$10 Million In "Suspect Loans" Referred To NJ Prosecutors

Almost $10 million in suspicious loans involving a New Jersey real estate operator's collapsed empire have been referred to both Federal & State prosecutors for investigation of mortgage fraud.

A court appointed receiver is handling a court ordered "dismantling" of the operator's holdings to pay off more than $340 million in claims already against him as a result of prior court action.

While not actually accusing the operator of wrongdoing, the receiver has provided to the U.S. Attorney's Office for New Jersey and the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office his findings regarding the real estate operation that give him reason to suspect that crimes involving mortgage fraud may have been committed. Some of the findings were first reported by the Asbury Park Press in August.
