Paralegal Sentenced to 3 Years in Mortgage Scam
A federal judge has sentenced a paralegal who took part in a multimillion-dollar mortgage fraud and foreclosure scheme to three years in prison. From 2004 to 2007, Marina Dubin and 26 others, including mortgage brokers and loan processors at AGA Capital NY, submitted applications with bogus information to secure millions of dollars in loans. The subprime mortgage scam cost lenders roughly $11.6 million in losses. Last year, a jury convicted a New York attorney who participated in the same scam.
