  7. ended up working for a company that was ended up working for a company that was a subprime lender and those people a subprime lender and those people a subprime lender and those people didn't have a lot of options by Honestly didn't have a lot of options by Honestly didn't have a lot of options by Honestly by the time they got to that to Eagle by the time they got to that to Eagle by the time they got to that to Eagle lending their options were over so what lending their options were over so what lending their options were over so what end ends up happening is you're end ends up happening is you're end ends up happening is you're negotiating with sellers you know you negotiating with sellers you know you negotiating with sellers you know you would think that a lot of the stuff that would think that a lot of the stuff that would think that a lot of the stuff that in that industry that real estate in that industry that real estate in that industry that real estate agents should do you the Brokers end up agents should do you the Brokers end up agents should do you the Brokers end up doing because real estate agents are are doing because real estate agents are are doing because real estate agents are are used to you meet them at the house or used to you meet them at the house or used to you meet them at the house or they take you to several houses they you they take you to several houses they you they take you to several houses they you know they they open the door they walk know they they open the door they walk know they they open the door they walk around they write up a contract that's around they write up a contract that's around they write up a contract that's legit a legit contract and you already legit a legit contract and you already legit a legit contract and you already you're already you're already you're already pre-approved everything works out but pre-approved everything works out but pre-approved everything works out but subprime that's not the case you got subprime that's not the case you got subprime that's not the case you got borrowers with horrific job history they borrowers with horrific job history they borrowers with horrific job history they don't have enough of the down payment don't have enough of the down payment don't have enough of the down payment they can't maybe they have the down they can't maybe they have the down they can't maybe they have the down payment but they don't have the closing payment but they don't have the closing payment but they don't have the closing cost so you have to go to the real cost so you have to go to the real cost so you have to go to the real estate agent and say listen I need you estate agent and say listen I need you estate agent and say listen I need you to raise the purchase price and have the to raise the purchase price and have the to raise the purchase price and have the the seller pay the closing costs which the seller pay the closing costs which the seller pay the closing costs which is legal but that's not to a degree but is legal but that's not to a degree but is legal but that's not to a degree but that's not how they wrote up the that's not how they wrote up the that's not how they wrote up the contract so now you're having to get contract so now you're having to get contract so now you're having to get them to rewrite the contract or you're them to rewrite the contract or you're them to rewrite the contract or you're have you're you know there's little have you're you know there's little have you're you know there's little things you're trying to do and the more things you're trying to do and the more things you're trying to do and the more the more deals you get done and the more the more deals you get done and the more the more deals you get done and the more you deal with certain real estate agents you deal with certain real estate agents you deal with certain real estate agents the more you start to the more you start to the more you start to realize that they're you know you know realize that they're you know you know realize that they're you know you know which ones are completely above board

  8. which ones are completely above board which ones are completely above board and which ones are willing to twist the and which ones are willing to twist the and which ones are willing to twist the rules and a lot of it works on personal rules and a lot of it works on personal rules and a lot of it works on personal relationships right right for some relationships right right for some relationships right right for some reason people tend to like me and trust reason people tend to like me and trust reason people tend to like me and trust me yeah I don't know why it's it's it me yeah I don't know why it's it's it me yeah I don't know why it's it's it hasn't worked out for so many people but hasn't worked out for so many people but hasn't worked out for so many people but people naturally seem to trust me and so people naturally seem to trust me and so people naturally seem to trust me and so if I say hey I can close the loan but if I say hey I can close the loan but if I say hey I can close the loan but you got to do this it'll be cool don't you got to do this it'll be cool don't you got to do this it'll be cool don't worry we do it all the time it's like my worry we do it all the time it's like my worry we do it all the time it's like my third loan and you know I I've been third loan and you know I I've been third loan and you know I I've been doing this for years and they go okay doing this for years and they go okay doing this for years and they go okay and then they raise the purchase price and then they raise the purchase price and then they raise the purchase price they add some money they have the seller they add some money they have the seller they add some money they have the seller of the house give the borrower some of the house give the borrower some of the house give the borrower some money they stick it in the bank or they money they stick it in the bank or they money they stick it in the bank or they put it in the in escro at the closing put it in the in escro at the closing put it in the in escro at the closing company like now you're starting to company like now you're starting to company like now you're starting to massage deals what was the second time massage deals what was the second time massage deals what was the second time you committed a crime so what how did it you committed a crime so what how did it you committed a crime so what how did it start to evolve from the white out well start to evolve from the white out well start to evolve from the white out well I mean when that went through you know I mean when that went through you know I mean when that went through you know I I think a normal person probably would I I think a normal person probably would I I think a normal person probably would have have have said wow it was a onetime thing got away said wow it was a onetime thing got away said wow it was a onetime thing got away with it I'm good but for me it just with it I'm good but for me it just with it I'm good but for me it just emboldened me MH like I just got a chat emboldened me MH like I just got a chat emboldened me MH like I just got a chat for like I don't know what it was 25 for like I don't know what it was 25 for like I don't know what it was 25 $3,500 I was thrilled and by that time I $3,500 I was thrilled and by that time I $3,500 I was thrilled and by that time I was already working on another deal but was already working on another deal but was already working on another deal but that that that guy he made I forget something like he guy he made I forget something like he guy he made I forget something like he had made like let's say had made like let's say had made like let's say $45,000 the year before in his $45,000 the year before in his $45,000 the year before in his W2 if you based on his based on his W2 if you based on his based on his W2 if you based on his based on his current track record or or his year-to

  9. current track record or or his year-to current track record or or his year-to date of his pay St he made just enough date of his pay St he made just enough date of his pay St he made just enough money but if you factored in last year's money but if you factored in last year's money but if you factored in last year's W2 he was shy so if I change that 45,000 W2 he was shy so if I change that 45,000 W2 he was shy so if I change that 45,000 to 51,000 to 51,000 to 51,000 then he could the loan closes I get a then he could the loan closes I get a then he could the loan closes I get a check for 3500 bucks he gets into a check for 3500 bucks he gets into a check for 3500 bucks he gets into a house I'm doing him a favor you know I'm house I'm doing him a favor you know I'm house I'm doing him a favor you know I'm doing God's work so I fix it it I kick doing God's work so I fix it it I kick doing God's work so I fix it it I kick back I'm terrified a little bit you know back I'm terrified a little bit you know back I'm terrified a little bit you know worried about it sure enough it closes worried about it sure enough it closes worried about it sure enough it closes four or five days later they call me four or five days later they call me four or five days later they call me he's ready to close a week later we he's ready to close a week later we he's ready to close a week later we close I get a check next guy that comes close I get a check next guy that comes close I get a check next guy that comes in I mean I got very very quickly I was concerned do you have a quickly I was concerned do you have a house do you have a deal is it ready I house do you have a deal is it ready I house do you have a deal is it ready I can get you I can get you done now if can get you I can get you done now if can get you I can get you done now if you were in bankruptcy or something you were in bankruptcy or something you were in bankruptcy or something there's some things you just you pull there's some things you just you pull there's some things you just you pull their credit and you just couldn't help their credit and you just couldn't help their credit and you just couldn't help them if they were if they had a 550 them if they were if they had a 550 them if they were if they had a 550 credit score or something and no job I credit score or something and no job I credit score or something and no job I mean you know it had to be within reason mean you know it had to be within reason mean you know it had to be within reason but very quickly it was changing W2s but very quickly it was changing W2s but very quickly it was changing W2s changing pay subs changing appraisals um changing pay subs changing appraisals um changing pay subs changing appraisals um you know fixing verif like I said you know fixing verif like I said you know fixing verif like I said verifications of verifications of verifications of rent so it evolved very quickly for me rent so it evolved very quickly for me rent so it evolved very quickly for me and you're essentially helping people and you're essentially helping people and you're essentially helping people that's what I told myself giving him a that's what I told myself giving him a that's what I told myself giving him a chance people that have been really chance people that have been really chance people that have been really struggling financially in life so you've struggling financially in life so you've struggling financially in life so you've been telling yourself that this is been telling yourself that this is been telling yourself that this is you're doing a good good thing for you're doing a good good thing for you're doing a good good thing for people I told myself that right up until

