What Constitutes Mortgage Loan Fraud? The FBI defines mortgage fraud as "any material misstatement, misrepresentation or omission relied upon by an underwriter or lender to fund, purchase or insure a loan."
Bank fraud is the use of fraudulent means to
obtain money, assets, or other property owned or held by a financial
institution, or to obtain money from depositors by fraudulently representing to
be a bank or financial institution.[1] In many instances, bank fraud is a
criminal offense. While the specific elements of a particular banking fraud law
vary between jurisdictions, the term bank fraud applies to actions that employ a
scheme or artifice, as opposed to bank robbery or theft. For this reason, bank
fraud is sometimes considered a white-collar crime. wikipedia.com

Curt Novy - Loan and Mortgage Fraud Expert
As the mortgage meltdown and financial crisis of 2007-2008 began to unfold, Mr. Novy was instrumental in identifying and documenting lax lending standards, complex fraud schemes, and steps necessary to reduce the impact of likely loan defaults and foreclosures.
CMA quickly realized that a specialized fraud investigation unit would be necessary to train investigators to prepare for an onslaught of mortgage fraud investigations. In 2007, CMA formed the nation's first private Mortgage Fraud Task Force to assist investigators and prosecutors in understanding the new concept of mortgage fraud that would dominate governmental investigations and prosecutions for several years to come.
Today, CMA remains a leading expert witness firm in mortgage and real estate fraud examination and regularly provides articles on detecting fraud and identifying new fraud schemes. CMA is expanding its services to include other white collar crimes, such as elder abuse, ponzi schemes, and embezzlement. Look for news announcements to be posted soon.
