More On FBI, IRS Raid Of Sacramento-Area Real Estate Offices

KCRA-TV Channel 3 has provided updated information on its website in connection with raid of the Sacramento area real estate offices by Federal investigators earlier this week related to an investigation of possible real estate and mortgage fraud involving Freedom Capital Mortgage, VFM Investment Group, Lyon Real Estate, Gabriel Viramontes, Jim Martin, Mario Fellini, Joseph Gallo, and Jennifer Huang.

Go here to watch the updated KCRA Channel 3 TV report (no longer available online) (by investigative reporter Josh Bernstein) and go here for Application And Affidavit For Search Warrant, which sets forth the necessary probable cause for the Federal agents to conduct their raid of the real estate offices and homes - about a half dozen locations (Note: this document is a 22.2 MB "monster", just in case you're using a "dial-up" connection).

Go here for prior posts on this story, with links to prior KCRA reports.

P.S. Thanks to one of my Northern California readers for the "heads-up" on this additional information.
