Document:
This past week, a former LSU football player pled guilty to Bank Fraud in the US Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Lucky for him, Robert Packnett avoided jail time and was sentenced to 5 years federal probation. He was also ordered to pay approximately $233,000 in restitution. His indictment to Bank Fraud arose from the practice of Mortgage Fraud. According to the indictment, between 2011 and 2012 he submitted doctored documents to First NBC Bank overstating his income. He also applied for at least six mortgages, refinanced mortgages and commercial lines of credit. In order to qualify for these mortgages, Packnett had to submit proof of income; he submitted documentation overstating the monthly rental payments he received from tenants, as well as claiming income from properties that were in fact vacant.
