David Kustoff, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee announced that Gwendolyn House, 46, of Collierville, Tennessee, pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Samuel H. Mays to bankruptcy fraud, two counts of wire fraud, money laundering and income tax evasion. House will be sentenced on February 29, 2008.
House was named in a superseding indictment filed on October 24, 2006, charged with wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud, money laundering, fraudulent use of a social security number, and identity theft. An Information was filed on November 29, 2007, charging House with one count of income tax evasion.
At the plea hearing House admitted to providing false and fictitious statements and information to obtain mortgage loan financing to purchase 523 Tribal Land Cove in Collierville in 2001. The fraudulent items included a false social security number, fictitious employment income, and omitted a bankruptcy declaration. House admitted to filing a bankruptcy petition in 2003, to maintain possession of the Tribal Land Cove property and to conceal the scheme. House also admitted to providing false and fictitious statements and information to obtain mortgage loans to finance the purchase of 664 Ridge Springs in Collierville in 2005; and, to engaging in financial transactions with the proceeds obtained through that scheme.
The information filed for the plea hearing, charges House with filing a false federal income tax return for calendar year 2004. During the hearing, House admitted that she had substantially more income during 2004 than the approximately $800 of taxable income reported on her tax return filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
This investigation was conducted by the United States Postal Inspection Service and IRS Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carroll L. Andre III represented the government.
