KALISPELL, Mont. – Just days after a local mortgage broker denied federal charges of bank and wire fraud connected with a Whitefish CU loan, prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges.
Deanna McAtee was indicted in a complicated case involving money she borrowed from the credit union and then loaned to another couple, on whom she later foreclosed.
Prosecutors alleged she later restructured the loan, leaving the credit union’s collateral unsecured. She was charged with bank fraud in a loan that she brokered.
McAtee denied the charges on Sept. 14.
