A Broker Ran a $5 Million Real Estate Ponzi Scheme

from True Crimes of Real Estate · host Troy Palmquist and Summer Goralik

In this episode of True Crimes of Real Estate, we break down a real fraud case involving a licensed broker, fake property deals, fake documents, fake escrow accounts, and millions of dollars gone. What looked like legitimate real estate investing was actually a years-long Ponzi-style scheme that ended in federal prison. We get into how the fraud worked, the red flags investors missed, how the money moved, and what brokers, agents, and consumers should be watching for before wiring funds.Follow on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/truecrimesrealestatehttps://www.instagram.com/tpalmquisthttps://www.instagram.com/complianceneversleeps#realestate #truecrime #realestatecompliance This is a public episode.
