U.S. v. Mr D (DMC No. 3379)

NOT CHARGED | WIRE FRAUD / SECURITIES FRAUD – Mr. D was the owner of an International Bank based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. He was accused of defrauding investors of over $1,000,000.00 due to the fact that the bank invested income in various construction projects in Florida. Eventually, these projects went “belly up”, and there was no money to pay back the investors. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office were investigating Mr. D for Sale of Unlicensed Securities, Theft and various RICO violations. Mr. Cantor became involved with the FBI agents and the U.S. Attorney and demonstrated to them that this was not a criminal case, it was actually a civil case that needed to be resolved between the investors and Mr. D. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Mr. D.

U.S. v. Ms. V (DMC No.)

DISMISSED | MORTGAGE FRAUD – Ms. V. was employed as an escrow officer in Phoenix and was charged with 37 Felony counts, including Wire Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, and Engaging in Illegal Monetary Transactions Greater than $10,000.00. While she was an escrow officer she submitted to lenders several preliminary HUD-1 forms, also known as “Pre-audit” and final HUD-1 forms. Other defendants and their family members were buyers (or the backers of “straw buyers”) of several homes (27 total) where Ms. V. was the escrow agent. The alleged “cash back scheme” stemmed from these HUD-1 forms Ms. V. drafted that resulted in large sums of unearned/undeserved monies to be distributed to the buyer. The charges against Ms. V. and the other Defendants arose from these illegal pay-outs. Per the Assistant United States Attorney, the range of loss was between $2,500,000.00 and $7,000,000.00. Ms. V. was unwittingly duped into submitting these HUD-1 forms without knowing illegal kickbacks were taking place. Her charges were ultimately dismissed in full.

U.S. V Mr. J (DMC No. 1153)

NOT GUILTY / COMPLETE ACQUITTAL | FELONY 6 COUNTS BANK AND WIRE FRAUD – Mr. J was a partner in JWJ Construction and Contracting. This company handled projects that included paving the runways for the Sky Harbor Airport, amongst other large scale jobs. At the direction of his partner and their accountant, he was tricked into signing various loan documents which did not properly reflect JWJ’s assets and liabilities. Eventually, the loans defaulted which resulted in a $1,500,000.00 loss to the bank, and $18,000,000.00 loss to the bonding company. Mr. J was subsequently charged with one count of Bank Fraud, three counts of Wire Fraud, one count of Conspiracy, and one count of False Statements to a Federally Insured Institution. His case went to Jury Trial and David Cantor received a Not Guilty verdict on all six counts (a Complete Acquittal). Mr. J’s partner and accountant each cut a deal with the prosecution to testify against Mr. J. The accountant received a felony and was placed on probation, and Mr. J’s partner was sentenced to over one year in prison.
