steven Low’s longtime heart medication in secret;
• Eberhart also worked with Dr. von Orelli to block Steven Low from being seen by the Head of Cardiology at Inselspital in Bern and Dr. von Orelli told the Medical Team in their nursing book to not respond to my orders or those of Christoph von Einem;

• Given the pattern of interference and harassment, Christoph Von Einem requested that Mr.
Steven Low no longer be bothered about finances and that no lawyer or Dr. von Orelli who worked with Eberhart, come to Steven Low’s residence without his permission. Months prior, Dr. von Orelli had wished to administer Haloperidol to Mr. Low, which is well-known to be lethal to Parkinson’s sufferers like Mr. Steven Low. I, as Medical Guardian, and Dr. Stuart Lipton, Steven Low’s neurologist, blocked the attempt.

• Dr. von Einem confirmed that after Veronica refused to stop talking to our father about financial matters, he twice asked her to vacate the property, after which, in a hearing with Rahel Rohr from KESB, Juerg Eberhart and Veronica Low, he was removed from his position. My father was portrayed as having said that Dr. von Einem was "dead to him" when in fact, because of his dementia, he believed him at the time to be deceased. See 9:54 in the audio file here: "I buried the guy [Dr. von Einem]!":
• The new home guardian, Mr. Gerhard Frey, ordered the nurses to not share with me, the Medical Guardian, any information including that Steven Low’s heart medication had been removed, thereby increasing his chance of cardiac failure by over 30%, by Dr. Von Orelli — who had met with Veronica Low as evidenced by the home medical team — over the written protests of both the heads of cardiology in Zweisimmen and Bern;
• There was new damage to his heart as evidenced by a report by Inselspital in December 2023. While he was hospitalized there, Veronica Low told the new home guardian her father was sharp, should not be intubated and could make his own medical decisions despite having admitted in 2022 that her father had dementia and should not be exploited;

Dear Dr. Low
Thank you very much for your wishes.
Certainly, we will send you the written final discharge report with all details as soon as it is available. We have informed Dr. Skaventzos about the course of the last hospitalization and the actual treatment.
As I am currently out of office and the hospital (during holidays), I do not have access to all the documents. We found one prior report of echocardiography from 9/2019 from Spital Zweisimmen - which we don’t have full access - with good systolic and diastolic function, mild mitral valve insufficiency and aortic valve sclerosis. The actual findings of the cardiology department of Inselspital regarding the valves from 18.12.2023: Aortic Valve is degenerated with mild degree of stenosis. Mitral Valve is degenerated, with a moderate degree of secondary regurgitation, insufficiency. Tricuspid valve with moderate degree of secondary regurgitation, insufficiency. If you need further specific cardiologic information, I kindly request you to contact Professor Windecker.
Best regards, and best wishes for a healthy and happy new year.
Martin Perrig
PS: I am out of office until Dec 27th 2023.
• Veronica Low seemed very preoccupied with Steven Low’s living will which called for reanimation at all costs, and which the medical team clearly had but which she wanted a copy of:
• In May 2023, I refused Veronica Low’s request that Steven Low be left to die at home in the event of a medical emergency where it was thought our father was dying. She made that request after she had her husband borrowed money from Steven Low. Her husband soon thereafter threatened me with physical violence in front of two witnesses. (My name was also given to the Swiss police as the driver of a speeding car of Steven Low’s which I didn’t drive https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sd8dgpiy79oo894ogv4cd/Police-stating-Dr.-Low-had-put-his-name-onspeeding-ticket.JPG?rlkey=wn5x4mssbcvq0qo6r4uio6d5r&st=jzb9xdn7&dl=0 . I rented his own vehicles in Switzerland and the Swiss authorities dismissed the case without prejudice. Veronica Low and her husband did drive a car belonging to Steven Low).

