And her brother has fled to Bolivia. God knows what he was up to. Interesting the Post omits information on anyone's immigration status.

I have heard that there are really wealthy illegal immigrants here. I think it was from a caller on Rush. They apparently make very large purchases, own expensive homes, etc. and form a network among themselves, and underground economy as it were.

I guess this one got caught.

I’m happy just knowing of the Post’s downward financial spiral.

The punishment doesn’t begin to fit the crime. She should be made to pay for the rest of her life for what she has done to the innocent victims.

if it involves a latino surname, it’s got to be bad news, eh? WAPO is dishing it out, and FR is eating from its hands.

ID theft should be a federal crime.

I remember when she was arrested, can't recall if she was illegal but her brother was and managed to make it out of the country before she got caught.

Cabrera-Rivera and her husband were laborers who did not earn enough money to buy a $419,000 townhouse

They're just here commiting fraud that no Americans will commit.

This cannot be true. Everyone knows that a driver’s license can’t possibly be used to falsify one’s identity. Just ask New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. </sarc>

Nail that mortgage broker too!

[rineaux]

but a mortgage broker got them the loan in Lara’s name.

What happened to the mortgage broker who may have committed a crime as well. He knew the folks were not Jose Lara. Jail time too?

ID theft can be quickly reduced by allowed the ID Theft victim to sue the financial institution that loans in his name. Unfortunately, Congress protected the financial institutions, so careless reigns.

Just stealing money no one else was stealing. Just think they almost got a pardon and a new house. Just Damn!

The DA refused to go after my ex after she took me for 10s of thousands--he said it was "community property". After we were divorced!

I worked my ass off with the credit companies and got it declared fraud, but they won't prosecute her....

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

didn’t think that one through huh?

A woman I work with had her identity stolen. All sorts of shenanigans going on her name (including the purchase of airplane parts... go figure). Anyhoo, she was tracking them all down ,and ended up chatting with the customer service department of a California utility company, arranging to have the utilities that had been illegally set up under her name shut off. The customer service rep actually had the gall to ask her if she was sure she wanted to do that, since the people living in the home had kids.
