According to Michael J. Garcia, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Mr. Bernard B. Kerik, former New York City police commissioner and commissioner of the New York City Department of Corrections, allegedly borrowed part of his down-payment from a Manhattan Realtor, but falsely denied that he had done so to the bank that extended him the mortgage loan for his purchase of a apartment.
Kerik has been charged with making false statements on a loan application in connection with purchase of the apartment in Riverdale, N.Y.
In St Louis a man has been sentenced for filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy using a false Social Security number. According to Michael W. Reap, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, between August and October 2005, Shawn Cannon, knowing he would be unable to qualify for a loan to purchase a home using his true identity, used fraudulent information, including a false Social Security number and false payroll information, to obtain a loan from Pulaski Bank to purchase a personal residence in Florissant, Missouri, for approximately $300,000.
Cannon failed to make required payments. In December 2008, Cannon filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, again using the false Social Security number.
After pleading guilty in June to charges connected to a scheme to use a stolen identity to buy a home, Cannon was sentenced to 60 months in prison.
