A Las Vegas man accused by the Nevada Secretary of State of 32 felony counts, including fraud, theft and filing false documents made his first appearance before Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangleo this morning (Jan. 4) in a Las Vegas courtroom.
Matthew Marlon next appears on January 18 for a preliminary hearing in the Justice Court. The criminal complaint, filed by the Nevada Attorney General, accuses Marlon of stealing from homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments. Marlon allegedly would enter into contracts with homeowners promising to pay their mortgages and then fail to do so in an illegal practice called equity skimming.