To: Philip Low
To Whom It May Concern,
I am the main treating physician for Mr. Steven Low. Mr Low had a challenging hospital course at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He is however now showing signs of significant improvement given the level of intensive support we are providing.
He currently has a tracheostomy and is on a ventilator. We are attempting to wean him off of the ventilator and to hopefully remove the tracheostomy in the future. Although he has advanced significantly towards that goal at Cedars-Sinai, we now feel the need to transfer him to a hospital that specializes in this medical practice. Barlow Respiratory Hospital is an advanced respiratory hospital whose main objective is to liberate patients off of ventilators and to eventually remove the tracheostomy.
I will continue being one of the treating physicians there with liberation from the ventilator being our target.
Neither Cedars-Sinai Medical Center nor Barlow Respiratory Hospital recommends transfer back to Switzerland at this time for multiple reasons. Switzerland does not have hospitals that only specialize in the respiratory needs of patients and specifically focus on ventilator care. We also asses that in moving Mr. Low back to Switzerland, Mr. Low risks regressing multiple steps backwards in his health status, making his road to recovery that much longer. Importantly, Mr. Low also incurs a severe and significant risk of dying during transport. Finally, Mr. Low has reached the limits of Medical care in Switzerland and was originally transferred to our center for the specialized care we provide at the very recommendation of Inselspital physicians. Therefore, it is imperative to let us complete our mission in securing his full recovery.

Dear Mr. Frey
How are you?
Have you had a chance to have a video call with our father and check-in on his appearance? We have been told that he has not been given any personal grooming care - and that is appearance is shocking.
Our father, as you know, prides himself in personal grooming. He is fastidious in this regard: haircuts, shaves, dental care, manicures and pedicures are part of his routine. Daily showering plus shaving as well as manicures, pedicures and haircuts on a monthly basis.
Is there anyway you can find out?
Thanks Mr. Frey

• In partnership with a rabbi, Veronica Low gave Steven Low, a lifelong atheist, a Bar Mizvah at 91, and created a medical death directive which would have circumvented the living will and deprived him of emergency resuscitation or of an autopsy and which would have the Medical Guardian contacted last (there was also an effort to make Steven Low, a proud Canadian, a Swiss citizen). In January 2024, Gerhard Frey sent the rabbinical death directive to the ICU in Bern on the same day that Veronica Low sent the rabbi to the ICU. It is stipulated in this document that all care must cease after the blessing from the rabbi. Veronica Low and Patricia Low came to the ICU together. The rabbi confirmed in front of a witness that Veronica Low had sent him. In parallel, Patricia Low tried to convince the ICU doctor on video to not send her father to America for medical care and told me, as Medical Guardian, that I had a “God complex” and that our father as a Holocaust survivor was overly attached to life. Years prior, in the
Fall of 2019, Patricia Low had scratched off our father’s wish in his living will to go to the hospital from if he was deemed to be dying thus depriving him of reanimation which he had always insisted on, and had convinced KESB to cancel her father’s pre-dementia will despite major neurological damage having been found in Steven Low’s brain around that time;

Philip,
Duly noted that you have refused to answer my questions.
Interesting you should mention mental health when you’re the one with a God complex.
I know this has nothing to do with “health” anymore.
Unfortunately, nobody, not even you can help Dad recover.
The truth is that Insel and any European hospital refuses to go along any further.
The truth is that they refuse to keep him intubated. And that they won’t intubate him again.
The truth is that Dad cannot be extubated successfully.
The truth is that only an American hospital will keep him intubated in order to extend his bodily life at any cost.
As a Holocaust survivor, Dad has an attachment to life which is greater than most.
But we’re not talking about LIFE anymore.
And if you think you are carrying out his living will literally, you are denying him the peace he always sought.
The peace of living and dying in Switzerland.
The peace of doing so in his chalet which he has fought so hard to keep.
Eternal Peace.

Dear Philip,
I have spoken to the police section which is responsible for Inselspital (Mr Hofer).
As agreed, I have informed them about the situation and the danger that your siblings are trying to kill your father by demoralizing him and trying to interfere with the living will.
They are ready to intervene when they are being called. Mr Hofer agreed that the doctors would call the police if family members intervene with the medical treatment. He suggested you speak with the doctors to inform them that they should not hesitate to call the police. Of course, you may also call the police if you deem there is an imminent danger to your father. The police will be hesitant to issue a restraining order against Veronica and [Patricia] given the fact that their father is in a state where he could die. However, this does not mean that they would not issue such order if they consider it necessary. I informed the police that they are currently at the hospital and could also be served with such restraining order.
We suggest you should send the following email to the family according to which the police is informed and is ready to intervene. Please send it to the siblings.
Kind regards,

Dear All,
I was informed that Veronica and Patricia Low are trying to intervene with the living will, in particular by trying to prevent the ICU team from reintubation of Steven Low (if the ICU team were to consider this to be necessary).

