State v. Ms. F (DMC No. 10148)

REDUCED (ALL) | MORTGAGE FRAUD/FORGERY REDUCED to a class 6 open/misdemeanor with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS JAIL – State v. Ms. F. (DMC No. 10148) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2011-107402): Ms. F. was accused of over inflating her income on her residential real estate loan in order to secure a house.  Eventually, the economy turned bad and the house was forfeited back to the bank.  When it was discovered that she had falsified her loan application (i.e. a “liar’s loan”), and she was charged with “felony forgery” and “felony mortgage fraud”.  We were able to get the case reduced to a simple “possession of forgery device” class 6 open/misdemeanor with probation and zero day’s jail.  The case was later designated as a misdemeanor and Ms. F. has no felony on her record.

U.S. v. Mr. B (DMC No. 10625)

NOT CHARGED | FEDERAL MORTGAGE FRAUD – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 10625) (Small Business Administration Investigated): Mr. B. had obtained a loan to build four buildings for his company.  When he secured the loan, he checked the “no” box when it had asked about prior felony convictions.  In reality, he had a prior felony.  Ultimately, the bank foreclosed on all four buildings, and over 1 million dollars was lost.  The banks attorney’s indicated they would be charging Mr. B. if he did not pay back the money.  We were able to work with The Small Business Administration Investigator and no charges were ever brought.

U.S. v. Mr. A (DMC No. 4623)

NOT CHARGED | FEDERAL BANK and WIRE FRAUD/MORTGAGE FRAUD NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 4623) (FBI Investigated): Mr. A. was a real estate investor who had performed approximately 10 property transactions.  In one particular property, he refinanced for over $900,000, and then the property only sold for $500,000.  The total loss was at least $450,000.  Countrywide Mortgages contacted the FBI and they began to investigate all of his transactions.  We were able to prove that his loan paperwork was in order, and there was no intent to defraud when the houses were foreclosed upon.  It was simply a function of the economy.  No charges were ever brought.

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.
