(November 22, 2023) &#8211; California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the sentencing of Robert Sedlar, convicted on 100 felony counts in a $7 million mortgage fraud scheme targeting vulnerable homeowners across 11 counties.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Sedlar, president of Los Angeles-based Grand View Financial LLC, promised foreclosure assistance but, through deceptive practices, caused every victim to lose their homes. Sentenced to 25 years and four months in prison, Sedlar&#8217;s scheme involved false court documents, bankruptcies, and collecting funds while failing to eliminate mortgage liens.<\/p>\n<p>The victims, including an El Dorado Hills homeowner, faced financial loss and distress. Sedlar&#8217;s conviction, following a five-week trial, included charges of conspiracy, filing false documents, grand theft, elder abuse, and prohibited acts by a foreclosure consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Two other employees, Steven Rogers and Audrey Gan, pleaded guilty to related charges.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution, led by the Department of Justice\u2019s Fraud and Special Prosecutions Section, resulted from a joint investigation involving federal and local law enforcement agencies, emphasizing the commitment to holding bad actors accountable and warning against scams targeting Californians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sedlar&#8217;s victims included an El Dorado Hills homeowner.
