The last couple of years, for example this year to date, we’ve lost a little over a 100 officers, and I think about the same the last calendar year.

We assessed it and they went back to their regular duties. In January, there may be another alternative or option that we’re going to have to do and actually utilize at some point if we’re just not stable.

Online predators that profit from the extortion of private photos will be investigated and prosecuted for this reprehensible and illegal internet activity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bollaert could face prison time and fines if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s charges are just the latest in a series of legal entanglements for Bollaert and YouGotPosted. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/11/tp-revenge-porn-charges-are-filed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Union-Tribune reports\u003c/a>: “In an unrelated federal case, he is charged with making false statements — giving a false home address — while acquiring 31 firearms from different gun dealers in San Diego. He entered a guilty plea in November and is to be sentenced Jan. 17.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the company was sued twice in federal court — once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/McGibney-v-IsAnyoneUp.net-Eric-S-Chanson-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevada\u003c/a>, once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/Lindsay%20Middleton%20%20Complaint%20-%20Filed%20Version.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan\u003c/a> — over \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/04/05/revenge-porn-yougotposted-held-in-contempt-lose-case-to-bullyville/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trademark\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/05/03/revenge-porn-site-yougotposted-sued-again/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright\u003c/a> infringement claims. In the Nevada case, YouGotPosted failed to respond to trademark allegations, then was held in contempt and hit with a $300,000 default judgment. The suits named both Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a New Jersey man described as Bollaert’s partner in setting up the alleged YouGotPosted extortion scheme, and Chanson’s parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/Arrest%20warrant_0.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An affidavit\u003c/a> in support of today’s arrest warrant from state Department of Justice special agent Brian Cardwell describes how YouGotPosted works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When a user (poster) of Ugotposted posts images to the site, the site requires the poster to add a link identifying the posted individual’s (victim’s) Facebook page along with the victim’s full name, location, and age. Ugotposted also allows for other types of social media links to be added, such as Twitter and Tumblr. Ugotposted allows Internet users to access the website, post comments about the victims, which most are degrading, and view the victims’ posted personal identifiable information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And this, according to the warrant, is how the alleged extortion scheme operated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bollaert extorted money from victims that were posted on Ugotposted by directing the victims to the website changemyreputation.com and asking for money to removed the images from Ugotposted. There is evidence that shows Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a former business partner of Bollaert, created the websites. When a victim inquired about removing the images from Ugotposted, they would not receive a response; however, Ugotposted hosted a link to the webpage changemyreputation.com and for a fee, the images would be removed from Ugotposted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cardwell’s affidavit also recounts a Sept. 18, 2013, interview with Bollaert held in the community of La Jolla, in northern San Diego:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He stated that he owned Ugotposted and that he had recently shut the site down. Bollaert stated he and his friend Eric Chanson started the site and Chanson has not had any action with the site since December. Bollaert stated, “At the beginning, it was fun and entertaining, but now it’s just like ruining my life.” … I asked Bollaert did he understand what it was doing to the people being posted on by requiring the full name, residing city, and link to the person’s Facebook page. Bollaert stated, “Yeah, I realize like this is not a good situation. I feel bad about the whole thing and like I just don’t want to do it anymore. I mean I know a lot of people are getting screwed over like on the site. Like their lives are getting ruined.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site’s impact can be judged from the experience of 14 “Jane Doe” victims listed in Cardwell’s affidavits. The victims, all women, all reportedly told investigators of nonstop harassment that followed their pictures appearing on YouGotPosted. The affidavit also includes emails to YouGotPosted from those begging, or demanding, to have images removed. Here’s one:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… This website is an absolute disgrace. It makes me sick to my stomach you run this as your little family business. I had pictures posted as of last night … I demand that you delete them now. I have gone to the police, I’ve had a restraining order put in place because of this site, my phone has been going off EVERY TWO MINUTES with strange men sending inappropriate things to me. It’s disgusting. … I don’t know what gets you off about ruining people’s lives, but I was under aged in the photos posted of me so yes, you are showing child pornography. Delete every single one of the photos with my information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/11/tp-revenge-porn-charges-are-filed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Union-Tribune reports\u003c/a>: “In an unrelated federal case, he is charged with making false statements — giving a false home address — while acquiring 31 firearms from different gun dealers in San Diego. He entered a guilty plea in November and is to be sentenced Jan. 17.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the company was sued twice in federal court — once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/McGibney-v-IsAnyoneUp.net-Eric-S-Chanson-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevada\u003c/a>, once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/Lindsay%20Middleton%20%20Complaint%20-%20Filed%20Version.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan\u003c/a> — over \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/04/05/revenge-porn-yougotposted-held-in-contempt-lose-case-to-bullyville/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trademark\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/05/03/revenge-porn-site-yougotposted-sued-again/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright\u003c/a> infringement claims. In the Nevada case, YouGotPosted failed to respond to trademark allegations, then was held in contempt and hit with a $300,000 default judgment. The suits named both Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a New Jersey man described as Bollaert’s partner in setting up the alleged YouGotPosted extortion scheme, and Chanson’s parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/Arrest%20warrant_0.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An affidavit\u003c/a> in support of today’s arrest warrant from state Department of Justice special agent Brian Cardwell describes how YouGotPosted works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When a user (poster) of Ugotposted posts images to the site, the site requires the poster to add a link identifying the posted individual’s (victim’s) Facebook page along with the victim’s full name, location, and age. Ugotposted also allows for other types of social media links to be added, such as Twitter and Tumblr. Ugotposted allows Internet users to access the website, post comments about the victims, which most are degrading, and view the victims’ posted personal identifiable information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And this, according to the warrant, is how the alleged extortion scheme operated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bollaert extorted money from victims that were posted on Ugotposted by directing the victims to the website changemyreputation.com and asking for money to removed the images from Ugotposted. There is evidence that shows Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a former business partner of Bollaert, created the websites. When a victim inquired about removing the images from Ugotposted, they would not receive a response; however, Ugotposted hosted a link to the webpage changemyreputation.com and for a fee, the images would be removed from Ugotposted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cardwell’s affidavit also recounts a Sept. 18, 2013, interview with Bollaert held in the community of La Jolla, in northern San Diego:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He stated that he owned Ugotposted and that he had recently shut the site down. Bollaert stated he and his friend Eric Chanson started the site and Chanson has not had any action with the site since December. Bollaert stated, “At the beginning, it was fun and entertaining, but now it’s just like ruining my life.” … I asked Bollaert did he understand what it was doing to the people being posted on by requiring the full name, residing city, and link to the person’s Facebook page. Bollaert stated, “Yeah, I realize like this is not a good situation. I feel bad about the whole thing and like I just don’t want to do it anymore. I mean I know a lot of people are getting screwed over like on the site. Like their lives are getting ruined.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site’s impact can be judged from the experience of 14 “Jane Doe” victims listed in Cardwell’s affidavits. The victims, all women, all reportedly told investigators of nonstop harassment that followed their pictures appearing on YouGotPosted. The affidavit also includes emails to YouGotPosted from those begging, or demanding, to have images removed. Here’s one:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… This website is an absolute disgrace. It makes me sick to my stomach you run this as your little family business. I had pictures posted as of last night … I demand that you delete them now. I have gone to the police, I’ve had a restraining order put in place because of this site, my phone has been going off EVERY TWO MINUTES with strange men sending inappropriate things to me. It’s disgusting. … I don’t know what gets you off about ruining people’s lives, but I was under aged in the photos posted of me so yes, you are showing child pornography. Delete every single one of the photos with my information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

