At the
center of a major scheme to defraud Home Owner Associations (HOA) in
construction defect cases were two Quon Bruce Christensen Law Firm employees,
Nancy Quon and Jason Bruce.
The duo’s
fraudulent actions consisted of fixing elections for the HOA board by having
established board members removed from their positions and replaced by straw
men that were required to abuse their power and select Quon Bruce Christensen
as the law firm to represent the HOA on cases.
Bruce and
Quon were not alone in their actions as the scandal involved numerous other
accomplices that included lawyers, real estate agents, notaries and other
individuals, all of which were recruited by Bruce.
After an
FBI investigation unveiled this information and a raid by the FBI, the case of
fraud was given to three federal grand juries. Through the use of trial papers
and secret recordings, the investigation unveiled that voters were bribed and
aided in tens of millions of dollars of legal work having been illegally
directed to Quon Bruce Christensen.
It seemed
that Quon and Bruce were fully aware of their wrongdoings as Quon was found
dead due to what is believed to have been suicide and Bruce fled from the
office’s location in Las Vegas to central Florida.
A total of
42 defendants either plead guilty or were convicted at trial in what is
believed to be the largest public corruption case in southern Nevada’s history.
