ORLANDO, Fla. — Federal prosecutors investigating the crimes of former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg have charged two of Greenberg’s associates and accused them of a multimillion-dollar real-estate fraud scheme, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.
Authorities say Keith Ingersoll and James Adamczyk, working with other unnamed co-conspirators, bilked an Orlando-area investor out of over $12 million by persuading the investor to put up money for more than half a dozen fraudulent real-estate deals in Florida, other states and The Bahamas.
Ingersoll and Adamcyzk claimed to the investor they needed money to cover deposits on contracts they signed to purchase various properties they planned to immediately flip to other buyers — at least some of whom were fabricated, according to the indictment.
