Case Study
Felony Charges Dismissed

One of the most common kinds of financial institution fraud involves loan or mortgage application fraud. For example, a bank and mortgage company official may orally encourage individuals and businesses to misrepresent their income and other factors on mortgage applications. In due course, when these borrowers fail to make their payments as per the terms of the agreement, the banks review the applications, seeking misstatements of income or other misrepresentations of fact.
Whenever the banks find evidence, they will often turn the case over to the federal authorities for legal action. In essence, the banks and mortgage lenders are attempting to use the government as a collection agency for the bad loans they encouraged people to take.
