On Monday, Las Vegas attorney David Amesbury pleaded guilty for his role in the well-publicised scheme to fraudulently gain control of condominium homeowners’ associations (HOAs) in the Las Vegas area so that the HOAs would direct business to a certain law firm and construction company, and for his role in a scheme to commit bank fraud.
According to the DOJ website, Amesbury, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Amesbury is the eighth person to plead guilty in connection with the scheme to defraud HOAs in the Las Vegas area. Amesbury also pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme to submit false information to a bank with the intention of obtaining a bank loan for a café in downtown Las Vegas of which he was an owner.
As a tipster pointed out: the ABA website has the details here.
I wonder how Amesbury's wife is handling all this?
