Man Pretends To Be Hank Paulson To Make Fake $353,000 Mortgage Payment To Citi, Succeeds
Perhaps the most surreal fact about the case of 35 year old Bryan Gardner who back in 2009 sent CitiMortgage a $353,000 money order “drawn on the account of the ‘Secretary of the Treasury Hank M. Paulson, Jr.” in order to satisfy the final payment for a property in Bowie, Md, is that…. he succeeded. Fox Biz has more: “CitiMortgage erroneously accepted the document and credited Gardner’s mortgage account in full,” according to a Secret Service affidavit. Within months, Gardner sold the property for $254,900 and then “distributed the proceeds to others,” according to public records and the Secret Service affidavit. Investigators believe Gardner may have initially secured the mortgage under false pretenses. Through a spokesman, an FBI agent who investigates mortgage fraud said he was surprised the scheme succeeded, and a former Justice Department official who helped lead fraud enforcement efforts in the wake of the financial meltdown agreed, calling the approval of the money order “bizarre.” Perhaps what is more bizarre is just how a plan like this, which a 3 year old could concoct, but not even a 3 year old would be dumb enough to believe it would fly, actually succeeded. Just how big is the pool of “unclaimed” cash on deposit at CitiMortgage is there was i) no actual account was debited for the full amount and ii) nobody noticed that the Treasury department was paying off a private mortgage.
It gets even funnier as our law enforcers realize that merely the tip of the iceberg in mortgage fraud land is beyond ridiculous:
“I’ve never heard of a case where a mortgage for such a large amount was satisfied with a fraudulent instrument — an instrument that’s so on-its-face fraudulent,” said Paul Pelletier, who until a few months ago was a top-ranking official in the Justice Department’s Fraud Section. “You’d be amazed at how many people try and pass off (fraudulent) stuff. But does it ever work? No, it rarely works.”
In fact, Gardner’s alleged scheme didn’t work the first time he tried. In November 2008, two months before his successful attempt, Gardner sent a nearly identical money order to CitiMortgage, but it was rejected, according to the Secret Service. The only difference the second time around: Gardner requested slightly more money, court documents say.
Pelletier said this case is “extraordinarily unusual” not only because CitiMortgage ultimately honored a fraudulent money order, but the company allowed it to be credited to Gardner’s mortgage and likely issued a “satisfaction” on the mortgage, as reflected by Gardner’s ability to sell the property.

Check out US v Wahler. Curiously sealed the judge and jury notes after acquittal. 32 not guilties on a closed checking account. It is only monpoly money after all. Does it really matter who prints the fiat? It’s not like any of you have ever redeemed a Federal Reserve Note for lawful money

I know Bryan Gardner. This does not surprise me at all. He always talked BS, and was full of BS. Never worked a full or honest day in the time that I have known him. I look forward to seeing him in prison stripes.
This is scary:
“Ivestigators believe Gardner may have initially secured the mortgage under false pretenses”
If Banksters will fake documents in court when they take a house, I wonder why they just don’t “fake” other documents to show that the borrower obtained a loan under “false pretenses”. Nothing would surprise me at this point. They lie continously. Robosigning is all about “pretending” to be someone else.
More foreclosure fraud going down hill lol!!

Exaclty as another poster noted, the Banks have commited massive fraud and Paulson (the real one) threatened to blow up the universe if his cronies weren’t paid off. Seems like the secret service and the FBI got the wrong guy.
Why are banks allowed to foreclose on us when we are their involuntary shareholders!!!!
qny81, Because in America we have numerous traitors and treasoinist politicians who along with numerous cohorts and minions are, in our midst, working from inside and outside of America to overthrow AMERICA. These highly deceptive traitors wear TWO FACES and stand to make A TON of WEALTH from our demise……I am looking into which politicians & the like. benefited from the financial crisis as well as the debt downgrade……I read that there is list of these traitors at http://letsrollforums.com/ and I am going to find it..and I will post that link..I hear Obama’s on that list…..Looks like Ron Paul is gaining support after losing a bit for voting for the debt deal….Kudlow reported Ron Paul voted for a CLEAN VERSION OF THE DEBT DEAL….Whatever that means..and was thrown under the bus by traitors from within his own party…WE THE PEOPLE need to do our homework . Force these presidential candidates to sign legal binding contracts, if they are elected, and they do not govern under the U.S. CONSTITUTION, THEY MUST RESIGN…They are ALL incredibly deceptive…….the only thing that seems crystal clear is there are numerous traitors in our midst who have been for decades, and still are to this very day, working dilligently to throw America into a one world fascist totalitarian dictatorship, A NEW WORLD ORDER. We The People cannot allow that to happen to the greatest nation on earth. Not on our watch., not ever………
An effective way to fight back against the big banksters

When ignorance is bliss…..stupidity is unbearable! Unbearibly funny!
We should not in any way encourage or condone fraud by home owners.
I think they charged him with mail fraud, which gives them Federal Jurisdiction, because otherwise the fraudulent check is purely a state matter.
On the other hand, it is amusing that the secret service does one man a count for mail fraud, yet there are thousands of provably forged or fraudulent assignment of mortgages, prepared in places like the LPS office in Minnesota, and MAILED to be RECORDED in the PUBLIC RECORDS of other states, yet absolutely ZERO charges of mail fraud, interstate RICO, or other charges against the persons who draft them, the persons who sign them, the people who mail them or the companies that instigated and benefit from the fraud.
