21 months after the Barrera Mortgage fraud arrests, where's everyone at?

Like the title says, 21 months after the intitial arrests were made in the Barrera mortgage fraud case, where's everyone at?  Let's take a look:

1- John Romney, the architect of the Barrera mortgage fraud.  Mr. Romney the seller of the home located at Oak avenue that purchased said home only days before the closing that occurred involving the "straw buyer" and the Identity Theft. Based on the arrest affidavit he netted $234,896.88. Not bad for a days work!  After his plea was delayed at least 6 or more times (we lost count) it looks like he's set to enter a plea this Friday.  From what we understand the sweetheart deal that Prosecutor Kostrzewski gave him is off the table and the new prosecutor is going to throw the book at him.  Considering this recent photo of Mr. Romney, he certainly hasn't aged well these last two years...

2- Michael Martinez -this is the guy who lent the "straw buyer" $125,000 as the earnest money for the closing and was then repaid the $125,000 and $10,000 more after the closing for the Barrera fraud.  We know that Mr. Martinez plead out back in June 2009 and is now nearly done with his probation sentence.  Problem is that the testimony he gave to Prosecutor Kostrzewski was bullshit, we'll deal with this later.  Take a look at this photo of Mr. Martinez, does he look like he's worried?


3- Delaila Estefano, the attorney that prosecutor Kostrzewski accused of orchastrating the Barrera fraud, the prosecutors that replaced Kostrzewski dropped the charges against her.

4- Bernardo Barrera, the man who claimed his identity and credit was stolen for the mortgage fraud that's at the center of our blog.  Looks like Mr. Barrera split to Panama shortly after he was deposed for this case and hasn't come back.  WHOOPS!

5- Detective Jorge Baluja, from what we hear the good detective has more than his share of issues these days (unrelated to this case), wait till we get started!

6- Prosecutor Bill Kostrzewski, like his puppet Jorge looks like he's got his share of issues resulting from his behavior in this case and like Jorge, we haven't even gotten started yet!


Looks like we're gonna have to wait till Friday to find out what's happening with Mr. Romney.  There's also lots of rumors circulating regarding the girl that Mr. Martinez is pictured with above, we'll have to do a little digging and see what we can find...
