A Danville real estate broker is alleged to have stolen an estimated $1.7 million in a scheme that used fake buyers to purchase homes whose value was below what owners owed the bank, fabricate information about the properties, then resell them at a profit, the U.S. Attorney's office said Thursday. Anthony Keslinke is accused of running a scheme to defraud banks by submitting fraudulent financial hardship letters on behalf of sellers and altering engineering and pest reports on homes to give the appearance that properties were worth significantly less than true fair market value.
