A Basehor man is among the 10 people who have been charged in a $3 million mortgage fraud case, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney.
Lucas R. Collier, 27, was charged in an indictment that was announced Thursday in a news release from the office of Lanny Welch, U.S. attorney for Kansas.
According to the indictment, in 2006 Eric Rabicoff allegedly devised a scheme to defraud lenders by recruiting straw buyers to purchase homes that were for sale by owners.
It was part of the scheme to submit false information to lenders so that borrowers received loans for which they were not qualified, according to the release.
