He described fraud for property, where criminals commit mortgage fraud so they can live in a property. Shipchandler also discussed fraud for profit, where the bad guy pulls out significant money from mortgage fraud transactions without actually being part of the transaction. Shipchandler explained that before he can prosecute a case, another U.S. Department of Justice associate has to analyze the financial records to determine what might have happened.
