President Larry Conway's Fraud Case
United Bank locations in Southern West Virginia, under the management of Vice President Larry Conway, have conducted a mortgage fraud for profit scheme dating back to the mid-90’s to early 2000. Former United Bank VP Leon Cooper, currently serving time at the Beckley Federal Institution, participated in the fraud scheme.
But, the fraud did not begin with Mr. Cooper, nor did the mortgage fraud cease upon Mr. Cooper’s guilty plea.
Similarly, a mortgage fraud for profit scheme occurred at United Bank’s Main Street location in Beckley, West Virginia---also under Mr. Conway’s supervision.

    Countrywide Financial

    Countrywide Financial was a mortgage-banking firm. They had one of the largest market shares in the early 2000s, when the mortgage market was booming. “No company pursued growth in home loans more aggressively than Countrywide” (NY Times 12/10). They were the leader of their industry, with 500 billion in home loans, 62,000 employees, 900 offices, and $200 billion in assets. Everything had been going well for the company and its employees, until the mortgage crisis began to unfold at the end of 2006. In June 2009, the SEC filed a civil suit against the founder of the business and some of his top management for fraud and insider trading. This came at the height of the mortgage crisis in the US. The founder of Countrywide, Angelo Mozilo, finally agreed to pay $45million in profits and $22.5 million in civil penalties, in which he still admits no wrongdoing.…

    Marion Hedgepeth Holmes Research Paper

    The discovery of a murder in Philadelphia in October 1894 opened the door to a case that few could believe. Marion Hedgepeth, a one-time cellmate of a man who went by the name H.M. Howard, informed police about a recent scam. It involved insuring a man named Benjamin Pitezel for $10,000 with the Fidelity Mutual Life Association in 1893 in Chicago, and then faking his death in a laboratory explosion by substituting a cadaver. All participants were then to split the insurance payment, but Howard had reneged and run off with the money. Hedgepeth was informing on him as payback, and his detailed letter about the scheme was passed along to the company. In short order, they…

    Schuetz V. Banc One Mortg Corp.

    This case study talks about the difference between legal fees and illegal kickbacks between mortgage barrower, broker, and lender. Bettina J. Scheutz (the barrower) thought it was unfair that she had to pay an additional $516.00 to Home Mortgage Financial Corporation (the mortgage broker) for the yield spread premium. She already paid them $1,661 in direct fees, consisting of $688.00 for loan origination, $688.00 for loan discount, and $285.00 for processing, but Banc One (the mortgage lender) also gave Home Mortgage Financial Corporation a yield spread premium of $516.00 which is paid by the barrower through a higher interest rate. This payment was identified on…

    Enron Case

    Athens has long prided itself and itself as a hub for stimulating intellectual conversations, spurring philosophy, mathematics, and the arts. The reason that new and exciting ideas come from Athens, the democrats argue, is that merchants and sailors are permitted to travel to far off countries and expose themselves to new ideas, and bring them home; foreigners are likewise permitted to enter the city and have conversations with the Athenians as equals. Having these different ideas challenging one another spurred ever more ideas, and old ideas became better developed. The democratic environment, it seems, is the catalyst for new and exciting innovations, and innovation is what keeps Athens strong and adaptable.…
