• The task force found that between December 2007 and February 2008, Brown contacted victims whose homes were going into foreclosure and obtained advance payments up to $999 for foreclosure rescue services that he never performed. [...] Shortly after the mortgage fraud task force executed a search warrant in 2008 on the DB Financial offices, Brown fled the country. In February he was extradited back to the U.S. from the Philippines, where he was in hiding to evade authorities.
