FBI Raid May Have Targeted Bridgeport Foreclosure Rescue Operator

In Bridgeport, Connecticut, The Connecticut Post reports:
  • An eyewitness says he saw FBI agents raid the building that's home to the offices of Invernat LLC and Buyer's Capital at 1944 Boston Ave. Tuesday morning. Dave Foder, a Shell gas station attendant working across the street, said he saw about 10 to 15 agents surround the building around 9 a.m. [...] There are several businesses in the building, including Invernat and Buyer's Capital, which appear to be linked, at least through personnel and their focus on properties in distress.

***

  • It is unclear if both Invernat and Buyers Capital are foreclosure rescue firms. [...] Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said his office has an active investigation into Invernat. But he was as tight-lipped as the FBI about what exactly was being investigated. He confirmed the company is a foreclosure rescue firm.
