Operation Homewrecker - Feds Bust Up Mortgage Fraud Ring and Nab 19
Starting with this piece of work, Charles Head. Two separate indictments were filed based on a joint FBI / IRS investigation into Head and his numerous cohorts. They allegedly obtain false titles for more than 100 homes netting them millions in illicit loans, all the while promising homeowners that they could rescue their houses from foreclosure.
