BUSINESSMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO BRIBERY
2011
Overview
Francis Santa admitted orchestrating what federal prosecutors have described as an unique form of fraud: enlisting corrupt bankers to approve business loans for clients with poor credit histories. Santa and his employees at Palm Beach Business Consultants attempted to push through more than $10 million in bogus loans and lines of credit since the firm opened in 2003, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. After federal authorities caught on to Santa's scheme, he began working with them and agreed to introduce an undercover FBI agent to the bankers. The sting culminated in January with the arrests of 15 people, including Santa, a Broward Schools assistant principal, a former Broward Sheriff's investigative aide and seven Broward and Palm Beach bankers. The other people arrested were Palm Beach Business Consultants clients seeking to get loans or lines of credit. Among them were [Thomas Correa], who had been a longtime reserve Broward Sheriff's deputy, and Jeanne Ward, who had been an investigative aide with the Broward Sheriff's Office for 13 years.
