A federal grand jury has indicted a Corinth man on money laundering charges in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme that involved six homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the U.S. District Attorney’s office announced Friday.
The indictment alleges that Quincy Dynell Harrington, 40, a mortgage loan broker, and two conspirators caused lenders to fund mortgage loans in excess of the properties’ purchase prices. The indictment also alleges that the conspirators used the extra loan money to pay themselves and to pay kickbacks to the home buyers.
Jimila Nicole Allen, 37, of Grand Heights also was charged with money laundering.
If convicted, each could face up to 20 years in federal prison.
