Montecastro Mortgage Fraud Case Delayed
The $142 million mortgage fraud and securities fraud trial for Hendrix Montecastro and his mother Helen Pedrino have been moved to October 9.
Hendrix Montecastro and Helen Pedrino were arrested in 2009 on charges they were part of a real estate investment fraud conspiracy headed by James Duncan.

James Duncan and defendants Maurice McLeod, Charlie Sung Choi, Thuan Nhan Du and Cindi Gayle Kelly have already pleaded guilty.
