Open Criminal Division Cases

United States v. Lee Bentley Farkas
According to court documents beginning in or about 2002, Farkas and his co-conspirators engaged in a scheme that misappropriated more than $1.4 billion from Colonial Bank's Mortgage Warehouse Lending Division (MWLD) in Orlando, Florida, and approximately $1.5 billion from Ocala Funding, a mortgage lending facility controlled by TBW. Farkas and his co-conspirators misappropriated this money to, among other things, cover TBW's operating expenses.
