Adewui Majaro, 40, North Miami, was the ninth "Operation Whose House" defendant to plead guilty to fraud charges. As set forth in the Indictment, Operation Whose House is a $10,000,000 scheme to defraud mortgage lenders. Majaro pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Majaro faces a maximum statutory sentence of up to five years' imprisonment and or a fine of up to $250,000.

According to the evidence presented in support of the pleas, the defendants engaged in a scheme to enrich themselves by obtaining mortgages from lenders using straw purchasers and through the submission of false documentation, including false loan applications, false employment verification forms, false salary statements, and false bank account statements reflecting high account balances. The defendants also used and caused others to use false or stolen Florida driver licenses, identification cards, and social security numbers as their personal identification to facilitate the purchase of properties in the names of individuals whose identification documents had been previously stolen.

Specifically, Majaro pled guilty to conspiring to use the stolen identity of a then 94 year old retired widow living in Broward County, Florida, to purchase a new home in Lehigh Acres, Florida. Majaro obtained a mortgage loan fraudulently from Mortgage Lenders Network USA, located in Connecticut, in the amount of $272,050 based on false documents sent to the lender by Khadmilroy, Inc., a mortgage broker business, then located in Sunrise, Florida, and operated by co-defendant Yvette Scott Patterson. Among the false documents in the widow's name were false wage stubs, IRS W-2 Forms, Verification of Employment and Bank Account forms, and statements that they were married.
