and to avoid collection on an outstanding unpaid eottrt judgment against FRED DAVIS

ln order to profit f'rom the operation of Cay Clubs, and to pay the financial

obligationsofCay Clubs,FRED DAVIS CLARK,JR.and hisconspitatorswould orchestrate


thepurported sale orretlnanceofCay Clubsunitsthathe controlled.

FRED DAVIS CLARK,JR.,would identify insiders including certain family

members,such asConspirator//1,Conspirator #2, Conspirator //3 and Conspirator #4,to act as


straw borrow ers for loans that were used to purchase Cay Clubs units.

Co-conspirators

prepared and caused to be prepared on behalf of the straw borrowers fraudulent loan
applications. w hich included false inform ation related to em ploym ent, Wages, aSSCtS and

liabilities. These false and t'


raudulent loan applications and docum ents w ere subm itted by
co-conspirators to various m ortgage lenders in the U nited States, including fsnancialinstitutions

such asJP M organ Chase,Fifth Third,and other lenders,including Countrywide Hom e Loans.

In connection with the purchase of properties,FR ED DA V IS C LA R K , JR.and


other conspirators prepared and caused to be prepared false and fraudulent H U D-I Statem ents

FRE D D AV IS C LA R K .JR. executed H UD -I Statem ents in w hich he falsely

controlled by FRED DA V IS CLA RK ,JR.
The iIU D-I Statem ents would failto disclose tsnancial inducem ents m ade to the

borrowers-including com missions,furniture packagesand leaseback paym entspaid orpromised


to bepaid by the selleraspartofthe transaction.

To suppol'
