Connecticut Attorney Pleads Guilty

A press release of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut reports on a plea entered by a Connecticut Attorney to the crime of bank fraud. The case arises from the attorney acting as "a closing attorney in connection with the refinancing of mortgage loans."  The press release states that after receiving the money "from the bank as part of the refinancing transactions, he converted the money – more than $1.2 million – to his own use."
