Former Baltimore DA Marilyn Mosby could be about to lose her Florida vacation condo - the same property she was found to have bought fraudulently, days after revealing she plans to ask for a presidential pardon to avoid a lengthy jail term.
Mosby, 44, bought the property in February 2021 for $476,000 but the feds are now looking to seize it and sell the place.
If there are profits from the sale, Mosby would get back her original $47,600 down payment, prosecutors have stated.
During her trial on perjury and mortgage fraud charges, the court heard how Mosby lied on her mortgage application for a $428,000 loan for the Longboat Key, Florida home, including the false claim she received a $5,000 gift from her husband.
Prosecutors said she claimed to receive the $5,000 in order to secure a lower interest rate, while in actual fact she sent the funds to her husband first for him to then send it back to her in what was seen as a financial sleight of hand.
Federal prosecutors have now filed notice that they will look to seize the property, likely on the same day as Mosby's May 23 sentencing.
The condominium sits along Florida's Gulf Coast and is nicknamed 'The Tree House'.
The home is one of two Florida vacation properties Mosby purchased during the coronavirus pandemic using money withdrawn from her city retirement account.
Mosby took about $90,000 in order to put down payments on the two homes.
But prosecutors said Mosby lied in order to make early withdrawals about claiming she had suffered a pandemic-related financial setback under the CARES Act, federal legislation that offered emergency economic relief during the health crisis.
Prosecutors said Mosby was earning a gross annual salary of nearly $250,000 at the time as state's attorney...

Within weeks, five of the officers sued Mosby, alleging false arrest, defamation and other misdeeds. A federal appeals court ruled Mosby had immunity, and the US Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, WBAL reported.

RICO all the government gangsters, including the head of the Biden Crime Family.
I know Longboat Key...very nice indeed!
Funny how they all went on spending sprees the instant Bi-Dung was installed in 2021
Me too. Used to live there. Love Drydock and Salty Dog. Anywho....476 on LBK is gonna get you a 1 BR 1 bath unit with no ocean view. Used to live at hidaway no. iv.
I detest this woman but see this as government overreach. She did commit perjury on her loan application and pension documents to get cash for the purchase BUT in the end it was her money and can be resolved with restitution, some jail time and fines. If she is unable to pay all of that, then they should sell of the condo to pay it.
Mosby, in her own mind, is a legal giant in the annals of the American jurisprudence system. Courageous, learned, incorruptible...right up there with Oliver Wendell Holmes whom she affectionately calls Oliver 3X
Unfortunately, this is your typical government appointee.
“...in the end it was her money and can be resolved with restitution, some jail time and fines. If she is unable to pay all of that, then they should sell of the condo to pay it.”
Couldda been worse. Imagine if she was Donald Trump where the mortgagee made money off the deal, and there were no victims and where there was no fraud.
She is another poster child of a life ruined by forced Afirmative Action and a helping of DEI.
Mosby is a terrible person who shouldn’tbe allowed to practice law, but this isn’t a crime anyone should face jail over. Trying to make fibbing on some paperwork sound like it’s really worthy of a threat of 30 years in jail just makes everyone look stupid.

She didn’t pay off the capo. Otherwise she would have been untouchable.
