Mortgage fraud was so rampant it was even being committed using the prison phone in Atlanta City Jail. Fortunately the felon called another suspected felon and the calls were recorded.
Now the perpetrator, Riley Graham, will be serving 10 years for the offense.
Graham was convicted in February of mortgage fraud in federal court in Atlanta and was sent to the Atlanta City Detention Center to await sentencing. But before and after his trial, Graham used the jail phone to lure people into a new mortgage fraud scheme, according to testimony presented Friday in federal court.
The testimony was presented to U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Thrash, who was not happy to hear it.
Thrash threw the book at Graham, sentencing him to 10 years in prison. The prison term, Thrash ordered, will start after he finishes a 20-year sentence Graham already is serving for drug crimes in Michigan. via ajc.com.
