Mortgage Fraud Blog - 3 Indicted for Straw Buyer Scams Involving ...

Conspired to recruit and pay "straw purchasers" to purchase properties they would not normally qualify to purchase, with the intent of taking control of the properties to collect rent on and to sell within a short period of time, and divide the profits among them. The "straw-borrowers," were paid various fees and were regularly advised by the defendants that they would not be responsible for the mortgages for which they were applying.

In addition, the indictment alleges that schemed to commit mail and wire fraud by obtaining mortgages on three properties which he expected to control, two of which were obtained in the name of an associate based on false and fraudulent information.

United States Attorney Peter F. Neronha announced the indictments.

The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Luis M. Matos.

The matters were investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General, and Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations.

An indictment is merely an allegation and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
