Ashburn Woman Sought In $50M Mortgage Scheme
Members of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the Virginia Attorney General are on the hunt for an Ashburn woman indicted Monday in a $50 million mortgage scheme.
Diane H. Frederick Atari, 42, is accused of fraudulently fixing clients’ credit status and inflating their income on financial records to place them into homes they could not afford. Atari allegedly illegally obtained monies in excess of $1 million in the scheme. The total loss on these fraudulently obtained mortgages is estimated at more than $50 million dollars and authorities believe that more than 100 potential homebuyers may have been victims of her scheme.
Authorities believe Atari left the country last week and is possibly in Jordan. Local law enforcement has contacted INTERPOL to assist in locating Atari. According to Howard Mulholland, investigator with the Virginia Attorney General’s office, authorities believe Atari may be staying with members of her ex-husband’s family who live in the Middle Eastern country.......
