NEWS / Former Edmond Woman Pleads Guilty to Mortgage Fraud Ponzi SchemeOklahoma City, OK—Earlier today, DAWN QUIROGA, 39, formerly of Edmond and now from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, pled guilty to money laundering and failure to file a tax return stemming from a mortgage fraud Ponzi scheme, announced John C. Richter, United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma. “This scheme lured its investor victims by promising significant returns that were too good to be true,” said U.S. Attorney John C. Richter. “Instead, it was a sham. I want to remind the public to be diligent and vigilant when making investment decisions, as far too many predators are waiting to take your money when you let your guard down.” According to court records, in June of 2006 Quiroga began soliciting investors for a business she called Buyers Solutions Marketing, LLC (BSM). Quiroga told investors that BSM was a down-payment-assistance program providing short-term, high interest loans for people to use as down payments when purchasing homes and that their investments would fund the down payments in return for receiving certain returns once the loans were repaid. Numerous investors relied on Quiroga’s statements and wired money to her to invest in BSM. Almost immediately after BSM came into existence, it became clear that BSM could not make any money on down-payment-assistance loans. Nevertheless, Quiroga continued to solicit investors falsely claiming that BSM was successful when, instead, BSM became a Ponzi scheme where money from new investors was used to make payments to prior investors over a period of about two years. During that time period, Quiroga also funneled large amounts of money out of BSM to buy personal items such as new cars, a new home, and furnishings and electronics for the home. As a result, dozens of investors lost money through this fraud scheme. In addition to pleading guilty to money laundering, Quiroga also admitted that she failed to file an income tax return for calendar year 2007 when she had earned over $2.5 million in gross income. At sentencing, Quiroga faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on the money laundering count and up to a year in prison and a fine of $25,000 on the tax charge. A sentencing hearing will be set by the Court in approximately 90 days. These charges are the result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Secret Service. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeb Boatman. Tags: court record, court records, criminal investigation, |
