Tiffany Travis, 28, pleaded guilty Wednesday to bank fraud.
According to US Attorney Bill Nettles, Travis was working at Oceanfront Real Estate in North Myrtle Beach when she committed the crime. Nettles says Travis, Darin Epps, a mortgage broker for Dunes Mortgage, and other co-conspirators caused false loan applications for three condominium units to be submitted in Travis' name on July 9, 2007, for $619,500 and $100,000; to Country Wide Bank on July 26, 2007, for $650,000 and $100,000; and to National City Bank on July 31, 2007, for $132,700.
Darin Epps pleaded guilty to these charges in April 2010.
Travis will be sentenced at a later time. Nettles says the maximum penalty Travis can receive is a fine of $1,000,000 and/or imprisonment for 30 years, plus a special assessment of $100.
