Robert Morgan, one of the largest landlords in the country, was hit with multiple charges this week by both the DOJ and the SEC for allegedly running a Ponzi-type scheme that involves shuffling around money from investors and falsifying loan documents. The charges are the culmination of a cross-agency investigation into a massive multifamily mortgage fraud scheme that raises serious questions about GSE regulations for multifamily financing.
