Hello

Interesting story. What got my attention was the
location of the Safe Deposit Box here in Phoenix
Arizona. I would guess more will come out on
"Mark A. Seagrave".

Fugitive's Safe Deposit Box Yields $400K in Gold

Posted By: George Warren 1 hr ago

SACRAMENTO, CA - The mortgage fraud fugitive
caught returning to the United States on Tuesday was
carrying two safe deposit keys that led to more
than $400,000 worth of gold coins.

Christopher Warren, 26, was caught at the Peace
Bridge border crossing in Buffalo after arriving in
a taxicab from Toronto. U.S. authorities found
$70,000 in cash stuffed into a shoe, several ounces
of platinum and the keys.

According to acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence Brown,
Warren admitted the keys would unlock a safe
deposit box at at U.S. Bank branch on First Ave.
in Phoenix.

Armed with a search warrant, federal agents opened
the box Friday and discovered 276 gold coins worth
an estimated $413,000. They also found $7,500 in cash.

Brown said the safe deposit box was rented under
in the name of Mark A. Seagrave, the same name on
the passport that Warren used to try to re-enter
the country.

During his week-long globetrotting adventure,
federal authorities believe Warren stashed some of
the proceeds from his illegal activity-- including
as much as $5 million in gold.

In a prepared statement, Brown said the search
for the hidden assets continues.

"We are firmly committed to tracking down the
proceeds of Warren's brazen fraud," he said."

Before he fled last week, Warren had been
cooperating with authorities investigating the
activities of Loomis Wealth Solutions and its
founder, Lawrence "Lee" Loomis.

Loomis' company is accused of running a
multi-million dollar real estate Ponzi scheme
involving hundreds of victims. Loomis has not
been charged.