Dear Mr. Frey, Team Steven Low, Andrea and Patricia.
Thank you so very much for this update.
My father called me earlier today. I asked him how he was doing, and he said “great” and was looking forward to going home tomorrow or Friday.
I will add that I am very grateful for the exceptional medical care, and that the Inselspital team is listening to our father’s wishes. As his KESB appointed guardians saw on Tuesday, November 28th, 2023, our father’s mental capacity is a sharp as ever! He is very capable of making his own decisions - especially regarding his own body and his own well-being. We, even as lay persons, know that ‘intubation’ is a painful process that comes with inherent risks and possible further complications. I am deeply grateful that another solution was found, which means our beloved father can come home soon.
Thank you once again,
Deeply grateful.

• After Steven Low’s medical transfer to America in January 2024, Veronica Low used the email stevenlowveronicalow@gmail.com and copied Leu and Eberhart to tell the Canadian firm Gowling WLG that she had received direct instruction from her father to shut down Prima Industries in Alberta of which he only had a single share, and where she was treasurer and a member of the board, and to move money;
• Gowling was duped;
• At the time, Steven Low was not communicative and his phones were in his safe in Switzerland;

• After his transfer to America, Veronica Low, Patricia Low and the new home guardian tried to separate Mr. Low from me, his Medical Guardian, and Veronica Low had a lawyer contact the hospital which rebuffed him. Mr. Frey and Patricia Low’s lawyer also demanded that Steven Low be returned to Switzerland, independently of his health status, and Patricia Low’s lawyer requested that Steven Low’s medical bills medical care otherwise cease to be paid;
• Veronica Low, as stated above, and Eberhart also interfered;
• Steven Low’s financial guardian, Mr. Leu, slow-walked the initial payment of the hospital and of the medical plane which I initially paid for. Subsequently, the financial guardian did not pay the hospital fully and the hospital downgraded Mr. Low’s standard of ICU care — thereby gravely jeopardizing its relationship with Steven Low — despite multiple requests from me and others that he pay the hospital;

Wonderful speaking with you on Friday. I hope you have fully recovered from your cold.
This morning, Pacific Time, Daniel Leu told my attorney Dieter Hofmann that he had paid all the Cedars-Sinai bills he had received, which surprised both Dr. Hofmann and myself.
Could you please confirm the above, and if so, confirm the paid amount? On the other hand, if this information is not correct, please send Dr. Hofmann the outstanding bills in order for him to promptly bring them to Daniel Leu’s attention and kindly put me in BCC as I would like for this to be resolved despite it not being part of my mandate.

• Despite multiple requests by the hospital, the new home guardian, who had threatened the nurses with termination if they boarded the medical plane in January, refused to send them to Mr. Low’s bedside to calm him as familiar faces and help him manage his dementia and practice swallowing. As a result of this neglect, Mr. Low could not be transferred to either a rehab center (or subsequently to a respiratory hospital) and pulled on his nasogastric tube, which led to an aspiration pneumonia, two intubations, painful bed sores, five days of caloric restriction, a tube feeding, and ultimately his death from cardiac arrest;

Dear Dr Philip Low,
I hope things are well with you.
I had emailed you previously about the importance of having the private nurses that know your father to be with him at bedside.
I wanted to give you an update on how your father is currently doing. Overall he is great and has improved tremendously.
The main issue is his swallowing. This is still weak and needs to improve with good rehabilitation and nursing care.
He has failed multiple swallow studies. And required a feeding tube through his nose.
I strongly feel that had he had his private nurses at bedside, they could aggressively do swallowing and coughing exercises with your father giving him a higher chance of passing the swallow study. The inability to pass the swallow study is delaying the next stage of rehabilitation, slowing down the recovery and driving up the costs.
Having the nurses here, beyond exercises and psychology support for your father, would also help make sure that he does not pull the feeding tube out when he gets frustrated and does not have to be in restraints, which can be stressful and can lead to loss of muscle and to bed sores which are painful and can become infected.
Again I implore you to try and bring his private bedside nurses here with him as I feel this will speed up recovery and eventual discharge from the hospital.