What happened exactly in the critical moments before the altercation, none of which is captured on camera?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say that when plainclothes officers tried to detain 20-year-old D’Paris Williams for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk near his home in the Mission District neighborhood last Friday, Williams wouldn’t stop. Officers confronted him as he tried to flee into his apartment, police say, and the situation escalated when he tried to resist arrest. The video above, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBX2x48l4U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a second one\u003c/a> posted this week, shows what happened after the incident began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2013/11/18/video-prompts-cries-of-s-f-police-brutality/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the San Francisco Chronicle described the arrest \u003c/a>later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It escalated to a point where (Williams) was trying to resist arrest,” said Officer Gordon Shyy, a department spokesman. The officers “proned him out on the ground, and he still continued to struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams’ sister, Christina Williams, 21, said officers beat her brother needlessly outside their front door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was just coming in the house,” she said in an interview Monday. “And they want to say they’re coming after him for riding a bike on the sidewalk. He had to bring the bike on the sidewalk to come into the house.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Police say five officers were injured in the brawl, which led to a total of four arrests. Those detained included a man who was shoved and punched by a plainclothes officer. The community responded with \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/valencia-gardens-residents-protest-police-action/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Tuesday night protest\u003c/a> of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119194\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/DJ-7.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-119194 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/DJ-7-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Residents of Valencia Gardens Apartments and others protest the arrest of D’Paris Williams.

