Thomas and Heidi Komasa Plead Not Guilty to Mortgage Fraud
June 11, 2010
Total Loss:
$2 Million
The Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont announced that former Vermont residents Thomas Komasa, 45, and his wife Heidi Komasa, 37, of Kingston, NY, pleaded not guilty today in United States District Court in Burlington to charges stemming from an alleged mortgage fraud scheme.
On May 27, 2010, a federal grand jury in Burlington returned a ten-count indictment charging the Komasas with conspiracy and mail, wire and bank fraud.
A tenth count in the indictment charges Thomas Komasa with another bank fraud. According to the indictment, in 2005, Komasa wrote a $19,000 check drawn on an account that had been closed for almost four years. He then deposited the worthless check into a business account at his credit union and engaged in financial transactions with the apparent funds.
