If you're going to sell a house that you steal, you do it at like a fire sale price and just try to fire it through the title companies or whatever.

So if you're running your calculator, he gets $260,000 in profits from scheme number three.

One property, one homeowner, he stole their childhood home.

It was like a sad story that came out of the sentencing.

Scheme four, he purchases a couple of vehicles, a Dodge Durango for $71,000, a Chevy Silverado for $54,000 using auto loans from a credit union.

Here's the thing, Matt Cox.

He had an attorney that he did not like, evidently.

He looked at one of the attorney's checks that somehow he had, and he looks at the routing number and the account number at the bottom.

He provided that routing number and that account number to the credit unions who gave him the loans for these cars, and they began doing auto debits of the attorney's account to pay his monthly car payments.

The attorney did not have his eye on the ball and ends up paying $98,000 toward the purchase of these two vehicles.

You'd be amazed how many people get caught for crimes because of the dumb mistakes they do on little things.

When I was an FBI agent, I used to talk about people who get arrested for jaywalking on their way out of the bank robbery.

You don't... Pay attention to the little things that are going to trip you up.

The stuff in... Then you may get away with the big stuff.

Yeah.

It's an interesting perspective.

It's kind of like that broken windows theory of law enforcement, right?

Right.

You deal with the broken windows and the people who are hopping the subway trains and

Yeah, for free.
