Samantha L. Mueting's indictment for defrauding investors of more than $2.2 million didn’t stop her from continuing the scheme while free on bail.
iCore Global, a purported commercial real estate firm, had boasted on its website that it handled more than $47 billion in transactions annually from 156 offices around the world — including San Antonio, Luxembourg and Casablanca. In reality, its corporate address was a mailbox at a UPS store in Helotes. Its founder and CEO has pleaded guilty to wire fraud.In the case of Samantha L.
As part of her plea deal, federal prosecutors have agreed to dismiss the other pending charges and not bring additional charges. In reality, iCore Global’s corporate address was a UPS store mailbox in Helotes, where Mueting has resided, according to the indictment. It claimed to employ as many as 5,500 agents and staff, but never had more than six employees.
One of Mueting’s lawyers didn’t respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew W. Kinskey declined to comment. Two other iCore officials were indicted with Mueting. Chief Financial Officer Josephus De Laat, 61, of Spicewood, and operations manager Vodrick L. Perry, 52, of San Antonio, were each charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Perry was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. He has pleaded not guilty.
