The Condominium Law and Practice Committee of the Real Estate Bar Association offered a unique opportunity to hear from a mortgage fraud team from the U.S. Attorney’s office, including two assistant U.S. attorneys, two FBI special agents, an agent from the Internal Revenue Service, and an auditor from the U.S. Attorney’s office.
The team discussed the development of large-scale mortgage fraud investigations, schemes used to commit real estate financing fraud, and the trial of United States vs. Levine, et al. The panelists also shared insights on how to spot the signs of mortgage fraud.
