Conspiracy Case Details Involving Becker and Wife
Prosecutors allege the scheme began in 1999 during Becker's tenure as president and CEO of Countrywide Bank and intensified after his 2003 firing. Brenda Schmitt Becker admitted in her plea that she helped conceal assets and liquidate property to evade government action, including fictitious loans, asset sales in Finney County Kansas, a yacht purchase, and offshore holding structures. Sentencing set for Aug. 29 with a projected one year and one day term.
