She allegedly committed wire fraud and bank fraud.
Virginia Property (2023): James is alleged to have declared a Norfolk, Virginia, home as her “principal residence” on mortgage documents, potentially to obtain better loan terms. However, as New York’s Attorney General, she is legally required to reside in New York. Neighbors reportedly stated they had never seen her at the Virginia property, which is occupied by her niece.
Brooklyn Property (2001): James allegedly misrepresented the number of units in a Brooklyn brownstone she owns, listing it as a four-unit property instead of five. This discrepancy could affect mortgage eligibility and terms.
Just two parties playing petty politics.
