 PREACHER SENTENCED FOR ROLE IN MORTGAGE FRAUD SCHEME Obtained More than $200,000 Loan As a Result of Fraudulent Statements to Lender  According to the evidence presented during the guilty plea hearing, in late 2006 and early 2007, McKnight caused an application for a mortgage loan to be submitted to Wachovia Mortgage that contained false statements as to his father’s income, his father’s intent to occupy the property and other information. In addition to his prison term, the court ordered that McKnight pay the victims of his fraud more than $250,000 in restitution. United States Attorney Edward J. Tarver said, “The defendant’s actions, along with the actions of other mortgage fraudsters, have blighted our community with houses worth far more on paper than they ever were in reality. His misdeeds not only took money from financial institutions to line his own pockets, they also robbed one of Augusta’s most impecunious communities of the potential for future investment and rehabilitation.”  |
