TAMPA – Tampa resident Luis Uribe pleaded guilty today in a $6 million mortgage fraud scam that went on for more than a year, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Uribe, 28, was a licensed mortgage broker involved in Bay General Contracting Services. The company obtained dozens of fraudulent loans between July 2006 and September 2007, but never built anything, according to the news release.
Uribe pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He could face as much as 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Tampa Police Department investigated the case.
