Las Vegas Man Cops Plea In Foreclosure Rescue Scam

From the Office of the Nevada Attorney General:

• Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced [...] that Mathew Marlon, age 64, of Las Vegas, pled guilty [...] to nine (9) gross misdemeanor counts of Making False Representations Regarding Title and one (1) gross misdemeanor count of Making a Fraudulent Conveyance in connection with a mortgage foreclosure rescue scam involving Las Vegas victims.

According to an earlier media story, Marlon was reportedly accused of getting the rightful owners out of their homes under false pretenses, and he would put renters in the houses in many cases. In the process, he falsely represented to the Recorder's Office that the sales were exempt from transfer taxes (see Accused foreclosure scam artist behind bars).
