Two more defendants were sentenced Tuesday in the Parish Marketing mortgage fraud scheme that built nearly 200 homes and collected $100 million in bogus loan proceeds.
Kristopher Robbins, 28, of Brandon, S.D., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery to two years in prison and ordered to pay restitution. He pleaded guilty in September 2007 to conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud.
A former closing agent, Robbins admitted to letting co-conspirators forge signatures on mortgage documents. His cooperation with authorities with the Federal Mortgage Fraud Task Force, including IRS and FBI investigators, earned Robbins a reduced sentence.
