Criminal Complaint against 7 in Mississippi
The United States Postal Inspectors Service filed a criminal complaint against Patrick V McGee, Thomas Griffin, Anthony Burroughs, Marvin Dawson, appraiser Edward Young, appraiser Fransene Berry and Shane Rothery claiming they were involved in a conspiracy to commit mail fraud. The claim surrounds a mortgage fraud scheme in Madison, Mississippi involving same-day property flipping of several houses in that area.
Based on court records, Patrick V McGee has used the following names when purchasing properties involved in the alleged scheme: Patrick V McGee, Patrick Vashan McGee, Vashon McGee and Vashan McGee.
The scheme appears to involve the submission of falsified loan application information including misrepresented employment and income, overstated and non-existent asset accounts, falsified down payment information, artificially inflated property values and misuse of another appraiser’s license. Proceeds from these flip sales were remitted to McGee, his co-conspirators and business entities controlled by this group.
Properties involved:
252 Northbay Drive, Madison, MS
109 Fieldcrest Drive, Madison, MS
288 Belle Rose Circle, Madison, MS
112 Red Oak Trail, Brandon MS
904 Cardigan Cove, Madison, MS
217 Hoy Farms Drive, Madison, MS
101 Overlook Drive, Ridgeland, MS
630 Eastwyck Drive, Ridgeland, MS
136 Shelby Drive, Madison, MS
