Oshkosh Man Pleads Not Guilty To Six Felony Charges Of Screwing Elderly Investors In Phony Distressed Property Investment Operation

In Winnebago County, Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

• A 49-year-old Oshkosh man will stand trial in Winnebago County on charges that he bilked elderly investors in connection with a real estate scheme. The man, Mark H. Brenner, on Wednesday waived his right to a preliminary hearing and entered a not guilty plea to six felonies. According to Wisconsin Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen, Brenner told investors that he ran a business buying distressed properties, fixing them up and selling them for a profit. He promised investors large returns on their money but actually bought no houses and used the money instead for living expenses, authorities said.
