DocX president sentenced in Michigan
The former president of Alpharetta mortgage processor DocX was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison in Michigan, that state’s attorney general said.
In February, Lorraine Brown, 51, pleaded guilty to racketeering for her role in authorizing the fraudulent signing of Michigan mortgage documents. She was sentenced Thursday to serve between 40 months and 20 years, and has begun serving her sentence in Michigan.
Brown pleaded guilty last year to charges in Florida and Missouri related to “robo-signing,” a process in which employees fraudulently signed another authorized person’s name — frequently Linda Green — on mortgage documents to speed up their filing.
