Lawyers for an elderly Gettysburg, Pa., man who gave more than $260,000 to political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. have moved to seize the money from LaRouche accounts at financial institutions in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.

[Elmer Yoder] sued to recover the money after his children discovered the transaction and local police investigated. The judge's order was entered against two LaRouche fund-raisers, Michael Billington and Laurence Hecht, and two Loudoun-based LaRouche groups, the Executive Intelligence Review and its news service.

In a related development, the lawyer for another LaRouche fund-raiser, Rochelle Ascher, has asked for a special prosecutor to investigate an elderly Pennsylvania woman who is trying to recover the $740,000 she said she gave to Ascher and other LaRouche fund-raisers over the last year.
