This episode is a unique
conversation that I get to have with former mortgage fraudster &
current true crime writer, Matthew Cox. We discuss how he went from
mortgage broker-owner to being convicted to almost a quarter of a
century in prison! He shares details on how he was able perpetrate
one of the largest mortgage frauds in history; his perspectives on
life before, during and after prison; and what we should be
prioritizing in our lives and businesses.
Matthew Cox is a former mortgage broker & convicted fraudster. He
falsified documents to make it appear that he owned properties, and
then fraudulently obtained several mortgages on them for 5-6 times
their actual worth. He acquired millions of dollars during his
crime spree across the southern and southwestern US, eventually
landing him on the United States Secret Service's Most Wanted
list.
Matthew was arrested on November 16, 2006, indicted on 42 counts of
fraud, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. His sentence
was later reduced to 15 years, and has was released in
July 2019 after 12.5 years. His story has been featured
on Dateline NBC, CNBC’s American Greed, as well as
in Fortune magazine, Bloomberg, Businessweek, Playboy magazine,
and many other media outlets.
Matthew is currently a painter and true crime writer, and he wrote
a personal memoir titled "Shark in the Housing
