I'm so glad to see this kind of thing is being addressed by federal prosecutors. It will make board members finally think twice about using just whatever vendor the property management company has on a list. Or about using companies that managers hold ownership in or is an affiliate of like an attorney that they have no direct contact with or have paid a retainer for services.
The following links is an HOA fraud case in Vegas that has thus far has 10 taking a plea & is only the tip of the iceberg. They don't define a "straw buyer" until the 9th person agrees to a plea deal, so I thought I'd give you a heads up. A straw buyer is when the a buyer is sponsored to buy a home in a specific HOA. It sounds like the sponsors paid for the house and the "straw buyers" bills too.
