Minnesota Man Again A Target In Mortgage Fraud Prosecution

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports:

• A Minneapolis man sentenced on a federal mortgage fraud charge in 2001 now faces Hennepin County charges involving at least $1.2 million in mortgages that stretched from Bloomington to Blaine. Larry D. Maxwell, 52, was charged Monday with 10 counts in the alleged mortgage fraud, including racketeering. Also charged with nine counts of forgery, identity theft and theft by swindle was Realty Executive Advantage Plus Group. The real estate brokerage was operated from Maxwell's north Minneapolis riverfront condo.

• The complaint against Maxwell lists four other uncharged conspirators in the racketeering count. They are Vickie Cox-Maxwell and Larry Scott, his wife and son and both agents of Realty Executive, mortgage broker Terrece Large of Worldwide Mortgage, Inc., where Maxwell was a loan officer, and Halisi J. Edwards-Staten, listed as the real estate broker for Realty Executive.
