2 O.C. Residents Are Indicted in Fraud Case
The FBI arrested two Orange County residents on suspicion of defrauding at least 10 borrowers of $7.2 million.
Dane Andre Moore, 44, of Seal Beach and Mary Lew Chrisinger, 50, of Santa Ana were indicted on 10 counts of wire fraud, Assistant U.S. Atty. Kenneth B. Julian said. Moore also was charged with four money-laundering counts.
The indictment said Moore’s Growth 1 Funding Corp. required borrowers to advance large deposits as “collateral” -- funds the defendants allegedly spent. Moore’s attorney, Tom Bienert of San Clemente, and Chrisinger’s lawyer, Randy Driggs of Anaheim Hills, couldn’t be reached for comment.
