California Man Gets 7 Years For Forging, Recording Phony Docs To Clear Title To Home

In Ventura County, California, the Ventura County Star reports:

• A judge Tuesday sentenced an unrepentant Simi Valley man to seven years in prison — the maximum sentence — after he was found guilty of five counts of filing and recording false documents and two counts of forgery. A defiant Abulghasen Ahmadpour told the judge that he was innocent, criticized the jurors and victims and wanted the prosecutor, Miles Weiss, investigated.

• Prosecutors say Ahmadpour was facing foreclosure on his Simi Valley residence after he defaulted on one of the loans used to finance the home. To clear the title so he could refinance the house, Ahmadpour allegedly recorded with the county Recorder's Office [...] a false reconveyance of trust deed, which contained the forged signatures of two people.

• One of the victims was awarded a judgment over a business dispute in Los Angeles County against Ahmadpour for $151,220. To clear the title to the house, Ahmadpour recorded false documents with the Recorder's Office [...] each containing forged signatures, according to prosecutors.

• In another business dispute, a third victim was awarded $113,900 against Ahmadpour at the conclusion of a civil trial. Another lien was filed against Ahmadpour's residence. Prosecutors said Ahmadpour recorded two false and forged satisfaction of judgment documents [...].
