According to KRON Channel Four, the State of Utah has charged Scott Heineman and Kurt Johnson with numerous felonies including racketeering, communications fraud, theft and conspiracy. The charges arise out of a mortgage elimination scheme offered by Heineman and Johnson through their company, the Dorean Group. According to the story, arrest warrants were issued and Scott Heineman is in custody.
KRON’s report also includes information on the recent eviction of the Dorean Group from its business address. Apparently, the company failed to pay its rent. When the landlord initiated eviction proceedings, Heineman and Johnson filed documents purporting to transfer the commercial property to themselves – going so far as to write letters to the tenants informing them that rent should be paid directly to Heineman and Johnson rather than the building owner.
The CCR Website is still live. The site claims that CCR Group has 3 successful refinances as of March 31, 2005 . . .