Subject: Updates on your fathers health
Hi Dr Philip Low
I wanted to give you an update on where things stand with your father at this time.
I am the treating physician for Mr. Steven Low, who was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on January 12th 2024 following a medical evacuation from Switzerland initiated by his son, Medical Guardian and US Guardian, Dr. Philip Low, who I first met two years ago when I helped him treat his father.
I have repeatedly requested that Mr. Low’s nurses be at bedside, to ease his Lewy Body Dementia symptoms and enable him to cooperate with my staff more readily. The Swiss guardians, who I understand are responsible for both the nurses and financial arrangements, have refused to make the nurses available.
Consequently, Mr. Low repeatedly pulled on his nasogastric tube, and had to be restrained, leading to painful sores, as well as to a secondary aspiration, leading to Mr. Low being nutrient deprived for 5 days as well as to my ordering a gastrostomy tube to be placed. I believe this may have been avoided if his private nurses were by his side to help him cooperate with coughing and swallowing exercises.
Moreover the patient’s confusion secondary to his Lewy Body Dementia made it harder for the staff to suction mucus out of his mouth, and had to suction from his nose causing repeated trauma leading to him losing blood and my ordering an emergency blood transfusion for him. It also led to him desaturating and requiring emergency intubation.
Given that Mr. Low had to be reintubated to save his life, per his living will, and given that this lifesaving reintubation would not have been performed by his doctors at Inselspital, it is the unanimous medical judgement of the treating team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that Mr. Steven Low should remain in the United States, under professional and expert care overseen by his son and Medical and International Guardian, Dr. Philip Low, for an indefinite period of time, and not return to Switzerland at this point.
At your request I have cc’d the above individuals and am happy to cc them on future emails with updates on your father.

Dear Rabbi Aaron,
My law firm represents Veronica Low in connection with her efforts to ensure that the burial of her late father – Steven Low -- proceeds according to his wishes and the law. I understand that Mr. Low’s body has been at the Chevra Kadisha Mortuary in West Hollywood, CA. I am hereby requesting that you immediately provide us any information that you have regarding the current whereabouts of Steven Low, as well as his death certificate, so that the family can make arrangements for his burial to proceed as he directed. I understand that the family has been highly concerned by the lack of communication or transparency from Chevra Kadisha, after making requests for information.
Please note that California law provides a legal cause of action for tortious interference with the right to dispose of a decedent’s remains against a person who interferes with that right. I sincerely hope, however, that this matter will be resolved swiftly and amicably, without the need for judicial intervention.
We look forward to hearing from you, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Rabbi Aaron,
I am writing to confirm that Mr. Steven Low's will stated his wish to be buried near his mother, and the majority of the family requests the release of the Death Certificate so that we can send Mr. Low to Switzerland as soon as possible.
According to the law, there is no legal way to hold my father in a freezer against the wishes of the majority of the children who are asking to send his body to Switzerland for a Jewish burial and funeral. Additionally, according to Jewish Law, it is not respectful for the body to be placed in a freezer, since his will is to be buried in Switzerland in the Jewish Cemetery, where we all wish to respect his wishes.
We all agree that Mr. Steven Low shall be sent with a commercial flight asap.
Please understand that in Switzerland, Shabbat and Sunday mean all offices are closed, so we need your cooperation as soon as possible.
May God Bless you for your time and efforts

We have already indicated with regard to KESB’s decision on RA Frey’s final invoice that these decisions from KESB to “approve” of the guardians’ invoices do not mean that they have fulfilled their mandates correctly or that these costs are justified. The same applies also to the decision on RA Leu’s fees. The Canton of Berne is liable for any mistakes made by RA Leu – or RA Frey – during their mandates. Therefore, we may still file an action against KESB / the Canton of Berne in order to challenge both RA Leu’s – and RA Frey’s – fees.

Dear Mr. Low,
This is to inform you that RA Eberhart forwarded us a decision of KESB dated 2 July 2024. KESB «approved» of the bill of RA Frey for the period from 25 August 2023 to 19 June 2024 in the total amount of CHF 541’513.00. The «approval» however only means that RA Frey has fulfilled his information duties towards KESB. It does not mean that KESB decided that he has fulfilled his mandate correctly or that these costs are justified. The Canton of Bern is liable for any mistakes committed by RA Frey during his mandate. Hence, we may still file an action against KESB / the Canton of Berne.

