A Rockaway, New Jersey man is an early frontrunner for scumbag of the year in 2026 as he stands accused of four felony counts of financial exploitation of a dependent senior receiving services at a Langhorne personal care facility.
On call Magisterial District Judge Michael W. Petrucci arraigned Ryan Mudra, 46 of Morris County, New Jersey on the theft related felony counts on January 2.
Bail was set as unsecured and Mudra was freed with a court date set for Jan 22.
In September of 2025, Middletown Township Police Detective John J. Beck was assigned to follow up on a reported financial exploitation of a senior citizen.
According to the probable cause the citizen is a 75-year-old care dependent individual who resides at Oxford Personal Care, located at 310 Winchester Ave in Langhorne. Det. Beck was contacted by an employee of Bucks County Agency on Aging. The employee was advised that Oxford Personal Care had stopped receiving payment from the victim’s Wells Fargo bank account in November of 2024. The employee conducted an investigation and found the following information:
– The victim’s girlfriend passed away on January 18, 2024
– The victim’s girlfriend’s nephew, Mudra, took the victim to a Wells Fargo location and added himself as an account holder on the Wells Fargo account
– Between November 1, 2024 and May 12, 2025 thousands of dollars were withdrawn from the victim’s Wells Fargo account through cash withdrawals, unauthorized purchases of sports memorabilia and payments to the Zelle accounts “MudraRyan” and “Wayner”
The Bucks County Agency on Aging employee provided investigators with copies of the victim’s Wells Fargo bank records which confirmed what she had reported. $14,681.74 was seen in purchases of sports memorabilia and payments to “MudraRyan” and “Wayner”.
Search warrants for those accounts (“MudraRyan” and “Wayner”) were obtained by police, according to court records. The evidence obtained through executed search warrants showed that both accounts were made payable to Mudra. Payment records from Zelle from Mudra’s accounts reflect what was shown on Wells Fargo’s records.
Mudra arrived at police headquarters on December 30, 2025 and was interviewed by Det. Beck. Mudra was advised that he was free to leave at any time. In the course of the interview Mudra stated that he had made Zelle payments to himself from the victim’s account. Mudra stated he planned to pay the victim back for the sports memorabilia, but did not start doing so until after being confronted by the Bucks County Area Agency on Aging.
Mudra has no attorney of record as of publication time, according to online court records.