  10. people I told myself that right up until people I told myself that right up until that those loans were solid and I was that those loans were solid and I was that those loans were solid and I was helping those people out right up until helping those people out right up until helping those people out right up until I went to prison and and I was in prison I went to prison and and I was in prison I went to prison and and I was in prison and I had to write the government asked and I had to write the government asked and I had to write the government asked me to write an ethics and fraud course me to write an ethics and fraud course me to write an ethics and fraud course for to help teach the nation's mortgage for to help teach the nation's mortgage for to help teach the nation's mortgage brokers um you know all loan officers brokers um you know all loan officers brokers um you know all loan officers and Brokers have to take I think it's and Brokers have to take I think it's and Brokers have to take I think it's nine hours of continuing education every nine hours of continuing education every nine hours of continuing education every single year and I was approached to single year and I was approached to single year and I was approached to write the ethics course and it was about write the ethics course and it was about write the ethics course and it was about that time and about the same period of that time and about the same period of that time and about the same period of time I was writing uh writing a book my time I was writing uh writing a book my time I was writing uh writing a book my book and that kind of you I started book and that kind of you I started book and that kind of you I started reflecting on what I had done you know reflecting on what I had done you know reflecting on what I had done you know and the truth is and the truth is and the truth is like and this is a horrible thing to say like and this is a horrible thing to say like and this is a horrible thing to say cuz the first time I ever heard somebody cuz the first time I ever heard somebody cuz the first time I ever heard somebody say this I remember thinking oh that's a say this I remember thinking oh that's a say this I remember thinking oh that's a horrible thing to say some people should horrible thing to say some people should horrible thing to say some people should not own an house they shouldn't be not own an house they shouldn't be not own an house they shouldn't be allowed to borrow they're not in a allowed to borrow they're not in a allowed to borrow they're not in a position financially you know and and position financially you know and and position financially you know and and there were there were many occasions there were there were many occasions there were there were many occasions where I put someone in a house that they where I put someone in a house that they where I put someone in a house that they 100% swore they could afford it was I 100% swore they could afford it was I 100% swore they could afford it was I was helping them I told myself I was was helping them I told myself I was was helping them I told myself I was helping them and a year and a half later helping them and a year and a half later helping them and a year and a half later they're going into foreclosure their they're going into foreclosure their they're going into foreclosure their stuff's on the corner they don't know stuff's on the corner they don't know stuff's on the corner they don't know where to where to where to go and the truth is is that I I'm not go and the truth is is that I I'm not go and the truth is is that I I'm not smarter than the actuaries that came up smarter than the actuaries that came up smarter than the actuaries that came up with those underwriting with those underwriting with those underwriting guidelines so in this whole process how guidelines so in this whole process how guidelines so in this whole process how are you making money are you taking a are you making money are you taking a are you making money are you taking a percentage broker fee yeah I charge a

  11. percentage broker fee yeah I charge a percentage broker fee yeah I charge a broker fee or you charge yield spread so broker fee or you charge yield spread so broker fee or you charge yield spread so yield spread is let's say the interest yield spread is let's say the interest yield spread is let's say the interest rate is 8% interest if I charge them 25 rate is 8% interest if I charge them 25 rate is 8% interest if I charge them 25 basis points over the 8% so I charge basis points over the 8% so I charge basis points over the 8% so I charge them 8 and a quarter you know 8.25 then them 8 and a quarter you know 8.25 then them 8 and a quarter you know 8.25 then I get 1% of the loan back as a fee so if I get 1% of the loan back as a fee so if I get 1% of the loan back as a fee so if I charge them I charge them I charge them 85% I get two points back so if it's a 85% I get two points back so if it's a 85% I get two points back so if it's a $100,000 piece of property and the bank $100,000 piece of property and the bank $100,000 piece of property and the bank says your interest rate is going to be says your interest rate is going to be says your interest rate is going to be 8% and I tell you 8% and I tell you 8% and I tell you 8.5 and I'm charging you a $3,500 broker 8.5 and I'm charging you a $3,500 broker 8.5 and I'm charging you a $3,500 broker fee now I'm making fee now I'm making fee now I'm making $5,500 so on even a $100,000 loan you $5,500 so on even a $100,000 loan you $5,500 so on even a $100,000 loan you could make a nice chunk of change I mean could make a nice chunk of change I mean could make a nice chunk of change I mean it's so how much gray area is here you it's so how much gray area is here you it's so how much gray area is here you said that there really isn't when you're said that there really isn't when you're said that there really isn't when you're lying or not but I mean you're feels lying or not but I mean you're feels lying or not but I mean you're feels like there is it well every time I like there is it well every time I like there is it well every time I changed something it wasn't gray area I changed something it wasn't gray area I changed something it wasn't gray area I just committed I just committed fraud at just committed I just committed fraud at just committed I just committed fraud at this level you're either you either meet this level you're either you either meet this level you're either you either meet the guidelines or someone has massaged the guidelines or someone has massaged the guidelines or someone has massaged it in such a way that they've committed it in such a way that they've committed it in such a way that they've committed fraud that's it and there's now there's fraud that's it and there's now there's fraud that's it and there's now there's there's tons of ways where you can there's tons of ways where you can there's tons of ways where you can commit fraud commit fraud commit fraud and they just can't figure it out does and they just can't figure it out does and they just can't figure it out does that make sense like I I mean I've that make sense like I I mean I've that make sense like I I mean I've you've committed fraud and it's like you've committed fraud and it's like you've committed fraud and it's like they've look at the entire they look at they've look at the entire they look at they've look at the entire they look at all the documents and they double check all the documents and they double check all the documents and they double check everything and they know there's fraud everything and they know there's fraud everything and they know there's fraud in here they just can't find it just in here they just can't find it just in here they just can't find it just because they can't find it doesn't mean because they can't find it doesn't mean because they can't find it doesn't mean doesn't mean it was exactly doesn't mean doesn't mean it was exactly doesn't mean doesn't mean it was exactly doesn't mean it wasn't fraud as part of this you did it wasn't fraud as part of this you did it wasn't fraud as part of this you did a lot of fascinating things one of the

  20. a blank form and then they actually show a blank form and then they actually show you what it looks like filled out like a you what it looks like filled out like a you what it looks like filled out like a handwritten one filled out so I knew if handwritten one filled out so I knew if handwritten one filled out so I knew if he was born this day he got these shots he was born this day he got these shots he was born this day he got these shots U two months later he got these shot six U two months later he got these shot six U two months later he got these shot six months later he got these shot so I just months later he got these shot so I just months later he got these shot so I just filled it out I even had to order a a filled it out I even had to order a a filled it out I even had to order a a seal so you have to have a seal that seal so you have to have a seal that seal so you have to have a seal that says like Hillsboro County vital says like Hillsboro County vital says like Hillsboro County vital statistics or Richland County vital statistics or Richland County vital statistics or Richland County vital statistics or something and I couldn't statistics or something and I couldn't statistics or something and I couldn't get anybody to make that so I changed it get anybody to make that so I changed it get anybody to make that so I changed it to like Richland County Office of to like Richland County Office of to like Richland County Office of virtual um records and then I took like virtual um records and then I took like virtual um records and then I took like 220 grit sandpaper and and and hit it 220 grit sandpaper and and and hit it 220 grit sandpaper and and and hit it over and over and over again to wear it over and over and over again to wear it over and over and over again to wear it down and then I State you know I did the down and then I State you know I did the down and then I State you know I did the embossment on the on the corner and you embossment on the on the corner and you embossment on the on the corner and you know I printed it on the security paper know I printed it on the security paper know I printed it on the security paper embossed it nobody looks at those things embossed it nobody looks at those things embossed it nobody looks at those things you could see Richland County you know you could see Richland County you know you could see Richland County you know you you could kind of see that and you you could kind of see that and you you could kind of see that and really they just grab it and they go really they just grab it and they go really they just grab it and they go like this this is what you realize after like this this is what you realize after like this this is what you realize after you when I started getting started you when I started getting started you when I started getting started getting uh driver's licenses issu issued getting uh driver's licenses issu issued getting uh driver's licenses issu issued by uh by the State DMV right the state I by uh by the State DMV right the state I by uh by the State DMV right the state I I figured out eventually it was easier I figured out eventually it was easier I figured out eventually it was easier to just go into the DMV and have them to just go into the DMV and have them to just go into the DMV and have them give me a a driver's license then give me a a driver's license then give me a a driver's license then actually make one so but you notice they actually make one so but you notice they actually make one so but you notice they would just grab the thing they'd feel would just grab the thing they'd feel would just grab the thing they'd feel the form and go okay like they don't the form and go okay like they don't the form and go okay like they don't even look at it so which is upsetting if even look at it so which is upsetting if even look at it so which is upsetting if you put as much work into these you put as much work into these you put as much work into these documents as I am for them to go okay documents as I am for them to go okay documents as I am for them to go okay yeah that's good sit over there I felt yeah that's good sit over there I felt yeah that's good sit over there I felt like going like hey bro like take a look like going like hey bro like take a look like going like hey bro like take a look at this this is artwork yeah but they're at this this is artwork yeah but they're at this this is artwork yeah but they're looking for the lwh hanging fruit of

