Appraiser gets $350 to $450 per report, his clients get $3M: yet all 3 indicted

Here’s another typical story, this time on Long Island…Appraiser does report, client steals $3.1M

Yet another…Appraiser does report, client steals $800K

Over and over we see appraisers being indicted and their appraisal fees are nominal, yet they are indicated alongside those who stole millions from lending institutions.
