A sprawling conspiracy to strip a grieving Harlem family of their brownstone has netted charges against 18 individuals and three companies, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Thursday — a case prosecutors say unraveled only after years of persistent investigative work into one of the borough’s most brazen property fraud schemes. The defendants allegedly forged documents, impersonated heirs, and engineered a fraudulent sale of a West 131st Street brownstone to pocket $1. 636 million in mortgage and construction loan proceeds.