  21. looking for the lwh hanging fruit of looking for the lwh hanging fruit of crappy fraud right yeah this stuff was crappy fraud right yeah this stuff was crappy fraud right yeah this stuff was right through so okay so so birth right through so okay so so birth right through so okay so so birth certificate gets you a uh Social certificate gets you a uh Social certificate gets you a uh Social Security number so it's it's it's Security number so it's it's it's Security number so it's it's it's interesting because you've also you interesting because you've also you interesting because you've also you you've done a lot of different you've done a lot of different you've done a lot of different approaches to um creating synthetic approaches to um creating synthetic approaches to um creating synthetic people there's homeless people involved people there's homeless people involved people there's homeless people involved so sometimes it's grounded in real so sometimes it's grounded in real so sometimes it's grounded in real people or real people or real people or real names and then you're right like some names and then you're right like some names and then you're right like some part part is fake some part is real part part is fake some part is real part part is fake some part is real sometimes and sometimes it's completely sometimes and sometimes it's completely sometimes and sometimes it's completely all fake right cuz now I have the name I all fake right cuz now I have the name I all fake right cuz now I have the name I have the social security number and have the social security number and have the social security number and what's great is they mail you what's what's great is they mail you what's what's great is they mail you what's even better is you get then you get to even better is you get then you get to even better is you get then you get to pick whatever name you want you know pick whatever name you want you know pick whatever name you want you know because when you pick your child's name because when you pick your child's name because when you pick your child's name he doesn't even have to have your last he doesn't even have to have your last he doesn't even have to have your last name you pick any name so I would pick a name you pick any name so I would pick a name you pick any name so I would pick a name and I'd just say oh my wife's last name and I'd just say oh my wife's last name and I'd just say oh my wife's last name is this if it they question it name is this if it they question it name is this if it they question it which they never did but you know I've which they never did but you know I've which they never did but you know I've got a social security number and then I got a social security number and then I got a social security number and then I would go apply for credit cards and i' would go apply for credit cards and i' would go apply for credit cards and i' get denied of course but they would all get denied of course but they would all get denied of course but they would all offer me a secured credit card so I I'd offer me a secured credit card so I I'd offer me a secured credit card so I I'd then fill out the secured credit card then fill out the secured credit card then fill out the secured credit card and i' send them send the bank the money and i' send them send the bank the money and i' send them send the bank the money and they would give me a secured credit and they would give me a secured credit and they would give me a secured credit card for $500 $300 1,000 whatever it was card for $500 $300 1,000 whatever it was card for $500 $300 1,000 whatever it was and then once you start making the and then once you start making the and then once you start making the payments I pulled the credit and a payments I pulled the credit and a payments I pulled the credit and a credit profile shows up saying that this credit profile shows up saying that this credit profile shows up saying that this 31y old 31y old 31y old man with a social security number that I man with a social security number that I man with a social security number that I know was issued you know a couple months know was issued you know a couple months know was issued you know a couple months ago has three three credit cards they ago has three three credit cards they ago has three three credit cards they don't even say secure they just say don't even say secure they just say don't even say secure they just say there's like this credit card is $500 it

  24. what I end up doing and and so each one what I end up doing and and so each one of those identities was of those identities was of those identities was worth you know a few million can you worth you know a few million can you worth you know a few million can you explain how that works so uh to leverage explain how that works so uh to leverage explain how that works so uh to leverage them against property so how does that them against property so how does that them against property so how does that work with the mortgage so what I did work with the mortgage so what I did work with the mortgage so what I did eventually I mean this would like is eventually I mean this would like is eventually I mean this would like is down the road but you know I mean at down the road but you know I mean at down the road but you know I mean at this point when things are just my whole this point when things are just my whole this point when things are just my whole life had kind of gone off the The life had kind of gone off the The life had kind of gone off the The Rails I was on federal probation and and Rails I was on federal probation and and Rails I was on federal probation and and so what I did decided I was going to do so what I did decided I was going to do so what I did decided I was going to do was start running a scam a much larger was start running a scam a much larger was start running a scam a much larger scam and what I was going to do was it I scam and what I was going to do was it I scam and what I was going to do was it I was going to start flipping properties was going to start flipping properties was going to start flipping properties right like buy houses cheap fix them up right like buy houses cheap fix them up right like buy houses cheap fix them up and sell them there's an area of Tampa and sell them there's an area of Tampa and sell them there's an area of Tampa called eore called eore called eore City so I was going to start flipping City so I was going to start flipping City so I was going to start flipping houses in eore city and you know I houses in eore city and you know I houses in eore city and you know I thought okay I can I can buy these thought okay I can I can buy these thought okay I can I can buy these houses for you could buy a really crappy houses for you could buy a really crappy houses for you could buy a really crappy house at that time for 50 $60,000 let's house at that time for 50 $60,000 let's house at that time for 50 $60,000 let's say 50 and then you could put $25,000 say 50 and then you could put $25,000 say 50 and then you could put $25,000 into it in renovations you could into it in renovations you could into it in renovations you could renovate it for 25 and maybe you could renovate it for 25 and maybe you could renovate it for 25 and maybe you could get an appraisal for a get an appraisal for a get an appraisal for a hundred so I thought what I could do is hundred so I thought what I could do is hundred so I thought what I could do is I I I can I can buy these houses renovate them can I can buy these houses renovate them can I can buy these houses renovate them and sell them to you know regular and sell them to you know regular and sell them to you know regular people but I also had been working on people but I also had been working on people but I also had been working on the synthetic identities the synthetic identities the synthetic identities and then I thought well or I could just and then I thought well or I could just and then I thought well or I could just sell them to synthetic identities and sell them to synthetic identities and sell them to synthetic identities and then I wouldn't have to dump 25,000 into then I wouldn't have to dump 25,000 into then I wouldn't have to dump 25,000 into it right and these guys are perfect they

  25. it right and these guys are perfect they it right and these guys are perfect they have perfect credit I can provide W2s have perfect credit I can provide W2s have perfect credit I can provide W2s and pay stubs because by this point I'm and pay stubs because by this point I'm and pay stubs because by this point I'm manufacturing manufacturing manufacturing businesses so I've got I've got I've businesses so I've got I've got I've businesses so I've got I've got I've Incorporated businesses I've got Incorporated businesses I've got Incorporated businesses I've got websites for the businesses W2s payub so websites for the businesses W2s payub so websites for the businesses W2s payub so these guys have these guys look perfect these guys have these guys look perfect these guys have these guys look perfect so I figure I'll buy these properties so I figure I'll buy these properties so I figure I'll buy these properties for 50,000 sell it to these guys for 100 for 50,000 sell it to these guys for 100 for 50,000 sell it to these guys for 100 maybe I'll pocket 40 or 50,000 I don't maybe I'll pocket 40 or 50,000 I don't maybe I'll pocket 40 or 50,000 I don't really have to do really have to do really have to do anything but that seemed shortsighted so anything but that seemed shortsighted so anything but that seemed shortsighted so I thought what' be even better is that I thought what' be even better is that I thought what' be even better is that if I did a little bit of Renovations and if I did a little bit of Renovations and if I did a little bit of Renovations and then I sold it for much higher maybe I then I sold it for much higher maybe I then I sold it for much higher maybe I put 10,000 clean up the outside of it put 10,000 clean up the outside of it put 10,000 clean up the outside of it because these guys don't care what the because these guys don't care what the because these guys don't care what the inside of of the property it looks like inside of of the property it looks like inside of of the property it looks like you know they they're not they don't you know they they're not they don't you know they they're not they don't exist exist exist so and then I but I can't how am I going so and then I but I can't how am I going so and then I but I can't how am I going to get an appraisal for $100,000 well do you you know how $100,000 well do you you know how appraisals work okay so the Bank sends appraisals work okay so the Bank sends appraisals work okay so the Bank sends an appraiser out or at that time you an appraiser out or at that time you an appraiser out or at that time you could provide an appraisal they can could provide an appraisal they can could provide an appraisal they can review it so they'll do what's called a review it so they'll do what's called a review it so they'll do what's called a Desktop review they review it they Desktop review they review it they Desktop review they review it they review it review it review it on um on the computer they never go out on um on the computer they never go out on um on the computer they never go out to the property or they send someone out to the property or they send someone out to the property or they send someone out they they call that you know it's like a they they call that you know it's like a they they call that you know it's like a field review they send someone out and field review they send someone out and field review they send someone out and they just look at the house they don't they just look at the house they don't they just look at the house they don't go in it though so I have to clean out go in it though so I have to clean out go in it though so I have to clean out the clean up the outside of the house so the clean up the outside of the house so the clean up the outside of the house so what I did was but the problem is is if what I did was but the problem is is if what I did was but the problem is is if your house is you're trying to sell that your house is you're trying to sell that your house is you're trying to sell that house for let's say 200,000 the other house for let's say 200,000 the other house for let's say 200,000 the other houses they have to pick three houses they have to pick three houses they have to pick three comparable sales in the area that are

  26. comparable sales in the area that are comparable sales in the area that are also going to support a a also going to support a a also going to support a a $200,000 sales price well there's no $200,000 sales price well there's no $200,000 sales price well there's no other house is selling for 200,000 near other house is selling for 200,000 near other house is selling for 200,000 near this house so I thought if I want to get this house so I thought if I want to get this house so I thought if I want to get these things apprais for 200 these things apprais for 200 these things apprais for 200 250,000 I have to have comparable sales 250,000 I have to have comparable sales 250,000 I have to have comparable sales and that appraisal is going to be and that appraisal is going to be and that appraisal is going to be reviewed reviewed reviewed so what I did so what I did so what I did was I started I went out and I bought was I started I went out and I bought was I started I went out and I bought this house for this house for this house for 50,000 50,000 50,000 and I recorded the sale at and I recorded the sale at and I recorded the sale at 200,000 So when you buy a house for 200,000 So when you buy a house for 200,000 So when you buy a house for $100,000 you pay $700 in dock $100,000 you pay $700 in dock $100,000 you pay $700 in dock stamps but if you pay the extra an extra stamps but if you pay the extra an extra stamps but if you pay the extra an extra 700 bucks the sale shows up for 700 bucks the sale shows up for 700 bucks the sale shows up for $200,000 I'm buying these things for 50 $200,000 I'm buying these things for 50 $200,000 I'm buying these things for 50 so I'm paying $350 and I'm just paying so I'm paying $350 and I'm just paying so I'm paying $350 and I'm just paying an an extra an an extra an an extra $1,00 $1,00 $1,00 50 so I'm so it ends up being you know 50 so I'm so it ends up being you know 50 so I'm so it ends up being you know $1,400 but the but the sale shows up at $1,400 but the but the sale shows up at $1,400 but the but the sale shows up at $ 200,000 on a house that's a a crack $ 200,000 on a house that's a a crack $ 200,000 on a house that's a a crack house I bought for house I bought for house I bought for $50,000 now I go I trim the trees we mow $50,000 now I go I trim the trees we mow $50,000 now I go I trim the trees we mow the yard we clean up the porch we put the yard we clean up the porch we put the yard we clean up the porch we put the porch rail on maybe we paint it real the porch rail on maybe we paint it real the porch rail on maybe we paint it real nice we black out all the windows you nice we black out all the windows you nice we black out all the windows you can't see inside um but from the from can't see inside um but from the from can't see inside um but from the from the curb it looks great and I get an the curb it looks great and I get an the curb it looks great and I get an appraisal so I do that with that house I appraisal so I do that with that house I appraisal so I do that with that house I do that with another house all within a do that with another house all within a do that with another house all within a mile so I buy four houses knowing I can mile so I buy four houses knowing I can mile so I buy four houses knowing I can use the all there's a subject and three

