Ameriquest Files Civil RICO Lawsuit for Mortgage Fraud
Defendants include Ameriquest Employees
Ameriquest filed a civil lawsuit alleging that the defendants fraudulently obtained approximately 75 properties in Kansas City, Missouri and its neighboring areas from Ameriquest by helping to create or by submitting loan applications and documents, title reports and appraisals that misrepresented material facts and that they organized numerous loan transactions which were based on fraudulent, false and inaccurate loan applications and on greatly inflated appraisals and false title reports in order to fraudulently induce Ameriquest to make loans. In most of the loan transactions, according to the complaint, Ameriquest loan funds were to be used to refinance allegedly existing loans that never existed. Ameriquest loan funds were diverted and converted by the defendants and, primarily, by the Barber Defendants (and by entities which they controlled).

F. Jeffrey Miller Update - October 20, 2009
A hearing was held in Topeka, Kansas in front of Judge Julie Robinson. Miller is currently being held pending his sentencing which is set for December 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.. Steve Vanatta and Hallie Irvin, Miller's codefendants, will be sentenced at that time also.
Several motions were heard this week. One was a motion for Miller to be released pending his sentencing. Miller's attorney, Jeff Morris, argued that the court had dismmissed with predjudice the matter involving Miller's purchase of a commercial lawnmower, violating the court ordered monitoring agreement. He also argued that Miller was not a flight risk and should be released. This motion was denied.
Another motion heard by Judge Robinson was that of an escrow account containing proceeds from the sale of Miller's forfeited assets. This account has a balance of $143,000. Attorney Morris argued that his firm was due $100,000 for work done in the Miller matter, to date. The government argued that his 'un-itemized fees' were 'exhorbitant'. The balance of the funds, Morris argued, should be released to the Miller family to help pay for mounting household expenses.
The government argued that the 'Asset Forfeiture Provision' applies down to 'the last penny' and that 'the rights of the victims to made whole are of paramount immportance' and that no routine household expenses like Visa bills, are allowed.
Attorney Morris argues that there is more than enough assets to satisfy the jury's judgement of $2.65 million dollars. The government argues that the estimated value of his assets are only $1.4 million.
The government also stated that Miller has been paid dividends from a company Miller has an ownership interest in; Boreflex. From July, 2008 to present, Miller has been paid $330,509.30 from Boreflex, unbeknownst to the court appointed monitor.
Present in the courtroom was Todd Earnshaw. Earnshaw was indicted along with Miller and others in what is commonly referred to as 'Miller I'. That trial is scheduled to begin on January 11, 2010 in Topeka, Kansas.
