Ex-attorney pleads to bank fraud
A former mortgage settlement attorney from Snyder pleaded guilty to a charge of felony bank fraud in U.S. District Court.
Robert Goods, 49, now faces up to 30 years in prison, a fine of $1 million, or both.
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Buffalo said that on at least two occasions Goods misused money that was wired into his business account to pay off mortgages refinanced through Sun Trust Bank of Florida. The first wire transfer amounted to more than $423,000; the second was for $128,000.
As a result, Sun Trust lost a total of $521,872.84.
