In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Las Vegas Sun reports:

• A nine-page class action lawsuit was filed [Thursday] against a former Las Vegas talk show host who was arrested in connection with an alleged mortgage rescue scam. Las Vegas attorney James Stout filed the lawsuit on behalf of Ana and Hilpolito Villafuerte and other unnamed plaintiffs. The lawsuit alleges fraud, breach of contract claiming damages to the plaintiffs of more than $50,000, and negligence.

• Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced Wednesday that Jack Ferm was arrested on two counts of felony theft and related charges in connection with an alleged mortgage rescue scam. Ferm is president and owner of U.S. Justice Foundation, a business that led customers to believe that Ferm would prepare legal documents to stop ongoing foreclosures on their homes without the need for them to hire an attorney, Masto said.(1)
