2 Minnesota Women Indicted for Fraud
Molly L. Heise, 49, Greenfield, Minnesota, owner of real estate closing firm Profile Title & Escrow Corp., and Christine A. Hein, 38, Buffalo, Minnesota, the company’s chief financial officer, were charged in a superceding indictment with multiple counts of criminal wrongdoing, including wire fraud and money laundering. According to the Superceding Indictment, beginning in June 2002 through January 2004, the defendants conspired to defraud Chicago Title by depositing more than $370 million into a secret account while maintaining the escrow account required and known by Chicago Title with scrupulous adherence. From the “secret” account, Heise transferred $2 million to another account from which she paid personal expenses. After Chicago Title withdrew as underwriter and revoked Profile Title‘s authority to act on its behalf, Heise and Hein continued to function as if Chicago Title was underwriting policies for Profile Title. Also as part of the scheme to defraud, Heise and Hein failed to satisfy sellers’ prior loans encumbering real property and other payouts according to the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person - Molly is a complete wackjob who would sell your children behind your back. She ruined many people.

I also know Molly personally and as a former employee. She is innocent! Molly would give the shirt off of her back to anyone in need. She’s helped all of her employee’s in one way or another and is a compassionate person. I’ve seen the papers the CFO showed Molly, WE didn’t know that the CFO had falsified them. Molly is guilty of one thing, that was being too trusting (what a shame). I think all the people who has been helped by Molly need to stand up and say enough. The court system has given a plea agreement to the criminal to indict the innocent just because Chicago Title thinks Molly has all this money! What a bunch of crap! Chicago Title had to pay off a lot of people. Maybe even one’s who were up for election. A lot of bad things has happened to a really great woman and her family and it kills me. I know who the player’s were, and I’m telling you Molly is innocent of all charges. And Secure, I know about you also. If it wasn’t for Molly (you called her a wackjob) you would have never been able to open your business. You also owe her… You JackASS

Update - US v. F. Jeffrey Miller, et al.
Miller II: Judge Julie Robinson has ruled in favor of the defense motion granting a continuance for sentencing of the 3 convicted defendants: F. Jeffrey Miller, Steve Vanatta and Hallie Irvin. The three will now be sentenced after ruling on post trial motions set for August 10, 2009.
Vanatta has been in custody for over 2 years. Vanetta filed a motion for his release pending sentencing. That motion was denied.
Miller remains free pending his sentencing. He has hired a new attorney who filed a motion to delay Miller's sentencing. In one post trial motion, the defense argues as to what assets are subject to seizure.
Defendant Todd Earnshaw is a Kansas City real estate Broker (and brother in law of Miller). Earnshaw has been indicted in what is commonly referred to as Miller I. A trial date for that matter has been set for January, 2010 in Topeka, Kansas.
The Government filed a motion to revoke Earnshaw's bond and remand him to custody while he awaits trial after learning that he allegedly committed the state crimes of Driving Under the Influence, Handicap Parking Violation and Failure to Control Speed to Avoid a Collision while on pretrial release. Notwithstanding finding that probable cause existed to believe that Earnshaw committed the aforementioned state crimes, Judge Robinson denied the motion, but ordered several strict conditions that Earnshaw must follow pending his trial.
