MEMORANDUM

DAVID W. WILLIAMS, District Judge.

Defendants, Charles Berg and William Edward Barker, were partners in an Orange County firm called Enterprise Investments and they advertised themselves as “foreclosure specialists.” In this two-count indictment they were charged with Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371) and a violation of 12 U.S.C. § 1709-2, the so-called “equity skimming” statute.
