ALEXANDRIA, VA—Ging—Hwang “Felicia” Tsoa, 59, of Broadlands, Virginia, was convicted today by a federal jury of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and two counts of bank fraud in connection with her role in a large-scale mortgage fraud scheme.
Dana J. Boente, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Valerie Parlave, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, made the announcement after the verdict was accepted by United States District Judge James C. Cacheris.
Tsoa was indicted on April 4, 2013, by a federal grand jury, and faces a maximum penalty of 30 years on each count when she is sentenced on February 7, 2014.
According to court records and evidence at trial, Tsoa used her position as a loan officer at First Empire Mortgage in Fairfax, Virginia, and Lifetime Financial Services in Herndon, Virginia, to defraud mortgage lenders as part of a scheme to profit from fraudulently obtained mortgage loans and the purchase of residential real estate in northern Virginia. As part of the scheme, co-conspirator Robert Mikail recruited five individuals, known as “straw buyers,” to serve as nominal purchasers in these transactions. Tsoa worked with Mikail and co-conspirator Bing-Sing “Cindy” Wang, the owner of Lifetime Financial Services, to falsify critical information on the straw buyers’ loan applications in order to get the loans approved and the transactions closed. In particular, virtually all the fraudulent loan applications falsely identified Mikail’s Ashburn, Virginia jewelry store, Opus Jewelry, as the borrower’s employer, which the conspirators would then falsely verify to the lenders as part of the loan approval process.
In total, the conspiracy involved the purchase of approximately 36 homes in Ashburn, Virginia, from 2005 through 2007 and approximately $19.9 million in loan proceeds disbursed on the basis of fraudulent loan applications. According to the evidence at trial, Tsoa served as the loan officer on at least nine of these transactions, which resulted in approximately $1.4 million in losses to lenders.
Co-conspirator Wang pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge on November 20, 2012, and was sentenced to 24 months in prison on February 26, 2013. Co-conspirator Mikail pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge on July 17, 2013, and will be sentenced on January 10, 2014
This case was investigated by the FBI’s Washington Field Office. Assistant United States Attorney Paul J. Nathanson and Jasmine H. Yoon prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
