New Jersey Contractor Cons Two Out Of Their Homes; Uses Straw Buyer To Cash In
According to a county prosecutor, it was only when the bank began foreclosure proceedings after being stiffed by the straw buyer that the real owners learned they no longer owned their homes. Both homeowners had to obtain court orders to keep from losing their homes.
Reportedly, Brown persuaded the two homeowners to sign over the deeds to their property when they couldn't afford to pay for work he performed. They were told that it was an interim solution while they worked to get a loan to cover the construction bill, according to authorities.
