Feds arrest seven bank employees in 10 million business loan scam
January 17, 2011
Total Loss:
$10 million
A Boca Raton loan broker led a scam that pried more than $10 million in bogus business loans from area banks, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Frank Santa, 51, of Boca Raton, ran Palm Beach Business Consultants, a loan brokerage that specialized in landing fraudulent business loans for borrowers with shaky credit, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Santa used bogus loan applications to apply for the loans, which borrowers didn't repay, prosecutors said.
