From the Tri City Herald:
A real estate developer is accused of bilking at least eight Tri-City residents, along with people in Western Washington and Arizona, out of more than $500,000 during fraudulent property dealings.
Armen Lucius B. Weishaar of Richland is charged in Benton County Superior Court with six counts of first-degree theft, though prosecutors said Thursday that he could face federal charges after this case is resolved.
Weishaar took large sums of money from the people, promising to invest it in real estate, but never completed the transactions or returned the cash, said Deputy Prosecutor Scott Johnson. Weishaar reportedly received more than $380,000 total from Tri-Citians in the "pretty sophisticated" fraud, Johnson said.
