CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A Charleston man has admitted his role in a time-share property fraud scheme.
Thirty-five-year-old David Brandon Ball pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Charleston.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin says Ball admitted that he and associate David Andrew Glynn set up a company used to defraud time-share owners of money. Time-share owners were told the company had buyers for their properties and were asked to send fees and expenses necessary to complete the sales.
Goodwin says Ball and his associates also posed as agents of a fictitious entity investigating time-share fraud schemes and asked victims of prior schemes to send money to assist with recovery efforts.
Ball faces sentencing July 8.
Glynn was sentenced in November to 2 1/2 years and ordered to pay more than $97,000 in restitution.
