Christopher D. H, a Midvale man, pleaded guilty in federal court to falsifying documents as part of a mortgage fraud scheme. Specifically, he admitted to falsifying documents to artificially inflate home prices. Mortgage fraud involving inflated home values and falsified documents was an ongoing issue. Regulators were working to address mortgage fraud through increased prosecution and new laws targeting fraudulent practices.

U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart noted Thursday that the offenders who stole millions of dollars from
mortgage companies in a fraud involving the sale of homes in an upscale Provo neighborhood "are
men of stature and status, success and privilege."
So, the judge said, it was a mystery to him why they took part in a conspiracy to steal as much money as possible by using straw buyers to flip houses in
the River Bottoms area. The consequences for the mortgage companies, which lost $5.5 million, and residents, whose home values and property taxes
were affected, have been devastating, Stewart said. "It is not too much of a stretch to say this is part of a larger corruption in our society that led to the
economic troubles not
only in this country, but in the whole world," he said. One by one, Stewart sentenced five defendants who had functioned in various roles in the scam to
prison. All had pleaded guilty to conspiracy or fraud-related counts. Sentenced Thursday were: -- Bradley Grant Kitchen, 42, of Provo, whom
prosecutors say orchestrated the conspiracy, to 51 months behind bars. -- David R. Bolick, 52, Sandy, a physician and owner of Home Owners Group
Ron K. Clarke, 41, Provo, a licensed real estate agent, 41
and Paragon Investments, 41 months. --
months. -- Steve Wells Cloward, 41, Orem, a licensed real estate appraiser, 33 months. --
Jeffery David Garrett, 44, Provo, an escrow officer, 12 months. Garrett was ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution. The other four are jointly liable for
about $5.4 million to America's Wholesale Lender, which is the wholesale mortgage arm of Countrywide Home Mortgage; and American Broker's
Conduit, the wholesale mortgage arm of American Home Mortgage. A 2007 federal indictment says the defendants entered false sales prices in the
Multiple Listing Service, then used the exaggerated figures to support inflated appraisals of other properties in the affluent River Bottoms area. The
defendants used straw buyers to flip five residences in the neighborhood, according to the indictment, and kept the difference between the home loan and
the actual value of the properties. The case was the first filed in federal court as part of the Utah Mortgage Fraud Task Force. The group --- made up of
local, state and federal law-enforcement officers and state and federal prosecutors -- has brought prosecutions in state courts. Three of the prosecutions
were of straw buyers, including KUTV Channel 2 sports anchor Dave Fox, who admitted he made a misrepresentation to obtain a loan for one of the
homes. Fox entered a plea in abeyance to communications fraud. The case was dismissed and his record wiped clean after he met certain conditions,
including cooperating with prosecutors. The other two straw buyers also entered pleas in abeyance in Utah County. On Thursday, Stewart rejected a
request by Garrett's lawyer for a shorter sentence for his client. Attorney David Maddox argued that Garrett had acted as a straw buyer and pointed out
that Fox and the other straw buyers had been allowed to make pleas in abeyance. The argument didn't sway Stewart. "Why some were not prosecuted ... I
don't know," Stewart said. "I consider the role of straw buyers to be reprehensible." Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Thorley said Garrett did more than act
as a straw buyer. Meanwhile, Clarke specifically directed his attorney not to ask for a sentence that was shorter than the 41 months, recommended under
federal sentencing guidelines. "I crossed the line," he told Stewart. "I humbly beg for forgiveness."

57. Midvale Man Pleads Guilty to Mortgage Fraud
May 3rd, 2011
By Dennis Romboy
SALT LAKE CITY — A Midvale man has pleaded guilty in
federal court to falsifying documents to drive up home prices
as part of a mortgage fraud scheme.
In a plea agreement, Christopher D. Hales, 30,
admitted to one count of bank fraud in U.S. District
Court last week. He initially faced 10 counts of mail, wire and bank fraud
and money laundering. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss nine counts in exchange for
the guilty plea.
Judge Ted Stewart will sentence Hales on Aug. 30. Prosecutors recommended
Hales spend 90 months in prison.
Hales admitted that he enlisted others in 2005 to file an
appraisal falsely valuing a Salt Lake house at $750,000.
He then arranged to purchase the home through a straw buyer in order to keep
the equity total of $172,000 for himself.
Cedar Hills Mayor Eric Richardson was linked to the other alleged financial scams
involving Hales, according to court documents. Richardson has not been charged
with a crime.