• Throughout the years, and even before Veronica Low’s pattern of interference, KESB received multiple written warnings that people close to Steven Low were abusing him. KESB never responded to these warnings;
• In 2019, Steven Low had told KESB he was being abused by his son, who wanted to enforce the 2018 Advance Care Directive after the dementia diagnosis, but he was confused about which son. KESB repealed the advance care directive at Patricia Low’s urging who hid her father’s dementia, and later let Michael Low, a proven con artist, move in with Steven Low where he abused him financially and emotionally, and took money from him to create a bogus “Gstaad Klinik” despite having no medical or scientific training and even threatening that his father’s trees would be cut off if his father did not comply with his wishes. Mr. Leu paid for these kinds of projects without hesitation;

• In 2018, Steven Low had almost drowned in an airport hotel bathroom in San Diego where he locked himself in after having been convinced by Michael Low and Patricia Low, who both wanted money from him, to leave the care of Philip Low in California, where he was in their words “held hostage” by a son who had “faked your dementia”. For years, Patricia Low continued to hide the dementia of her father who she directly and indirectly repeatedly harassed, directly and through a lawyer of his, and extorted and put him on her rent as guarantor. He had to take a mortgage on his house which he could not repay to support her failing and disreputable gallery, prompting her own mother in 2022 to issue a warning against her, including to KESB. In 2018, she even tried to convince a hospital in California that Steven Low had been abducted by me. Michael Low continued to abuse his father and hide his dementia through 2022 when he was kicked out of Steven Low’s residence by the then home guardian, Christoph von Einem;

Patricia,
I can no longer be silent, I tried for years not to interfere , but now it is not a familyquarrel anymore and you have gone way too far by constantly depriving your father from peace, protection and medical care that he has always deserved by hiding his condition dementia in public
If Kesb would have known his condition from the beginning they would have protected him medically and financially and they would have honored his prior wishes that you have interfered with out of greed and jealousy.
Your effect on your father was much worse than on me because you triggered his paranoia by saying that he was kidnapped by Philip.
Philip always acted with integrity and foresight to protect his parents, I would definitely not be around anymore were it not for his interventions.
Neither me nor your father ever got kidnapped as you claimed, we were brought by Philip to the best clinics in the world, thanks to his great reputation and achievements in the science , academic and business worlds.
Thats why your father and I chose him to protect us, we had no idea at that time, that his job would be made harder, by your countless lies and nonstop manipulations.
This is not about sibling rivalry, you are so psychotic that you actually prefer for your parents to be dead than to be saved by your brother.
I will not let you put me in this position
I will never let you interfere with my living will, my will and my doctors.
Getting older and sick, one is helpless and getting through a healthcrisis depends on the surrounding, I will not let you abuse my trust and any medical condition the way you have hidden your fathers condition.
You will never have my living will and any attempt by you to control it will lead to your criminal persecution.
I am shocked and saddened to have to write this to you, but it is necessary given your shameful behaviour.

• Steven Low’s dementia and brain damage were diagnosed in Bern, Switzerland, and in the US in 2018, and in Thun, Switzerland in 2019 and in Bern in 2020 and in 2022. In 2022, Steven Low’s doctor, Dr. Anita Stauffer from Zweisimmen, admitted to Dr. Antje Heise, head of intensive care in Zweisimmen, that Steven Low had dementia. Rahel Rohr, head of KESB, dismissed the medical reports. As a result of Rahel Rohr’s neglect, the abuse continued and Steven Low had no access to therapy for his dementia whilst in Switzerland despite Inselspital having prescribed an antipsychotic treatment for him as early as
2018, a move followed by US neurologists;

• As indicated above, in 2016, Steven Low, anticipating that he would be a target of abuse if his neurological condition worsened as it is not unusual for Parkinson’s sufferers to develop dementia, had pre-appointed Philip Low as his guardian and executor and asked his children to sign that they understood his decision. That document was part of a 2018 Advance Care Directive in Switzerland which KESB dismissed and was notarized at the time in the US;
• Rahel Rohr, the local head of KESB, claimed I could not be guardian and was “motivated by [his father’s] money” which is amusing considering I am the only child of Steven Low’s who spent more on him than he received, and spent over $1 million on his father. I also immediately sent my father funds for a duplicate reimbursement which he had not realized he had already reimbursed me for.

