Seven Falls founder Vinson faces prison in fraud scheme
U.S. District Court sentenced Buck Cashion, Chapman, Durham and Aaron Ollis for conspiracy to defraud. Vinson, lead developer, borrowed 25 million in 2006 to build Seven Falls on Etowah land, but the project stalled by 2008. Prosecutors allege straw loans, inflated lot prices, kickbacks, and a $4 million Queens Gap scheme to prop up the project.
