In recent news, 12 Arizona residents have been indicted for involvement in multi-million dollar mortgage fraud schemes. The defendants have been charged with numerous white collar crimes, including various counts of conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering, as well as conspiracy to commit transactional money laundering. It was determined that mortgage fraud played a huge role in the collapse of Arizona’s economy and real estate market, so it’s safe to say that federal investigators are not going to show much leniency towards defendants accused of this criminal offense.
