Hurricane Couple Pleads Guilty


WEST VIRGINIA....
Thirty-seven year old Deborah Joyce and 39 year old Todd Joyce from Hurricane pleaded guilty Wednesday to their involvement in a mortgage fraud scheme. They admitted to misleading people into buying homes as investment properties at prices higher than what the homes were actually worth. Deborah Joyce pleaded to a two-count information charging her with conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud and to tax evasion. Joyce said she became involved with a Utah group that told her they found local private investors who were interested in purchasing properties in the Stonegate subdivision in Hurricane. Joyce admitted to inflating appraisals on 6 homes in that area. Todd Joyce pleaded to aiding and abetting and tax evasion, admitting to falsifying income information while applying for a loan to build a home in the Stonegate subdivision. Both face up to 35 years in prison when sentenced on January 3, 2011.