In the Grant case, numerous bystanders recorded the confrontation leading to the fatal shooting. In the New Mexico event, \u003ca href=\"http://www.krqe.com/news/crime/state-cop-shoots-at-minivan-full-of-kids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police video showed details \u003c/a>of a wild altercation that led to shots fired and the arrest of a mother and her 14-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As retired Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge LaDoris Cordell told me this week, the presence of that constantly unfolding video record has changed policing forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, it’s not just the officers’ accounts anymore, but you have all this video out there,” Judge Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knows a thing or two about law enforcement controversies. She’s currently San Jose’s\u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/ipa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Independent Police Auditor\u003c/a>, assisting victims of police abuse and misconduct. I called Cordell to get her perspective on the incident in San Francisco. She says police behavior is just one side of the coin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Excessive force is in the eye of the beholder. We don’t have all the details,” Cordell said. “Why did other people get involved? Did they make threats against the police? Were they hostile?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell thinks every officer should wear a camera. She believes that would help provide an objective record, protecting both the officer and the person who is approached, reducing the inherent problems of “he said, she said” scenarios. Just this week, Palo Alto’s City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_24551145/police-palo-alto-wear-video-cameras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved\u003c/a> cameras for some of its patrol cars and officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As San Francisco Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius noted in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/nevius/article/S-F-police-seek-cameras-to-capture-whole-picture-4997404.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article\u003c/a> published Thursday, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr also wants his officers to wear cameras. In fact, the department will soon begin a pilot program equipping 50 plainclothes officers with small, cigar-shaped video devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/newsroom-115x65.jpg\" alt=\"newsroom-115x65\" width=\"115\" height=\"65\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWe’ll explore this topic further and dig deeper on the issue of relations between police and communities of color on this week’s edition of KQED Newsroom.

What happened exactly in the critical moments before the altercation, none of which is captured on camera?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say that when plainclothes officers tried to detain 20-year-old D’Paris Williams for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk near his home in the Mission District neighborhood last Friday, Williams wouldn’t stop. Officers confronted him as he tried to flee into his apartment, police say, and the situation escalated when he tried to resist arrest. The video above, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBX2x48l4U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a second one\u003c/a> posted this week, shows what happened after the incident began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2013/11/18/video-prompts-cries-of-s-f-police-brutality/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the San Francisco Chronicle described the arrest \u003c/a>later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It escalated to a point where (Williams) was trying to resist arrest,” said Officer Gordon Shyy, a department spokesman. The officers “proned him out on the ground, and he still continued to struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams’ sister, Christina Williams, 21, said officers beat her brother needlessly outside their front door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was just coming in the house,” she said in an interview Monday. “And they want to say they’re coming after him for riding a bike on the sidewalk. He had to bring the bike on the sidewalk to come into the house.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Police say five officers were injured in the brawl, which led to a total of four arrests. Those detained included a man who was shoved and punched by a plainclothes officer. The community responded with \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2013/11/valencia-gardens-residents-protest-police-action/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Tuesday night protest\u003c/a> of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119194\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/DJ-7.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-119194 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/DJ-7-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Residents of Valencia Gardens Apartments and others protest the arrest of D’Paris Williams.