  27. use the all there's a subject and three use the all there's a subject and three comparables for all of them so the first comparables for all of them so the first comparables for all of them so the first thing I did is I bought four houses for thing I did is I bought four houses for thing I did is I bought four houses for 50,000 60,000 40,000 and I recorded the 50,000 60,000 40,000 and I recorded the 50,000 60,000 40,000 and I recorded the values at you know 210 200 values at you know 210 200 values at you know 210 200 190 so I get an appraiser to come out 190 so I get an appraiser to come out 190 so I get an appraiser to come out there he appraises it he said of course there he appraises it he said of course there he appraises it he said of course he says it's horrible but there's he says it's horrible but there's he says it's horrible but there's comparables here now of course it is in comparables here now of course it is in comparables here now of course it is in bad shape and he says it's in bad shape bad shape and he says it's in bad shape bad shape and he says it's in bad shape but I I go ahead and I correct all that but I I go ahead and I correct all that but I I go ahead and I correct all that so I correct it so now if you if you so I correct it so now if you if you so I correct it so now if you if you review the appraisal and you're in review the appraisal and you're in review the appraisal and you're in California or even if you drive your car California or even if you drive your car California or even if you drive your car down your the appraiser comes to the down your the appraiser comes to the down your the appraiser comes to the house and looks at it from the street it house and looks at it from the street it house and looks at it from the street it looks fine but the truth is I've got looks fine but the truth is I've got looks fine but the truth is I've got $60,000 into this property and you're $60,000 into this property and you're $60,000 into this property and you're appraising it for $200,000 so the bank's appraising it for $200,000 so the bank's appraising it for $200,000 so the bank's ready not they're not going to lend 200 ready not they're not going to lend 200 ready not they're not going to lend 200 but they'll lend 190 so the bank is but they'll lend 190 so the bank is but they'll lend 190 so the bank is ready to lend ready to lend ready to lend this synthetic this synthetic this synthetic borrower $190,000 on a house that I have borrower $190,000 on a house that I have borrower $190,000 on a house that I have $60,000 in so I walk so I schedule a $60,000 in so I walk so I schedule a $60,000 in so I walk so I schedule a closing and we close on the house and I closing and we close on the house and I closing and we close on the house and I walk away with walk away with walk away with $60,000 you know and and the thing is $60,000 you know and and the thing is $60,000 you know and and the thing is like the problem was is by the time I like the problem was is by the time I like the problem was is by the time I got to this point I knew so many people got to this point I knew so many people got to this point I knew so many people in the industry I nobody had to really in the industry I nobody had to really in the industry I nobody had to really at that point show up although I've had at that point show up although I've had at that point show up although I've had people show up for the synthetic inds people show up for the synthetic inds people show up for the synthetic inds and signed for them almost all the and signed for them almost all the and signed for them almost all the closings nobody ever showed up I just closings nobody ever showed up I just closings nobody ever showed up I just showed up and said to the title uh to showed up and said to the title uh to showed up and said to the title uh to the title agency and said hey my

  32. he died you know but I thought I don't he died you know but I thought I don't know like what if you know like some of know like what if you know like some of know like what if you know like some of these places had like you know uh you these places had like you know uh you these places had like you know uh you know primary mortgage insurance like know primary mortgage insurance like know primary mortgage insurance like what if the primary mortgage insurance what if the primary mortgage insurance what if the primary mortgage insurance like what if they try and claim cuz he like what if they try and claim cuz he like what if they try and claim cuz he was dead or like I don't know I don't was dead or like I don't know I don't was dead or like I don't know I don't know that side I'm like I don't want to know that side I'm like I don't want to know that side I'm like I don't want to do that I want to do something that's do that I want to do something that's do that I want to do something that's semi- verifiable and third party it's semi- verifiable and third party it's semi- verifiable and third party it's like a third party telling you this is like a third party telling you this is like a third party telling you this is what happened I thought well like the what happened I thought well like the what happened I thought well like the newspaper you know and you know or do I newspaper you know and you know or do I newspaper you know and you know or do I claim bankruptcy and I've done that I've claim bankruptcy and I've done that I've claim bankruptcy and I've done that I've gone and got the bankruptcy forms right gone and got the bankruptcy forms right gone and got the bankruptcy forms right you can go to the bankruptcy court and you can go to the bankruptcy court and you can go to the bankruptcy court and they'll give you forms to mail to all of they'll give you forms to mail to all of they'll give you forms to mail to all of your uh creditors and you mail them they your uh creditors and you mail them they your uh creditors and you mail them they stop contacting they wait to be no stop contacting they wait to be no stop contacting they wait to be no located by or notified by the bankruptcy located by or notified by the bankruptcy located by or notified by the bankruptcy court but my fear there is you know uh court but my fear there is you know uh court but my fear there is you know uh nobody's ever going to notify them like nobody's ever going to notify them like nobody's ever going to notify them like I'm not going through bankruptcy for one I'm not going through bankruptcy for one I'm not going through bankruptcy for one of these guys so it was like this is a of these guys so it was like this is a of these guys so it was like this is a this is a better bet than just writing a this is a better bet than just writing a this is a better bet than just writing a letter saying I'm going through a letter saying I'm going through a letter saying I'm going through a divorce my wife's keeping those houses divorce my wife's keeping those houses divorce my wife's keeping those houses that's her problem you know you could do that's her problem you know you could do that's her problem you know you could do there's lots of things you could do but there's lots of things you could do but there's lots of things you could do but to me this was they're not going to try to me this was they're not going to try to me this was they're not going to try and how do you how do you shut it down and how do you how do you shut it down and how do you how do you shut it down without him dying how do you shut that without him dying how do you shut that without him dying how do you shut that down this is how you shut it down he's down this is how you shut it down he's down this is how you shut it down he's in a coma he'll never work in a coma he'll never work in a coma he'll never work again he was in a car accident here's again he was in a car accident here's again he was in a car accident here's the proof he can't even write you I'm a the proof he can't even write you I'm a the proof he can't even write you I'm a sister I wrote you the letter it's a sister I wrote you the letter it's a sister I wrote you the letter it's a one-time letter that seems to um tie up one-time letter that seems to um tie up one-time letter that seems to um tie up all all all exactly you know I can only know the ex exactly you know I can only know the ex exactly you know I can only know the ex exactly how that you know what sparked exactly how that you know what sparked exactly how that you know what sparked that is as much as there were so many

  33. that is as much as there were so many that is as much as there were so many other avenues that I could have gone other avenues that I could have gone other avenues that I could have gone that I was I just didn't know I but you that I was I just didn't know I but you that I was I just didn't know I but you were thinking through all those were thinking through all those were thinking through all those different Avenues are you mostly different Avenues are you mostly different Avenues are you mostly thinking thinking thinking alone I mean you know I had guys that I alone I mean you know I had guys that I alone I mean you know I had guys that I was bouncing ideas ideas off of there was bouncing ideas ideas off of there was bouncing ideas ideas off of there were other guys that were involved in were other guys that were involved in were other guys that were involved in the scam you know everybody I think that the scam you know everybody I think that the scam you know everybody I think that scam ended up making like I think the scam ended up making like I think the scam ended up making like I think the FBI said it was like 11 and a half FBI said it was like 11 and a half FBI said it was like 11 and a half million or something and and you know million or something and and you know million or something and and you know but but there were so many other people but but there were so many other people but but there were so many other people that were involved in that scam that that were involved in that scam that that were involved in that scam that were you know this guy's getting 50 this were you know this guy's getting 50 this were you know this guy's getting 50 this guy's getting 20 you know 177,000 20,000 guy's getting 20 you know 177,000 20,000 guy's getting 20 you know 177,000 20,000 25,000 and you know the we're just doing 25,000 and you know the we're just doing 25,000 and you know the we're just doing it constantly and so the bank would it constantly and so the bank would it constantly and so the bank would foreclose on that property they'd take foreclose on that property they'd take foreclose on that property they'd take it it it back they' put it back on the MLS they back they' put it back on the MLS they back they' put it back on the MLS they put it back on the MLS for 100 for put it back on the MLS for 100 for put it back on the MLS for 100 for 200,000 it wouldn't sell then they drop 200,000 it wouldn't sell then they drop 200,000 it wouldn't sell then they drop it to you know 150 wouldn't sell then it to you know 150 wouldn't sell then it to you know 150 wouldn't sell then they drop it to 125 130 wouldn't sell they drop it to 125 130 wouldn't sell they drop it to 125 130 wouldn't sell they drop it to 90 and somebody buy it they drop it to 90 and somebody buy it they drop it to 90 and somebody buy it for like 90 it wasn't worth 90 but by for like 90 it wasn't worth 90 but by for like 90 it wasn't worth 90 but by that point that whole area had we' done that point that whole area had we' done that point that whole area had we' done so many houses at that point the whole so many houses at that point the whole so many houses at that point the whole area shot up and the the FBI said uh we area shot up and the the FBI said uh we area shot up and the the FBI said uh we did 1009 houses I don't think that's did 1009 houses I don't think that's did 1009 houses I don't think that's true true true but wow we we when I end up leaving but wow we we when I end up leaving but wow we we when I end up leaving Tampa after that scam falls apart and Tampa after that scam falls apart and Tampa after that scam falls apart and the FBI shows up Forbes came out with an the FBI shows up Forbes came out with an the FBI shows up Forbes came out with an article whatever six months later and article whatever six months later and article whatever six months later and they they they said that the ebore City ZIP code was said that the ebore City ZIP code was said that the ebore City ZIP code was one of the top 20 fastest growing um one of the top 20 fastest growing um one of the top 20 fastest growing um appraising areas in the country and you

