Real Estate Man Admits Mass Swindle in Chicago
Chicago real estate man Milles Fort, a 37 year veteran, confessed to defrauding 13 victims of about 300000 via fraudulent mortgages on local properties. He forged mortgage signatures including a dead notary, using legitimate past sales to lure investments. Assistant State’s Attorney Ted Cooper said losses equaled the life savings of the victims, with funds diverted to stock market bets and dubious mortgages. Fort said total alleged investments reached 298465, though Cooper noted the full amount may be uncertain.