The deal also stipulates that JPMorgan provide $4 billion in mortgage relief to states including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a news conference in his Sacramento office, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said the deal “is the largest single-company civil settlement” in the history of the Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2013/11/19/5927759/13-billion-jpmorgan-settlement.html\">Sacramento Bee\u003c/a>, \"Wagner and four attorneys on his staff were key players in the settlement by virtue of their year-old investigation of JPMorgan. Wagner’s focus on the rampant mortgage fraud in the Central Valley led to high ranking justice officials deciding to let him carry the ball in a nationwide investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government accused the nation's largest bank of not fully disclosing to investors the risks of buying defective mortgage-backed securities. Their implosion in 2008 helped send the economy to its lowest depths since the Depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“JP Morgan Chase profited by giving California’s pension funds incomplete information about mortgage investments,” Attorney General Kamala Harris said in a statement. “This settlement returns the money to California’s pension funds that JP Morgan wrongfully took from them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here is the Associated Press story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Don Thompson\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SACRAMENTO — JPMorgan Chase & Co. will pay $299 million to California's public employee and teacher pension funds as part of a settlement related to mortgage-related investments, state Attorney General Kamala Harris announced Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money will settle claims that the company misrepresented the value of residential mortgage-backed securities sold to the California Public Employees Retirement System and California State Teachers' Retirement System between 2004 and 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"JP Morgan Chase profited by giving California's pension funds incomplete information about mortgage investments,'' Harris said in a statement. \"This settlement returns the money to California's pension funds that JP Morgan wrongfully took from them.''\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is part of a broader, $13 billion settlement between the investment company and the U.S. Department of Justice. Under the larger settlement, which also was announced Tuesday, JPMorgan will provide $4 billion in mortgage relief to the states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said her office's investigation found that documents provided by the company did not accurately disclose the nature of the underlying mortgages and that the company did not properly eliminate risky loans from the securities it was offering the pension funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement will reimburse the funds for the losses they took for investing in mortgage-backed securities offered by JPMorgan, Washington Mutual Bank and Bear Stearns. JPMorgan acquired the other two companies in 2008 and has said most of its mortgage-backed securities came from them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $4 billion in consumer mortgage relief that is included in the larger national settlement goes to those who were harmed by the same three firms. That money will go toward loan modifications, forgiving the principal on mortgages and efforts to improve blighted neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris' office could not predict how much of the $4 billion will come to California but said the distribution will be overseen by an independent monitor to make sure the company meets its obligations under the settlement. It was not clear how the $300 million is being carved from the $13 billion settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also is receiving about $20 billion from a separate national mortgage settlement in 2012. That deal was with the nation's largest banks, including JPMorgan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has had nearly 1 million foreclosed homes — more than any other state — since the housing meltdown began in early 2007, according to DataQuick, a San Diego-based research firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also leads the nation in the number of short sales, during which a home is sold for less than what was owed on the mortgage. DataQuick estimates there were 460,000 short sales between 2007 and September of this year, out of 706,000 nationally in the regions it tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in Sacramento said the activity described in Tuesday's settlement with JPMorgan was \"symptomatic of the recklessness on Wall Street.'' His region includes the Central Valley, which he describes as being \"ravaged'' by the mortgage crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The stakes were very high, and I think there was pressure on the due-diligence people to get the deal done,'' he said during a news conference about the issues underlying the civil settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2008, his office has charged about 350 people in connection with mortgage fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n\n",

Under the larger settlement, which also was announced Tuesday, JPMorgan will provide $4 billion in mortgage relief to the states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said her office's investigation found that documents provided by the company did not accurately disclose the nature of the underlying mortgages and that the company did not properly eliminate risky loans from the securities it was offering the pension funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement will reimburse the funds for the losses they took for investing in mortgage-backed securities offered by JPMorgan, Washington Mutual Bank and Bear Stearns. JPMorgan acquired the other two companies in 2008 and has said most of its mortgage-backed securities came from them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $4 billion in consumer mortgage relief that is included in the larger national settlement goes to those who were harmed by the same three firms. That money will go toward loan modifications, forgiving the principal on mortgages and efforts to improve blighted neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris' office could not predict how much of the $4 billion will come to California but said the distribution will be overseen by an independent monitor to make sure the company meets its obligations under the settlement. It was not clear how the $300 million is being carved from the $13 billion settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also is receiving about $20 billion from a separate national mortgage settlement in 2012. That deal was with the nation's largest banks, including JPMorgan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has had nearly 1 million foreclosed homes — more than any other state — since the housing meltdown began in early 2007, according to DataQuick, a San Diego-based research firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also leads the nation in the number of short sales, during which a home is sold for less than what was owed on the mortgage. DataQuick estimates there were 460,000 short sales between 2007 and September of this year, out of 706,000 nationally in the regions it tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in Sacramento said the activity described in Tuesday's settlement with JPMorgan was \"symptomatic of the recklessness on Wall Street.'' His region includes the Central Valley, which he describes as being \"ravaged'' by the mortgage crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The stakes were very high, and I think there was pressure on the due-diligence people to get the deal done,'' he said during a news conference about the issues underlying the civil settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2008, his office has charged about 350 people in connection with mortgage fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