  42. him like 75 grand um and he started to him like 75 grand um and he started to have me convinced initially he had me have me convinced initially he had me have me convinced initially he had me convinced I was probably going to go to convinced I was probably going to go to convinced I was probably going to go to jail for a few years but really that's jail for a few years but really that's jail for a few years but really that's what they kind of do to justify you what they kind of do to justify you what they kind of do to justify you giving them $775,000 right and then but giving them $775,000 right and then but giving them $775,000 right and then but the more I thought about it that you the more I thought about it that you the more I thought about it that you know and and and read he gave me the know and and and read he gave me the know and and and read he gave me the guidelines that that supposedly I had guidelines that that supposedly I had guidelines that that supposedly I had I had um you know the the fraud that I I had um you know the the fraud that I I had um you know the the fraud that I had committed and what the guy and the had committed and what the guy and the had committed and what the guy and the guidelines that overs saw that um and I guidelines that overs saw that um and I guidelines that overs saw that um and I read it and I was like I'm not really in read it and I was like I'm not really in read it and I was like I'm not really in trouble here because I'm looking at a trouble here because I'm looking at a trouble here because I'm looking at a felony but I'm not going to go to jail felony but I'm not going to go to jail felony but I'm not going to go to jail because there was no potential for the because there was no potential for the because there was no potential for the bank to lend to lose money bank to lend to lose money bank to lend to lose money so because I bought the house with like so because I bought the house with like so because I bought the house with like a hard money loan and then I renovated a hard money loan and then I renovated a hard money loan and then I renovated it with my own cash and when I sold it it with my own cash and when I sold it it with my own cash and when I sold it it appraised at it appraised at it appraised at 250,000 my my uh ex-wife borrowed like 250,000 my my uh ex-wife borrowed like 250,000 my my uh ex-wife borrowed like 180 so there's plenty of of equity if 180 so there's plenty of of equity if 180 so there's plenty of of equity if the whole thing had gone into the whole thing had gone into the whole thing had gone into foreclosure they still would have got foreclosure they still would have got foreclosure they still would have got their money back and to be honest by the their money back and to be honest by the their money back and to be honest by the time all of this happened there was only time all of this happened there was only time all of this happened there was only like three of the three properties it like three of the three properties it like three of the three properties it was like five but we'd already sold a was like five but we'd already sold a was like five but we'd already sold a few and at this point we' just sold few and at this point we' just sold few and at this point we' just sold another two there's like one or two another two there's like one or two another two there's like one or two properties left so we're selling at that properties left so we're selling at that properties left so we're selling at that moment we were selling them so I I was moment we were selling them so I I was moment we were selling them so I I was like no I kind of argue with them but like no I kind of argue with them but like no I kind of argue with them but then he wanted 75 grand I gave him 75 then he wanted 75 grand I gave him 75 then he wanted 75 grand I gave him 75 grand and then he comes back and he says grand and then he comes back and he says grand and then he comes back and he says good news there was no potential fraud good news there was no potential fraud good news there was no potential fraud so I can get you three years now here's so I can get you three years now here's so I can get you three years now here's the thing here's here's what I always the thing here's here's what I always the thing here's here's what I always kind of look back kind of look back kind of look back at when I first got went into his office at when I first got went into his office at when I first got went into his office he he he said he said listen you haven't been

  43. said he said listen you haven't been said he said listen you haven't been indicted yet I spoke with the FBI I indicted yet I spoke with the FBI I indicted yet I spoke with the FBI I spoke with the US spoke with the US spoke with the US attorney they believe and they've been attorney they believe and they've been attorney they believe and they've been told and he said look they didn't tell told and he said look they didn't tell told and he said look they didn't tell me exactly what they have but they said me exactly what they have but they said me exactly what they have but they said with the the evidence that they have on with the the evidence that they have on with the the evidence that they have on you based on two confidential informants you based on two confidential informants you based on two confidential informants that it's you cannot go to trial and I that it's you cannot go to trial and I that it's you cannot go to trial and I was like right of course I knew that and was like right of course I knew that and was like right of course I knew that and I was like okay he said I was like okay he said I was like okay he said but he said you haven't been indicted but he said you haven't been indicted but he said you haven't been indicted yet and they are fairly certain that yet and they are fairly certain that yet and they are fairly certain that you're running um a mill right a fraud you're running um a mill right a fraud you're running um a mill right a fraud Mill over there and you guys are Mill over there and you guys are Mill over there and you guys are churning out fraudulent loans now they churning out fraudulent loans now they churning out fraudulent loans now they can't come and they can't come and rage can't come and they can't come and rage can't come and they can't come and rage your office and do anything about it yet your office and do anything about it yet your office and do anything about it yet because so far they only have you but because so far they only have you but because so far they only have you but here's what I'm saying is that he Saidi here's what I'm saying is that he Saidi here's what I'm saying is that he Saidi can keep you from being can keep you from being can keep you from being indicted it's called um pre-trial it's a indicted it's called um pre-trial it's a indicted it's called um pre-trial it's a pre-trial pre-trial pre-trial intervention where we go in and what intervention where we go in and what intervention where we go in and what we'll do what we'll do is you go you we'll do what we'll do is you go you we'll do what we'll do is you go you work you go in talk to the FBI you go work you go in talk to the FBI you go work you go in talk to the FBI you go grab a bunch of your mortgage broker grab a bunch of your mortgage broker grab a bunch of your mortgage broker most egregious most egregious most egregious files grab them bring those files to the files grab them bring those files to the files grab them bring those files to the FBI go work with the FBI they will FBI go work with the FBI they will FBI go work with the FBI they will indict them indict them indict them and you will not be indicted and I and you will not be indicted and I and you will not be indicted and I said which I I kick myself to this day I said which I I kick myself to this day I said which I I kick myself to this day I said absolutely not I'm not going to said absolutely not I'm not going to said absolutely not I'm not going to snitch on them I'm not going to snitch on them I'm not going to snitch on them I'm not going to cooperate I'm not going to you know I'd

  44. cooperate I'm not going to you know I'd cooperate I'm not going to you know I'd seen The Godfather you're not supposed seen The Godfather you're not supposed seen The Godfather you're not supposed to cooperate you're supposed to be loyal to cooperate you're supposed to be loyal to cooperate you're supposed to be loyal I'm not going to do any of that and you I'm not going to do any of that and you I'm not going to do any of that and you know and and so I say all of know and and so I say all of know and and so I say all of this where you know looking back like I this where you know looking back like I this where you know looking back like I would have if I could go back back in would have if I could go back back in would have if I could go back back in time I would have gone into our weekly time I would have gone into our weekly time I would have gone into our weekly meeting with a dolly and I would have meeting with a dolly and I would have meeting with a dolly and I would have walked in front of everybody and scooped walked in front of everybody and scooped walked in front of everybody and scooped up two or three of the file cabinets and up two or three of the file cabinets and up two or three of the file cabinets and put them in the back of a truck and said put them in the back of a truck and said put them in the back of a truck and said listen you guys are going to be talking listen you guys are going to be talking listen you guys are going to be talking to the FBI soon I suggest you get to the FBI soon I suggest you get to the FBI soon I suggest you get attorneys and I would have dri driven attorneys and I would have dri driven attorneys and I would have dri driven off but I didn't I thought no be off but I didn't I thought no be off but I didn't I thought no be loyal you know don't do that and and loyal you know don't do that and and loyal you know don't do that and and what happened what happened what happened was when my when the other thing Falls was when my when the other thing Falls was when my when the other thing Falls right when the next scam falls apart right when the next scam falls apart right when the next scam falls apart every one of these people go to the FBI every one of these people go to the FBI every one of these people go to the FBI like they're not even coming to them like they're not even coming to them like they're not even coming to them these guys are going to the FBI with these guys are going to the FBI with these guys are going to the FBI with lawyers I want to cooperate I want to lawyers I want to cooperate I want to lawyers I want to cooperate I want to tell you what Cox did I want to help I tell you what Cox did I want to help I tell you what Cox did I want to help I want to and I'm think like I never had want to and I'm think like I never had want to and I'm think like I never had to get indicted to begin with so you to get indicted to begin with so you to get indicted to begin with so you think that most of these people from think that most of these people from think that most of these people from your experience are going to uh your experience are going to uh your experience are going to uh sacrifice all integrity that's a funny sacrifice all integrity that's a funny sacrifice all integrity that's a funny word sacrifice sure that applies to this word sacrifice sure that applies to this word sacrifice sure that applies to this but but but that's they're going to sacrifice that's they're going to sacrifice that's they're going to sacrifice friendships and loyalty for just to save friendships and loyalty for just to save friendships and loyalty for just to save their own ass yeah that I only had one their own ass yeah that I only had one their own ass yeah that I only had one person that did not talk to the FBI I person that did not talk to the FBI I person that did not talk to the FBI I had one person that every time the FBI had one person that every time the FBI had one person that every time the FBI or the Secret Service went to that or the Secret Service went to that or the Secret Service went to that person's door she said don't come to my

