An outrageous affront against the people of Maine. The worst part is that our politicians have been enabling this sort of behavior for decades. And even with evidence before them, they'll avert their gaze and cry out "Racism!" against those uncovering such fraud. Shameful.
The indicted scammers have all been buying real estate throughout Maine. The ringleader, Noora Abd, dropped $2.7M on these condos outside of Augusta last year.
All of the money laundering from foreign fraud is undoubtedly increasing real estate prices for middle class families looking to buy homes.
