Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara stated: “For years, JPMorgan Chase has enjoyed the privilege of participating in federally-subsidized programs aimed at helping millions of Americans realize the dream of homeownership. He also expressed his appreciation for the support of the Commercial Litigation Branch of the U.S. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher B. Harwood is in charge of the case.

As GATA-AURA well knew, “Jonathan Black,” was an entirely fictitious person, created to mask Haddow’s control of Bar Works. Renwick Haddow, 51, pled guilty on May 23, 2019, to one count each of wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy relating to the Bar Works scheme, and one count each of wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy relating to a separate investment scheme involving Bitcoins. GATA-AURA received in excess of $2.9 million in commissions out of victim funds for his participation in the scheme. DIMARCO did this in hopes of obtaining funds based on the value of those artworks. Indeed, DIMARCO and his co-conspirator entered into completed sales agreements for more than 60 artworks totaling in excess of $150 million. Specifically, JPMORGAN CHASE: (1) approved thousands of loans for government insurance or refinancing that did not meet one or more of the requirements of the DEL Program or the Loan Guaranty Program; (2) failed to self-report hundreds of loans that it identified as having been affected by fraud or other material deficiencies; and (3) regularly submitted to TOTAL loan data that lacked integrity – the data was not based on documents or other information possessed by JPMORGAN CHASE employees at the time they submitted it. If a lender approves a mortgage loan for insurance and refinancing pursuant to the DEL Program or the Loan Guaranty Program and the loan later defaults, the holder of the loan may submit an insurance claim to FHA-HUD or the VA for the costs associated with the defaulted loan, which HUD-FHA or the VA must then pay. HUD Acting General Counsel Damon Smith said: “This settlement with JP Morgan Chase will enable HUD to recover funds lost due to Chase’s past unacceptable mortgage underwriting practices. This artic le was created by GSA Conte nt Gen erator DE MO.
Financial Conduct Authority, a British regulator, for operating investment schemes through misrepresentations that lost investors substantially all of their money. The scammer sends the victim a forged or stolen cheque or money order as described above, the victim deposits it-banks will often credit an account with the value of a cheque not obviously false- and sends the money to the scammer via wire transfer. Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that ANTONIO DIMARCO was sentenced in Manhattan federal court today to 54 months in prison for participating in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud, based on his attempt to fraudulently acquire millions of dollars’ worth of artworks from art galleries, auction houses, and private collectors from around the world. GATA-AURA previously pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud before United States District Judge Jed S. Rakoff, who also imposed the sentence. Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced the arrest today of STUART FINKELSTEIN on charges of mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, false declarations to a court, and obstruction of justice. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed nearly 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,900 mortgage fraud defendants. The rules further require lenders to refrain from manipulating the loan data they submit to TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard (“TOTAL”) – a credit-rating software application maintained by HUD-FHA that determines whether a given loan qualifies for government insurance. It approved for government insurance or refinancing thousands of loans that did not meet one or more rules of the DEL Program or the Loan Guaranty Program, and therefore were not eligible for government insurance or refinancing. Consequently, it is crucial that lenders follow the rules of the DEL Program and the Loan Guaranty Program.
Notwithstanding the importance of following the rules of the DEL Program and the Loan Guaranty Program, during the period January 1, 2002, through the present (the “Covered Period”), JPMORGAN CHASE routinely violated those rules. Since at least 2002, JPMORGAN CHASE has been a participant in the HUD-FHA Direct Endorsement Lender program (“DEL Program”) and the VA Home Loan Guaranty program (“Loan Guaranty Program”) – federal programs authorizing private-sector mortgage lenders to approve mortgage loans for insurance or refinancing by the Government. This conduct prompted HUD-FHA and the VA to accept for government insurance and refinancing thousands of loans that did not, in fact, qualify. As a result of the conduct described above, JPMORGAN CHASE induced HUD-FHA and the VA to accept for government insurance or refinancing thousands of loans that were not eligible for such insurance or refinancing, and that HUD-FHA and the VA otherwise would not have accepted for insurance or refinancing, and this resulted in substantial losses to the Government when the loans ultimately defaulted. Those parts are Medicare Part A, which is hospital insurance coverage, and Medicare Part B, which is an elective health insurance plan. A con artist may approach you — or even phone you, thanks to a tip from a crooked tow truck driver or mechanic — and pose as a third-party insurance official or consultant in order to convince you to use the services of a particular health clinic for your injuries, or to use a particular body shop or lawyer. From at least as early as November 2017 through and including October 2018, DIMARCO and a co-conspirator attempted to acquire millions of dollars’ worth of artworks from around the world using a variety of methods, including through appropriating the identity and financial information of a particular victim, and creating and presenting a slew of fraudulent documents.
