first-time home buyers.
He said claimants include those who could possibly be illegal immigrants and that 580 people seeking $4 million from the first-time homebuyer credit were under the age of 18. The youngest taxpayers receiving the credit were 4 years old, his office said.
Now the question is will all these examples of fraud be prosecuted or will the government simply look the other way, again?
