WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced two North Carolina men for their roles in a $6 million mortgage fraud scam.
The Star-News of Wilmington reports Wednesday that Daniel Rooks was sentenced to 7 1/4 years in prison, while Alford Rooks received five years of probation. Both Whiteville men pleaded guilty June 1 to conspiracy charges.
Federal prosecutors say Daniel Rooks put trailers on land he bought and subdivided and sold to poor people, lying about the costs. Stanley Williams Jr., a mortgage broker, then falsified loan applications.
