It is nice to read stories like this. As a local Realtor, there is still so much fraud going on in this market (especially with short sales), that when someone get's caught it somewhat renews my belief in our justice system.

The problem is that some of these Realtors or loan brokers get caught, they continue to do their work under their wife or friends licenses. So, the fraud continues, just under another persons name. I have many examples of this if anyone truely cared.

I am so happy he was convicted.

His first trial was all guilty and except one.
