A Schenectady builder has been extradited from Florida and charged with stealing more than $640,000.
Angelo Rossi, 47, is accused of defrauding Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., a mortgage company, as well as two private lenders, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Thursday. Rossi is accused of stealing over $640,000 from November 2006 through 2007 and was charged with 11 felony counts including grand larceny, forgery and scheme to defraud.
"Angelo Rossi forged documents and scammed businesses and individuals out of hundreds of thousands of dollars," Schneiderman said. "He then left them high and dry by taking off to Florida."
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
