A Modesto man in state prison for swindling $208,000 from victims and awaiting trial on a 30-count federal indictment has been federally indicted once again for his suspected involvement in a mortgage fraud scheme that cost lenders $3.2 million in Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties.
A federal grand jury on Thursday returned a two-count indictment, charging Tony Huy Havens, 37, with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and mail fraud in a mortgage fraud scheme, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento.
Havens acted as a promoter for "The Gift Program," which brought together real estate buyers and sellers and establish a sales price on a property, according to the latest federal indictment.