• Moreover, I became a self-made millionaire from 2011, a centimillionaire in 2015, and a multibillionaire in 2024. I cared for my father from May 2018 through February 2019, including in my house in California where I shielded him from COVID from March through August 2020, I lived in my father’s hospital room in Switzerland for 11 consecutive days in February 2022, medically evacuated him to the US in January 2024, lived in a hotel next to him in Switzerland and in Los Angeles for the major part of 5 months, and brought my father’s body back to Switzerland in a private jet, a converted Embraer 190, with a door large enough to accommodate my father’s cherrywood coffin, and took care of my father’s tomb as he has always wished prior to his dementia;

If your client requires further information and records, I suggest that he request that of the executor of Steven Low’s estate in Switzerland, as they are in the best position to provide that information.
As you are aware, Prima is an Alberta company, governed by the Alberta Business Corporations Act and the laws of Alberta. The Courts in Alberta have jurisdiction to hear any actions or claims related to the governance of an Alberta corporation. Should your client commence any proceedings here in connection with Prima and retain Alberta counsel, we ask that any communications, including originating service be directed to Carscallen LLP.
Regards,
Paul

Mr Low,
I have already given you 2019 through to 2022 which are the years I was involved. The 2018 year was prepared by another accountant. So I only have the carry forward information they provided. See attached.
I am not involved in Prima's administration and therefore have no information in any form concerning operations, banking etc. after Dec 31, 2022. I was not engaged to prepare the 2023 year end, nor provided any data with which to do so.
Best,
Keith

Hi Philip,
The Quickbooks data is a portable file which can be opened in any Quickbooks desktop software. It is the same as a back up file. It is the Canadian Version of Quickbooks, so that may be an issue in your case. I do not have the US version of Quickbooks.
The bank statements weren't provided to me, rather, a downloaded transaction listing was provided for each year. I have already sent these to you, but again I have attached these statements below. You will note that there was very little actual cash in the bank, and very few transactions. Most transactions went through the trust account at the lawyer's office, whose accounts I already provided to you. Year 2019 transactions were downloaded into Excel, so that is what I used. No other statements were provided for 2019. Year 2022 had no activity in the BMO account all year, as noted in the transaction list downloaded.
Future communications should pass through Paul Reid the lawyer Veronica is using. He has been copied on this email.
Best,
Keith

In your email with the 2023 Annual Return you ask for:
1. Updated books. As indicated above we have scanned in the records we have; Note we did find in the old files copies of the 2007-2014 F/S and tax returns and they are in the Titan materials;
2. Bank Statements. We never have had any bank statements just the trust ledger which was previously sent to you and your lawyers;
3. Oil and Gas licenses. Copies of the information relating to the requests for permits and licenses are in the Titan files
Also please advise who is taking over as registered office and we can forward the minute book to them once we receive confirmation of the change in Registered Office.

Dear Dr. Low,
We would like to update you on the following points:
1.
2.
3. Regarding our request to RA Eberhart for the documents of Prima etc.:
RA Eberhart has informed us that unfortunately, he does not have these documents.
Kind regards,
Anna Mentzer

• Previous records from Prima Industries in Alberta show that Veronica Low has paid her company and herself without the CEO’s approval; https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f8bfq0hspsa8u8x887bz6/Veronica-Low-s-payments-and-selfpayments-not-authorized-by-Dr.-Low.pdf?rlkey=tw71zeyazttrkubyhbv148r06&st=h15s0ovc&dl=0
• To this day, it is not known how much money Veronica Low paid herself directly and indirectly through her father’s companies and through the foundation she created in his name, nor how much money of the CHF 5 million which were sent to Canada in 2019 with Eberhart’s support, after KESB failed to honor the 2018 Advance Care Directive, she sent back to Switzerland. Efforts by myself to investigate the matter and obtain answers from Veronica Low about the monies which she is legally mandated to account for have been met with threats of prosecution for “defamation” and I was even briefly mistakenly detained at the airport in Switzerland when I escorted my father’s coffin;
• I am completely unfazed by threats, some of which were even delivered by someone who came to my home while I cared for my father in Los Angeles, and I demand on behalf of my late father and a number of family members that anyone involved in any way in my father’s healthcare or finances, after having clearly failed to provide honest answers, must be thoroughly investigated by any and all authorities with competent jurisdiction. I believe that it is important that all facts must come to light. I appreciate the support and encouragements I have received from many corners, including but not limited to, the City of Beverly Hills whose Mayor and Council have noticed how resolute I was in the pursuit of Justice for my beloved father and his Memory.
