Two Mesa brothers who pleaded guilty to using their business in a $28 million mortgage fraud scheme, have both been sentenced to federal prison and ordered to pay restitution to banks.
Scott and Kevin Lee used Summit Capital to originate fraudulent loans using bogus loan applications, forged signatures, and false financial and construction-related documents.
The Lees were among five conspirators in the kind of mortgage-fraud schemes that plagued the Valley when the housing market crashed in the past decade.
