Boston Mortgage Scammers Sentenced In Federal Court

A former nurse's assistant and two relatives were sentenced Tuesday in Boston Federal Court on charges of Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft in connection with their theft of hospital patients' personal identity information that they then used to fraudulently obtain mortgage loan proceeds. A third relative of the nurse's assistant was sentenced in December for her role in the scheme. All defendants pleaded guilty to the charges, thereby sparing the government the expense of trial.

The successful investigation was a "joint venture" involving the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Serrvice, and the Massachusetts State Police.
