Nah! Ex-Property Wars Star Scott Menaged Arrested After Fraud Investigation
It is was reported that Scott Menaged,
who starred on Discovery Channel's former show Property Wars, has been arrested
for wire fraud and other charges following a Department of Homeland Security
investigation.
According to court documents obtained
by the Media, Scott, two other men and a woman were indicted on a wide variety
of counts including conspiracy to defraud, wire fraud and aggravated identity
theft.
In the indictment, officials allege
that the plaintiffs "did knowingly and intentionally devise a scheme and
artifice to defraud, and to obtain money by means of false and fraudulent
pretenses, representations, and promises, namely by electronically submitting
false and fraudulent credit applications to Synchrony Financial in the names of
individuals whose identities had been stolen."
The reality star, whose real first name
is Yomtov, has not commented.
Property Wars followed a group of men
who bid to purchase foreclosed homes, without being able to look inside. After
two seasons, the reality show would air its final episode in August of 2013.
Scott served as one of the New York
real-estate buyers on the show.
Since the show concluded, Scott has
not been active on social media. In fact, his last post on Twitter was from
November 2013. His last tweet, however, was a message from a fan hoping his show
could land on a different network.
"Thanks for watching the season
finale of #PropertyWars. We had a great season!" Scott wrote to his
followers. "We could not have done it without our fans!
@LouPropertyWars."
