The defendants allegedly promised borrowers facing foreclosure that they would prevent the foreclosures and repair damaged credit. Through foreclosure rescue firms Harris Capital and Skyline Capital Group, both owned by Harris, the defendants allegedly convinced borrowers to transfer title to straw buyers for six to twelve months at which time they would transfer title back. Instead, they extracted all the equity from the properties using fraudulent loan files. |
