Indianapolis, IN-(ENEWSPF)- Acting United States Attorney John E. Childress announced Thursday that Daniel R. Fruits, 46, of Greenwood, Indiana, was charged by a federal grand jury for his alleged role in three separate fraud schemes, including a nearly $14 million fraud on an investor, an attempted mortgage fraud, and a vehicle title-washing scheme.
“This financial investor gave his hard-earned money to someone whom he thought he could trust,” said Childress. “Instead, the victim’s money ended up in the hands of a self-absorbed thief who only cared about his interests. Living a life of fraud is inexcusable and always comes to an end.”

The indictment was unsealed Dec. 11, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced the charges Thursday.