  45. person's door she said don't come to my person's door she said don't come to my house again I don't have anything to say house again I don't have anything to say house again I don't have anything to say about about Matt I have nothing to do about about Matt I have nothing to do about about Matt I have nothing to do with any of this talk to my lawyer and with any of this talk to my lawyer and with any of this talk to my lawyer and this happened over and over again and this happened over and over again and this happened over and over again and that's my ex-wife she's a gangster so that's my ex-wife she's a gangster so that's my ex-wife she's a gangster so are there people in this world you are there people in this world you are there people in this world you trusted or you still trusted or you still trusted or you still trust I you know the the problem trust I you know the the problem trust I you know the the problem is eventually I is eventually I is eventually I cooperate cooperate cooperate and at the time I didn't want to and at the time I didn't want to and at the time I didn't want to cooperate I didn't believe in cooperate I didn't believe in cooperate I didn't believe in cooperation but after seeing how many cooperation but after seeing how many cooperation but after seeing how many people cooperate and the way the system people cooperate and the way the system people cooperate and the way the system is set up I think that my understanding is set up I think that my understanding is set up I think that my understanding of loyalty of loyalty of loyalty is vastly more realistic now and I think is vastly more realistic now and I think is vastly more realistic now and I think that if you're committing crime if if that if you're committing crime if if that if you're committing crime if if you're absolutely like the things I did you're absolutely like the things I did you're absolutely like the things I did I did a bunch of scumbag things you know I did a bunch of scumbag things you know I did a bunch of scumbag things you know I mean I'm not killing people but I'm I mean I'm not killing people but I'm I mean I'm not killing people but I'm doing scumbag things I'm lying cheating doing scumbag things I'm lying cheating doing scumbag things I'm lying cheating stealing that I'm a thief you know you stealing that I'm a thief you know you stealing that I'm a thief you know you boil down to it that's what I am so you boil down to it that's what I am so you boil down to it that's what I am so you can't go around behaving like a scumbag can't go around behaving like a scumbag can't go around behaving like a scumbag dealing with scumbags and then expect dealing with scumbags and then expect dealing with scumbags and then expect those same scumbags to those same scumbags to those same scumbags to suddenly abide by some kind of a street suddenly abide by some kind of a street suddenly abide by some kind of a street code and not roll over on you you know code and not roll over on you you know code and not roll over on you you know and it does happen but it's it's like in and it does happen but it's it's like in and it does happen but it's it's like in the it's in the 90 percentile of people the it's in the 90 percentile of people the it's in the 90 percentile of people that cooperate 90s something percent and

  46. that cooperate 90s something percent and that cooperate 90s something percent and people cooperate when they're not even people cooperate when they're not even people cooperate when they're not even looking at any real looking at any real looking at any real time so if you're looking at 30 years time so if you're looking at 30 years time so if you're looking at 30 years and and especially after going to prison and and especially after going to prison and and especially after going to prison you go to prison and it's like the this you go to prison and it's like the this you go to prison and it's like the this guy's a standup guy over here he got 30 guy's a standup guy over here he got 30 guy's a standup guy over here he got 30 years he could have cooperated against years he could have cooperated against years he could have cooperated against all of his codefendants but he all of his codefendants but he all of his codefendants but he didn't nobody comes to see him his wife didn't nobody comes to see him his wife didn't nobody comes to see him his wife divorced him you know his kids ended up divorced him you know his kids ended up divorced him you know his kids ended up in foster care his you know his his in foster care his you know his his in foster care his you know his his friends are are are cleaning out his friends are are are cleaning out his friends are are are cleaning out his house nobody puts money on his on his house nobody puts money on his on his house nobody puts money on his on his his books nobody comes to see him nobody his books nobody comes to see him nobody his books nobody comes to see him nobody answers his phone nothing he took 30 answers his phone nothing he took 30 answers his phone nothing he took 30 years most of those guys turned around years most of those guys turned around years most of those guys turned around they end up getting indicted for other they end up getting indicted for other they end up getting indicted for other things years later they things years later they things years later they cooperate and the best thing this guy's cooperate and the best thing this guy's cooperate and the best thing this guy's got going for him is that he can walk got going for him is that he can walk got going for him is that he can walk around and say well he's a stand-up guy around and say well he's a stand-up guy around and say well he's a stand-up guy that guy's going to the same halfway that guy's going to the same halfway that guy's going to the same halfway house as me he's probably he's going to house as me he's probably he's going to house as me he's probably he's going to do 30 years where I'm going to do 10 do 30 years where I'm going to do 10 do 30 years where I'm going to do 10 standup guy meaning he never snitched standup guy meaning he never snitched standup guy meaning he never snitched right and so everybody's seeing right and so everybody's seeing right and so everybody's seeing this example and saying well I'm going this example and saying well I'm going this example and saying well I'm going to snitch then but it it sounds like to snitch then but it it sounds like to snitch then but it it sounds like what people are doing is they're uh what people are doing is they're uh what people are doing is they're uh signaling virtue signaling signaling virtue signaling signaling virtue signaling like there are they would never snitch like there are they would never snitch like there are they would never snitch and actually do secretly I mean what is and actually do secretly I mean what is and actually do secretly I mean what is it I I remember I talked to one of the it I I remember I talked to one of the it I I remember I talked to one of the cosos at the prison one time and he said cosos at the prison one time and he said cosos at the prison one time and he said uh he said I said shit I said 50% of the uh he said I said shit I said 50% of the uh he said I said shit I said 50% of the guys here snitched he goes there more guys here snitched he goes there more guys here snitched he goes there more than that he said but listen he go 100%

  74. there's almost no money's ever recouped there's almost no money's ever recouped and so we end up uh they put me on hold and so we end up uh they put me on hold and so we end up uh they put me on hold again they come back and they go how again they come back and they go how again they come back and they go how quickly can you get us a cashier quickly can you get us a cashier quickly can you get us a cashier check and I go like that day I go get check and I go like that day I go get check and I go like that day I go get them a cashier check overnight the them a cashier check overnight the them a cashier check overnight the cashier check they never called the FBI cashier check they never called the FBI cashier check they never called the FBI they never did anything now at that they never did anything now at that they never did anything now at that point we actually ditched that whole point we actually ditched that whole point we actually ditched that whole that uh James or Allan Duncan I remember that uh James or Allan Duncan I remember that uh James or Allan Duncan I remember at that point we went to the mall ran up at that point we went to the mall ran up at that point we went to the mall ran up all the credit cards and just threw all the credit cards and just threw all the credit cards and just threw everything away and walked away because everything away and walked away because everything away and walked away because it was shot you know that whole that guy it was shot you know that whole that guy it was shot you know that whole that guy was shot I think we borrowed whatever was shot I think we borrowed whatever was shot I think we borrowed whatever $800,000 or 900,000 in his name so with $800,000 or 900,000 in his name so with $800,000 or 900,000 in his name so with the banks it's really really all about the banks it's really really all about the banks it's really really all about the money that listen when I go on the the money that listen when I go on the the money that listen when I go on the run I got one where I was caught so run I got one where I was caught so run I got one where I was caught so red-handed red-handed red-handed it's it's insane how how bad it was and it's it's insane how how bad it was and it's it's insane how how bad it was and and listen that's not that's nothing I I and listen that's not that's nothing I I and listen that's not that's nothing I I got caught by um uh Washington Mutual got caught by um uh Washington Mutual got caught by um uh Washington Mutual one time I was caught by Washington one time I was caught by Washington one time I was caught by Washington Mutual where we had done six owner Mutual where we had done six owner Mutual where we had done six owner occupied occupied occupied duplexes so if you say you're going to duplexes so if you say you're going to duplexes so if you say you're going to live in a house you can get about 95% live in a house you can get about 95% live in a house you can get about 95% financing but if it's an investment financing but if it's an investment financing but if it's an investment property you got to put down 20% you get property you got to put down 20% you get property you got to put down 20% you get about 80% financing about 80% financing about 80% financing so a buddy of mine who was a sheriff's so a buddy of mine who was a sheriff's so a buddy of mine who was a sheriff's deputy we had his wife deputy we had his wife deputy we had his wife by I'm going to say six owner occupied by I'm going to say six owner occupied by I'm going to say six owner occupied duplexes saying she lived in every duplexes saying she lived in every duplexes saying she lived in every single one of single one of single one of them well you can't owner occupy six them well you can't owner occupy six them well you can't owner occupy six dwellings like it that's fraud now now

