CONNECTICUT.- David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that GENARO R. HATHAWAY, 47, of Weston, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Mark R. Kravitz in New Haven to 33 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for participating in two mortgage fraud conspiracies.
According to court documents and statements made in court, HATHAWAY, an attorney, conspired with his husband, Steven Kottage, to commit wire fraud by making materially false statements to H&R Block Home Mortgage, Inc., including a false loan application, W-2, employment verification, and pay stub in connection with a mortgage on a home on Fire Island, New York. In addition, HATHAWAY and Kottage conspired to commit bank fraud by submitting a materially false loan application to Washington Mutual to refinance a condominium in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. A co-defendant, Mary Ellen Durso, served as the straw owner for the condo in order to obtain the fraudulent loan proceeds for the benefit of HATHAWAY and Kottage. Through both schemes, HATHAWAY and Kottage defrauded Wells Fargo and Freddie Mac of more than $600,000.
The investigation of this matter revealed that HATHAWAY and Kottage fraudulently appropriated nearly $750,000 in HATHAWAY’s clients’ funds while HATHAWAY was serving as the clients’ closing attorney for real estate transactions. When confronted by those clients, HATHAWAY and Kottage devised the mortgage fraud schemes to repay the stolen money.
On April 29, 2011, HATHAWAY pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy and one count of tax evasion.
On April 21, 2011, Kottage pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy stemming from these schemes. On November 16, 2011, he was sentenced to 41 months of imprisonment.
On December 14, 2010, Durso pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and five counts of filing false tax returns. On March 9, 2011, she was sentenced to three years of probation, the first six months of which she must serve in home confinement.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant
