An Arlington real estate appraiser has been sentenced to five years in prison after participating in what U.S. Attorney Richard Roper called a widespread North Texas home scam that cost Countrywide Home Loans millions of dollars.

In August, Gandhi Ben Morka, 52, was found guilty on a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, four counts of wire fraud and two counts of mail fraud after a weeklong trial.

In addition to the five-year sentence handed down Tuesday, he must repay $2.3 million.
I say "or not" because that was the "plea" for the trial. If I was doing that, or had been, I'd cop a plea also............ for a lessor charge.
Don't believe everything you think ;)

What are they SMOKING?