  75. dwellings like it that's fraud now now dwellings like it that's fraud now now granted her W2s and pay subs were granted her W2s and pay subs were granted her W2s and pay subs were correct but she didn't put the down correct but she didn't put the down correct but she didn't put the down payments down even the down payments we payments down even the down payments we payments down even the down payments we didn't put down we actually got cash didn't put down we actually got cash didn't put down we actually got cash back but months later we the they called back but months later we the they called back but months later we the they called the a lawyer the a lawyer the a lawyer from um Washington Mutual ends up from um Washington Mutual ends up from um Washington Mutual ends up calling uh the mortgage broker and calling uh the mortgage broker and calling uh the mortgage broker and saying that they ended up with two of saying that they ended up with two of saying that they ended up with two of the owner occupied duplexes the owner occupied duplexes the owner occupied duplexes because Washington Mutual had a credit because Washington Mutual had a credit because Washington Mutual had a credit line extended to one of the lenders line extended to one of the lenders line extended to one of the lenders who'd lend the money so it actually was who'd lend the money so it actually was who'd lend the money so it actually was Washington Mutual so it was a couple Washington Mutual so it was a couple Washington Mutual so it was a couple months later when they went to sell sell months later when they went to sell sell months later when they went to sell sell it and a you know they packaged them it and a you know they packaged them it and a you know they packaged them together and sell them they realize we together and sell them they realize we together and sell them they realize we have the same customer with two duplexes have the same customer with two duplexes have the same customer with two duplexes side by side both owner occupied this is side by side both owner occupied this is side by side both owner occupied this is fraud so she comes in she tells me oh my fraud so she comes in she tells me oh my fraud so she comes in she tells me oh my gosh this lawyer's on the phone this is gosh this lawyer's on the phone this is gosh this lawyer's on the phone this is what happened I'm like oh wow this is what happened I'm like oh wow this is what happened I'm like oh wow this is horrible I end up getting on the phone horrible I end up getting on the phone horrible I end up getting on the phone with him we have a huge we have a with him we have a huge we have a with him we have a huge we have a conversation and I'm like you know he's conversation and I'm like you know he's conversation and I'm like you know he's like look you know this is a big deal we like look you know this is a big deal we like look you know this is a big deal we could call the FBI I'm like look who could call the FBI I'm like look who could call the FBI I'm like look who knows who was involved in this maybe knows who was involved in this maybe knows who was involved in this maybe somebody on your side was involved maybe somebody on your side was involved maybe somebody on your side was involved maybe somebody on my side I don't know what my somebody on my side I don't know what my somebody on my side I don't know what my mortgage broker did I'll deal with her mortgage broker did I'll deal with her mortgage broker did I'll deal with her on my own why don't you just let us on my own why don't you just let us on my own why don't you just let us refinance the properties not only did we refinance the properties not only did we refinance the properties not only did we talk him into refin allowing us to talk him into refin allowing us to talk him into refin allowing us to refinance the properties he gave us a refinance the properties he gave us a refinance the properties he gave us a reduced um a reduced balance of what we reduced um a reduced balance of what we reduced um a reduced balance of what we owed him because we couldn't we couldn't owed him because we couldn't we couldn't owed him because we couldn't we couldn't borrow enough to pay them off so they borrow enough to pay them off so they borrow enough to pay them off so they took like a $20,000 hit just to

  76. took like a $20,000 hit just to took like a $20,000 hit just to refinance those properties never called refinance those properties never called refinance those properties never called the FBI never did any was absolutely the FBI never did any was absolutely the FBI never did any was absolutely fraud MH I had I had a broker one time fraud MH I had I had a broker one time fraud MH I had I had a broker one time we got called with over a million we got called with over a million we got called with over a million dollars in loans that he had done that dollars in loans that he had done that dollars in loans that he had done that were were were fraudulent Pinnacle Bangor which was out fraudulent Pinnacle Bangor which was out fraudulent Pinnacle Bangor which was out of Chicago the owner called me and he of Chicago the owner called me and he of Chicago the owner called me and he was like look your mortgage broker did was like look your mortgage broker did was like look your mortgage broker did this like it was a bunch of uh canceled this like it was a bunch of uh canceled this like it was a bunch of uh canceled checks they were fake canceled checks so checks they were fake canceled checks so checks they were fake canceled checks so they looked like they had run through they looked like they had run through they looked like they had run through the bank for the somebody's rent mhm the bank for the somebody's rent mhm the bank for the somebody's rent mhm but they hadn't does that make sense but they hadn't does that make sense but they hadn't does that make sense like you pay your rent they deposit it like you pay your rent they deposit it like you pay your rent they deposit it it goes to the bank and they've got all it goes to the bank and they've got all it goes to the bank and they've got all the numbers and everything well I had a the numbers and everything well I had a the numbers and everything well I had a bunch that were blank that all you had bunch that were blank that all you had bunch that were blank that all you had to do was fill out your your borrower to do was fill out your your borrower to do was fill out your your borrower information and then you cut and pasted information and then you cut and pasted information and then you cut and pasted his full his name and his address at the his full his name and his address at the his full his name and his address at the upper leftand corner you make a copy of upper leftand corner you make a copy of upper leftand corner you make a copy of it it looks like canceled checks we had it it looks like canceled checks we had it it looks like canceled checks we had 24 of them well my one of my Brokers was 24 of them well my one of my Brokers was 24 of them well my one of my Brokers was using them for all of his files like using them for all of his files like using them for all of his files like even if the person really had a rental even if the person really had a rental even if the person really had a rental history he didn't want to order it he history he didn't want to order it he history he didn't want to order it he just did this it was easier faster yeah just did this it was easier faster yeah just did this it was easier faster yeah yeah just an idiot wow so they catch a yeah just an idiot wow so they catch a yeah just an idiot wow so they catch a million dollars worth of loans they call million dollars worth of loans they call million dollars worth of loans they call me up and then they caught another me up and then they caught another me up and then they caught another million but they had already sold them million but they had already sold them million but they had already sold them to Household Bank so while I'm on the to Household Bank so while I'm on the to Household Bank so while I'm on the phone with the the owner his name is phone with the the owner his name is phone with the the owner his name is Gary and we're talking he's like look Gary and we're talking he's like look Gary and we're talking he's like look this is what we found this is this this this is what we found this is this this this is what we found this is this this is what happened and I remember I said is what happened and I remember I said is what happened and I remember I said um Gary at the end of this conversation um Gary at the end of this conversation um Gary at the end of this conversation if you think I'm cutting you a check for if you think I'm cutting you a check for if you think I'm cutting you a check for a million dollars I said I just don't a million dollars I said I just don't a million dollars I said I just don't have it you don't have it this was when have it you don't have it this was when have it you don't have it this was when I owned the mortgage company and he says I owned the mortgage company and he says I owned the mortgage company and he says uh

  78. ably but I would say at this point it's ably but I would say at this point it's it's just as bad as it ever was and and it's just as bad as it ever was and and it's just as bad as it ever was and and keep in mind these a lot of the loans keep in mind these a lot of the loans keep in mind these a lot of the loans that caused uh the that caused uh the that caused uh the problems were like you know they called problems were like you know they called problems were like you know they called them liar loans or or um you know you them liar loans or or um you know you them liar loans or or um you know you know no no qualification like no qual know no no qualification like no qual know no no qualification like no qual loans right no loans right no loans right no income um well those loans are they income um well those loans are they income um well those loans are they exist again like there are subprime exist again like there are subprime exist again like there are subprime companies that are doing that again they companies that are doing that again they companies that are doing that again they know I don't think they call them know I don't think they call them know I don't think they call them subprime anymore they call them so they subprime anymore they call them so they subprime anymore they call them so they got some other name yeah rebranded yeah got some other name yeah rebranded yeah got some other name yeah rebranded yeah they've rebranded a little bit but it's they've rebranded a little bit but it's they've rebranded a little bit but it's it's happening all over it's happening all over it's happening all over again it just seems the whole the whole again it just seems the whole the whole again it just seems the whole the whole real estate SL banking system is very real estate SL banking system is very real estate SL banking system is very prone to this kind of corruption I mean prone to this kind of corruption I mean prone to this kind of corruption I mean but but how how can you fix it like if but but how how can you fix it like if but but how how can you fix it like if if a lot of the things they fixed a lot if a lot of the things they fixed a lot if a lot of the things they fixed a lot of the manipulation they fixed but if of the manipulation they fixed but if of the manipulation they fixed but if you tighten it too much then the average you tighten it too much then the average you tighten it too much then the average person can't get a loan like you you you person can't get a loan like you you you person can't get a loan like you you you so you you know and and the thing is so you you know and and the thing is so you you know and and the thing is some of these loans sometimes changing a some of these loans sometimes changing a some of these loans sometimes changing a W2 you know should that person have W2 you know should that person have W2 you know should that person have gotten in that into that house no he gotten in that into that house no he gotten in that into that house no he shouldn't have he didn't qualify um but shouldn't have he didn't qualify um but shouldn't have he didn't qualify um but he makes all of his payments so it's he makes all of his payments so it's he makes all of his payments so it's like is it a fraudin loan yeah but it like is it a fraudin loan yeah but it like is it a fraudin loan yeah but it performs so you know I think that I performs so you know I think that I performs so you know I think that I would say that I forget what the FBI would say that I forget what the FBI would say that I forget what the FBI statistic was it was like 20% or 30% statistic was it was like 20% or 30% statistic was it was like 20% or 30% prior to the 20 prior to the the prior to the 20 prior to the the prior to the 20 prior to the the financial crisis is like 20 or 30% of

