Text: 5 Bales contacted Dominion in connection with an alleged real estate deal. In October, 1985, Bales ostensibly contracted with Alex Arnold (again doing business as Arnold Financial Services) to buy, remodel, and resell property in Arlington, Virginia. He set about financing this transaction by applying for a loan from Dominion. On the loan application form, he supplied bank officials with the same social security number he had furnished to Central Fidelity. Bales also gave Dominion the same personal and corporate financial statements he had supplied to Central Fidelity, with Jo Ware, as CPA, printed on them, as well as his 1983 and 1984 tax returns. Bales' piece de resistance was the real estate contract itself, which described the property as 127 North Park Drive, Arlington, Virginia. The contract showed Bales as purchaser, and Jo Ware Associates as the seller's agent. Unable to verify the information provided, Dominion cancelled Bales' application. The bank never actually loaned him any money.
