Hector Hernandez, a Miami-area real estate developer and owner of the mortgage company Great Country Mortgage Bankers, pleaded guilty to a mortgage fraud scheme involving federally insured mortgages that caused losses of $64 million to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Specifically, while most of Great Country’s potential borrowers did not qualify for the FHA-insured loans, Hector Hernandez and his business partner, Aleida Fontao, directed Great Country employees to falsify important documents in the potential borrowers’ loan applications to make them appear qualified.
