fraud and wire fraud involving a financial institution<br />

From approximately 2002 until 2007, Totten was<br />
a loan officer who acted as an unlicensed mortgage<br />
broker (operating under broker licenses held by<br />
others). During this time, Totten owned or operated<br />
Integrated Home Loans, Integrated Lending, Money<br />
World, and other entities and generated business<br />
by advertising on television and other media. In<br />
2006, Totten allegedly obtained $2.2 million in<br />
mortgage loans on behalf of a single straw buyer by<br />
allegedly using false information on the straw buyer’s<br />
loan applications and then collected kickbacks and<br />
commissions on the sales. Lockard, a loan processor,<br />
worked for Totten from January 2006 through<br />
June 2007, during which time she processed these<br />
and other fraudulent loans. Lockard created and<br />
processed fraudulent loan applications and fraudulent<br />
supporting documents, such as false Certified Public<br />
Accountant letters, false bank statements, and false<br />
verification of deposit forms. She submitted them<br />
to mortgage lenders including FHLBank members.<br />
Many of the loans subsequently defaulted, causing<br />
the mortgage lenders and secondary purchasers,<br />
including the enterprises, to suffer significant losses as<br />
a result of the conspiracy.<br />
This was a joint investigation with the FBI, IRS-CI,<br />
and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District<br />
of California.<br />
Loan Officer Sentenced, Annandale, Virginia<br />
On July 30, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for<br />
the Eastern District of Virginia, Rina Delgado was<br />
sentenced to 12 months of incarceration and 3 years<br />
of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay<br />
$1,160,611 in restitution. She previously pled guilty<br />
to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.<br />
in Annandale, Virginia. In this capacity, she placed<br />
false information in loan applications and used false<br />
documents, such as W-2 forms, to qualify otherwise<br />
unqualified applicants for loans. The enterprises<br />
suffered losses exceeding $800,000 as a result of<br />
Delgado’s conduct.<br />
This was a joint investigation with the FBI and was<br />
prosecuted with assistance from an OIG investigative<br />
counsel.<br />
Servicer Allegedly Diverted Over $18 Million<br />
Owed to the Enterprises, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida<br />
On July 11, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the<br />
Southern District of Florida, a criminal information<br />
was filed against Patrick Mansell, alleging conspiracy<br />
to commit wire fraud. Mansell pled guilty on<br />
August 5, 2013.<br />
Starting in April 2007, Mansell used his position as<br />
vice president, secretary, and director of Coastal States<br />
Mortgage Corporation to defraud the enterprises.<br />
Through February 2012, Coastal States withheld<br />
mortgage loan payoffs due to the enterprises for<br />
extended periods. Coastal States would use these<br />
funds for its own business purposes and to make<br />
monthly mortgage payments on paid-off loans,<br />
misrepresenting them as performing loans. Payoffs<br />
fraudulently retained by Coastal States were also used<br />
to remit funds due to the enterprises for previously<br />
withheld payoffs. Daily and monthly servicing reports<br />
were supplied to the enterprises containing false<br />
information and altered loan-identifying numbers,<br />
which enabled the scheme to go undetected. The<br />
enterprises lost more than $18 million as a result.<br />
The Florida Office of Financial Regulation provided<br />
assistance to OIG during the initial stages of the<br />
investigation.<br />
From September 2006 until August 2007, Delgado<br />
worked as a loan officer with SunTrust Mortgage<br />
