Ohio Closing Agents Deny Involvement in Down Payment Scheme

Monday, June 12 2006 04:52

The following press release was issued by American Security Title Company:

Stephanie Corsmeier, Stacey Lester and American Security Title Company deny the allegation that they participated in, or conspired in, the mortgage fraud schemes perpetrated by Clarence Harris and Ike Bronson. Harris and Bronson have pled guilty to the fraud charges brought against them, and they are seeking leniency at their sentencing next month by falsely accusing others.

American Security Title Company first learned of Bronson's mortgage fraud schemes in 2004 and of Harris' schemes in 2005. Immediately upon learning of their fraud, American Security Title Company refused to do any further business with either individual. Their business with our company was less than 1% of our total business, and we never received any payments from Harris or Bronson other than our normal title fees.

American Security Title Company will remain open and ready to serve your real estate title needs. Stephanie and Stacey await their opportunity at trial to demonstrate the falsity of the claims made against them by convicted felons Bronson and Harris.

    The bank records cook them. They advanced funds from escrow DAYS in advance of closing and prior to having any signed loan or sale docs, and the funds are being advanced to payoff bogus "liens". They will end up pleading guilty to something; it looks like prima facie aiding and abetting a 1344 bank fraud

    The other issue is: the houses aren't worth even the loan amounts. Otherwise there would be no losses and no Federal case- there is a TON of mortgage fraud out there "masked" by the general rise in property values. In this case these were rundown houses being bought for $20,000 or less and flipped for $100,000 or more with no work done on them
