May 20, 2011

A Shaker Heights, Ohio man, Beyond Wynn, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in a mortgage fraud scheme that involved more than two dozen properties, announced Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. Wynn, age 37, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Wynn admitted selling properties, and profiting from those sales, to people he knew to be straw buyers, according to court documents. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark S. Bennett following an investigation by the Cleveland Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