  79. financial crisis is like 20 or 30% of financial crisis is like 20 or 30% of like bank loans they were saying contain like bank loans they were saying contain like bank loans they were saying contain some kind of fraud even if it was just a some kind of fraud even if it was just a some kind of fraud even if it was just a lie you know if you want to cut 30% out lie you know if you want to cut 30% out lie you know if you want to cut 30% out of the out of the you know that that's a of the out of the you know that that's a of the out of the you know that that's a ton that's a ton so you're on probation ton that's a ton so you're on probation ton that's a ton so you're on probation and you're doing these you're almost and you're doing these you're almost and you're doing these you're almost getting caught you're almost getting getting caught you're almost getting getting caught you're almost getting caught and you're doing these really caught and you're doing these really caught and you're doing these really large scale scams how does it get to the point where scams how does it get to the point where you're on the run so doing multiple you're on the run so doing multiple you're on the run so doing multiple scams right so it's not just that I'm scams right so it's not just that I'm scams right so it's not just that I'm doing the scams with the uh the doing the scams with the uh the doing the scams with the uh the Reservoir Dog scams right I'm not just Reservoir Dog scams right I'm not just Reservoir Dog scams right I'm not just doing those guys I'm also doing those guys I'm also doing those guys I'm also creating other creating other creating other identities because I've got other people identities because I've got other people identities because I've got other people that are involved they they want to do a that are involved they they want to do a that are involved they they want to do a scam MH so this chick I was scam MH so this chick I was scam MH so this chick I was dating um she wanted to uh she wanted to dating um she wanted to uh she wanted to dating um she wanted to uh she wanted to run a scam so I set up a scam it's semi run a scam so I set up a scam it's semi run a scam so I set up a scam it's semi complicated but the the bottom line is complicated but the the bottom line is complicated but the the bottom line is she ends up stealing a real person we we she ends up stealing a real person we we she ends up stealing a real person we we we steal a real person's identity I have we steal a real person's identity I have we steal a real person's identity I have a real person's identity we get a a real person's identity we get a a real person's identity we get a driver's license in her name open up driver's license in her name open up driver's license in her name open up some bank accounts go rent a piece of some bank accounts go rent a piece of some bank accounts go rent a piece of property in her property in her property in her name and I transfer the deed or the deed name and I transfer the deed or the deed name and I transfer the deed or the deed from the property out of the real from the property out of the real from the property out of the real owner's name I transfer it into her owner's name I transfer it into her owner's name I transfer it into her stolen identity mhm we then refinance stolen identity mhm we then refinance stolen identity mhm we then refinance the house like three or four times and the house like three or four times and the house like three or four times and so she starts going to these different so she starts going to these different so she starts going to these different closings and she's her name is Allison

  177. own multif family and so we bribed him own multif family and so we bribed him and got him elected that doesn't seem and got him elected that doesn't seem and got him elected that doesn't seem minor it's not as sexy as the rest of minor it's not as sexy as the rest of minor it's not as sexy as the rest of the stuff that's pretty I the stuff that's pretty I the stuff that's pretty I mean that's a whole another thing like I mean that's a whole another thing like I mean that's a whole another thing like I I mean you know all right so what I mean you know all right so what I mean you know all right so what happened is when they got all of the happened is when they got all of the happened is when they got all of the bank accounts they see all these checks bank accounts they see all these checks bank accounts they see all these checks going to Kevin White and so they're like going to Kevin White and so they're like going to Kevin White and so they're like why did James red donate $500 to Kevin why did James red donate $500 to Kevin why did James red donate $500 to Kevin White why did Brandon green donate why White why did Brandon green donate why White why did Brandon green donate why did Allan Duncan donate why did and you did Allan Duncan donate why did and you did Allan Duncan donate why did and you know so I had explained to oh yeah well know so I had explained to oh yeah well know so I had explained to oh yeah well he was we wanted him to be city he was we wanted him to be city he was we wanted him to be city councilman so we paid you know gave him councilman so we paid you know gave him councilman so we paid you know gave him a bunch of money so he could run the ad a bunch of money so he could run the ad a bunch of money so he could run the ad so he could get elected so he could then so he could get elected so he could then so he could get elected so he could then get all of our stuff but because he get all of our stuff but because he get all of our stuff but because he never did you know I took off on the run never did you know I took off on the run never did you know I took off on the run before he was able to do that um and and before he was able to do that um and and before he was able to do that um and and then he ended up getting uh not long too then he ended up getting uh not long too then he ended up getting uh not long too too long after that he ended up about too long after that he ended up about too long after that he ended up about five six years later he ended up getting five six years later he ended up getting five six years later he ended up getting uh um indicted for bribery but not mine uh um indicted for bribery but not mine uh um indicted for bribery but not mine on somebody else's case can I take a on somebody else's case can I take a on somebody else's case can I take a small tangent here and ask how many small tangent here and ask how many small tangent here and ask how many politicians do you think commit crimes politicians do you think commit crimes politicians do you think commit crimes are a little bit or a lot are a little bit or a lot are a little bit or a lot criminals I mean I think there's some criminals I mean I think there's some criminals I mean I think there's some ways that are you they're they're ways that are you they're they're ways that are you they're they're they're seemingly legal the they're seemingly legal the they're seemingly legal the forementioned gray area well that's not forementioned gray area well that's not forementioned gray area well that's not gray like I I this guy was like at one gray like I I this guy was like at one gray like I I this guy was like at one point I couldn't find anybody to write point I couldn't find anybody to write point I couldn't find anybody to write $500 checks anymore so I just gave him $500 checks anymore so I just gave him $500 checks anymore so I just gave him cash like I'm just handing them $7 cash like I'm just handing them $7 cash like I'm just handing them $7 $8,000 $10,000 in cash $8,000 $10,000 in cash $8,000 $10,000 in cash so uh but you know I think most of them

  178. so uh but you know I think most of them so uh but you know I think most of them have legal ways to make ungodly amounts have legal ways to make ungodly amounts have legal ways to make ungodly amounts of money for you know of money for you know of money for you know influence you know but is it legal no influence you know but is it legal no influence you know but is it legal no it's they're politicians they've made it it's they're politicians they've made it it's they're politicians they've made it so that it's not illegal if you really so that it's not illegal if you really so that it's not illegal if you really sat down and explained it to sat down and explained it to sat down and explained it to someone you someone you someone you know the average person would say that know the average person would say that know the average person would say that that's that's not right that oh no no that's that's not right that oh no no that's that's not right that oh no no that's legal so okay so at the end of that's legal so okay so at the end of that's legal so okay so at the end of these few these few these few days um what was the sentencing like days um what was the sentencing like days um what was the sentencing like yeah I I end up uh I go to sentencing I yeah I I end up uh I go to sentencing I yeah I I end up uh I go to sentencing I I get my PSI back and it's 32 years to I get my PSI back and it's 32 years to I get my PSI back and it's 32 years to life life life and yeah and and yeah and and yeah and so we argue about it uh with the so we argue about it uh with the so we argue about it uh with the prosecutor just before sentencing and prosecutor just before sentencing and prosecutor just before sentencing and they get it down to they 26 years four they get it down to they 26 years four they get it down to they 26 years four months and then Millie says listen don't months and then Millie says listen don't months and then Millie says listen don't worry cuz I'm trying to backpedal at worry cuz I'm trying to backpedal at worry cuz I'm trying to backpedal at this point I'm like I I might as well go this point I'm like I I might as well go this point I'm like I I might as well go to trial if I lost at trial I couldn't to trial if I lost at trial I couldn't to trial if I lost at trial I couldn't get more more than 30 that you can't get more more than 30 that you can't get more more than 30 that you can't well more than 32 years cuz you can well more than 32 years cuz you can well more than 32 years cuz you can can't get life 32 was a Max it's just a can't get life 32 was a Max it's just a can't get life 32 was a Max it's just a mistake he said 32 years to life you mistake he said 32 years to life you mistake he said 32 years to life you can't get life so it was like the most I can't get life so it was like the most I can't get life so it was like the most I can get is 32 years so I was like I'll can get is 32 years so I was like I'll can get is 32 years so I was like I'll go to trial might as well go to trial go to trial might as well go to trial go to trial might as well go to trial and see if I can get them to reduce some and see if I can get them to reduce some and see if I can get them to reduce some of these enhancements she insists that of these enhancements she insists that of these enhancements she insists that she can get the enhancements knocked she can get the enhancements knocked she can get the enhancements knocked down and if you read they actually read down and if you read they actually read down and if you read they actually read the enhancements some of the the enhancements some of the the enhancements some of the enhancements they didn't apply to enhancements they didn't apply to enhancements they didn't apply to me so she goes and and you know I me so she goes and and you know I me so she goes and and you know I believed her and and I think she she believed her and and I think she she believed her and and I think she she made a valid argument we get to we go to
