- Developers: Were payments made to the broker or buyer and not accurately reflected on all forms?
- Buyers: Were false statements used to obtain a loan? Were illegitimate documents submitted (with false income, asset or liability information) to obtain a mortgage? Was a straw buyer used to obtain a loan?
