Psychedelic medicine group (MAPS) investigating a board member accused of financial elder abuse

The dangers of an unregulated market are growing ever more evident each day.

We reported this when Stat news first highlighted the issue. Now MAPS have indicated they are doing something. Although, let’s be honest, it is all very vague. There’s no official announcement on the subject by MAPS and as you can see from the image below Dulai hasn’t stood down whilst the investigation is going on and obviously, MAPS haven’t asked that she do so until the investigation is completed.

Ummmm!

She’s still writing articles. This, just published 18 May 2022

Stat News reports

A leading psychedelics organization has launched an investigation of one of its board members after STAT reported allegations that she had taken financial advantage of an elderly Holocaust survivor and philanthropist who regularly used hallucinogenic drugs.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), which is at the forefront of research on using psychedelics as medical treatment, said it is reviewing claims of financial elder abuse against board member Vicky Dulai, who was helping to care for a man named George Sarlo, her longtime companion. The decision is an about-face for MAPS, which previously said it had not investigated because no credible claims had been made.

MAPS’ compliance team will review the allegations, spokesperson Betty Aldworth wrote in an email to STAT. She did not explain what prompted the reversal, nor provide details on who was on the compliance team, what specific allegations they were examining, or how long the review process would take. “To protect the integrity of compliance reviews, MAPS follows the widely-accepted best practice of not discussing ongoing reviews,” wrote Aldworth.
