Notorious fraudster relative, 'Crazy Eddie's kin', aims to discredit New York Attorney General, Letitia James, a known adversary of former President Donald Trump.
Scathing Clashes: Notorious Swindler Sammy Antar Accuses NY AG Letitia James of Mortgage Fraud
Infamous con artist Sammy Antar, previously embroiled in the Crazy Eddie scheme, has set his sights on New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of mortgage fraud.
URBAN LEGENDS UNVEILED: Revealing the Dark Secrets of Crazy Eddie's Swindler
In an exclusive chat with our digital platform, Antar, who masterminded the books for Crazy Eddie, unmasked a plethora of documentation pointing towards James' alleged mortgage deceit, published weeks ago on his website, White Collar Fraud.
Antar, a forensic accountant and fraud investigator, independently discovered documentation that prompted the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to file a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
"This isn't the Trump administration at war with Tish James," Antar declared to our digital platform, Digital. "I'm not the Trump administration. I'm accusing Tish James because that's what I do. I stand by everything."
Despite plunging into precarious territory with potential retaliation, libel, and reputational risk, Antar is adamant about his findings.
James, 66, adamantly denies the allegations, believing them to be an orchestrated revenge tour, a response to the $454 million civil fraud lawsuit she spearheaded against former President Donald Trump last year, a case currently on appeal.
Tangled Webs: Trump's Fraudulent Past and James' Allegedutton
Trump and the Trump Organization are jointly charged with financial misrepresentation and furnishing false statements – crimes similar to those James is now being accused of. Antar's investigations first kicked off due to his scrutiny of James' private flight travel costs as attorney general.
The Virginia Home and the Game of Loans
In the criminal referral letter sent to the Justice Department, the FHFA asserts a Virginia property James purchased around the same time as the Trump trial began, claiming it as her primary residence. However, James was a public official in New York at the time. The FHFA alleges that primary residence mortgages receive more favorable loan terms, such as lower interest rates.
The FHFA claims James had provided a notarized document designating this property as her primary residence. This would not only disqualify her from holding office in New York but also secure her favorable loan terms. James' office, however, maintains that she has clarified her residency status by stating she does not use the Virginia home as her primary residence.
The Brooklyn Property and the Case of the Four Floors
In 2001, James acquired a property in Brooklyn – initially listed as having five units. The FHFA highlights that James consistently misrepresented the same property as a four-unit dwelling in numerous mortgage documents and applications, thus enabling her to avail of conforming loans, which are only offered on properties with four units or fewer.
Additionally, James benefited from the Home Affordable Modification Program, which provides financial assistance to homeowners at risk of foreclosure, and requires properties to have four units or fewer.
The certificate of occupancy for James' property suggests otherwise, as it still shows five units, according to FHFA. James' office, however, dismisses this certificate as the most recent on file and claims the property has always been a four-unit residence.
Marital Status, Mortgages, and Misrepresentation
James, who never married, is also accused of stating her father was her husband on two mortgage applications in Queens – potentially to secure mortgages as a married couple. Antar finds these documents questionable, while James' lawyers contend they accurately represent the connection between father and daughter.
FROM CHAOS TO TRIUMPH:* Can Letitia James withstand the Storm?***
As the dust settles, the gravity of these accusations remains unclear, with legal proceedings still underway. Antar's findings, while detailed, must withstand the rigors of a thorough investigation and adjudication to be substantiated as fraud.
