Indiana Broker is Indicted on Mortgage Fraud Charges

Justin L. Stuckey, 34, Fort Wayne, Indiana, is charged in a five count Indictment with wire fraud for acts which occurred April 17, 2002, through June 21, 2002.

Stuckey owned and operated Maximum Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage company doing business in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Maximum Mortgage obtained financing for the purchase of real estate in Fort Wayne, Indiana from various mortgage lenders including ABN AMRO based in Ann Arbor, MI.

Alliance Property Management is a property management company that manages numerous rental properties in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

According to the Indictment, Stuckey caused loan applications to be submitted to ABN AMRO through its “FLY” program, (a program where little documentation is required and brokers essentially approve their own loans) based on fraudulent information and misrepresentations. 

Stuckey introduced two individuals (whose names were withheld from the indictment) wanting to purchase rental properties to the owner of Alliance Property Management.  The defendant told them that he was the only person that could get them the financing they needed in order to purchase the number of rental properties they wanted. 

Alliance Property gave the two individuals a list of properties and told them to pick out some properties they thought that they would be interested in purchasing.

Over the course of three (3) separate closings, one of the individuals eventually purchased the following list of properties from Alliance Property:

216 Second St., Fort Wayne, IN 345 Rudisill Blvd., Fort Wayne, IN
