Hundreds Identified By FBI In NV HOA Fraud Investigations–More To Come
Posted By admin On September 5, 2011 @ 16:39 In Truth Squad, SCA Board, Community Affairs, Laws & Rules, Operations | No Comments
The August 30, 2011 Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that federal prosecutors investigating fraud by Nevada HOAs, HOA professional advisers, and government authorities for the past few years have identified 75 to 100 co-conspirators including board members, management companies, judges, attorneys and former police officers (see links below).
Sun City Anthem is not yet been mentioned on the released FBI list of involved HOAs, but after the 2011 IRS demand for $1,345 Million in back income taxes and penalties from SCA, and after the more than 100 major affidavits alleging law violations with the Nevada authorities in the past few years, we should anticipate that the SCA directors, attorneys, auditor, and management company are known to the FBI’s investigative team.
The massive, multi-year FBI investigations have exposed elaborate HOA schemes involving such criminal violations as:
(1) board elections fraud,
(2) construction defects claims fraud,
(3) non-competitive contracts fraud,
(4) fraudulent legal services,
(5) real estate fraud,
(6) self-dealing among boards, management companies and HOA law firms, and
(7) theft.
So far, about two dozen targets of the investigation are said to be taking plea deals that would ensure their cooperation in the prosecution of higher-level players in the scheme.
Here are a small number of the links reporting on alleged SCA Board Financial misconduct/possible fraud in recent articles:
