Alleged Fraudster Indicted in $1.8 Million Mortgage Fraud Scheme

Darryl Stanley Paxton, Jr., a/k/a David Sosa, 34, Broward County, Florida, formerly of Maryland, on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and fraudulent use of a Social Security number in connection with a scheme to defraud lenders of over $1.8 million, using a false identity. The indictment was returned on July 14, 2010 and unsealed upon the arrest of the defendant in Broward County, Florida, on state charges there.

According to the 15-count indictment, between 1997 and 2007 Paxton utilized the identification, including the Social Security numbers of a man and woman, both of whom had the initials DEB. During that period of time, Paxton began to use the fictitious identity, David Sosa, creating or obtaining a fraudulent Virginia driver's license purportedly issued on May 12, 1999, in the name of David Sosa. Paxton also created or obtained Georgia and District of Columbia driver's licenses in the name of David Sosa and on June 23, 2003, was issued a Maryland driver's license in that name.
