The rest never got their documents because they were told the documents would all be posted online on the company's website.It never happened.In Indianapolis, Ms Tan's company popped up in county land sales records of 2013 as the buyer of at least 18 low-priced homes in Center Township.These purchases stood out, because at least eight were sold by non-profit group New Day Residential.In May 2013, the president of New Day Residential was among five people charged in a kickback and bribery scandal involving vacant homes sold by the city-run Indy Land Bank.FRAUDOne John Hawkins pleaded guilty to wire fraud in an alleged scheme to reap kickbacks from the sale of abandoned properties last June.On Sept 2013, The Indianapolis Star reported that CTL Global Holdings had already resold some of its Indianapolis properties "at prices sharply higher than it paid for them to buyers with Asian names".For instance, records in 2013 showed two side-by-side houses bought by CTL were sold by the Land Bank to New Day for US$2,500 (S$3,390) in March.They were resold that same month to CTL for US$10,000 and in April, CTL "flipped" the houses for US$38,334 each to the current owners.Both homes remain unrenovated.How their troubles started"The first sign of trouble was six months after, when the property management company engaged by CTL started communicating directly with us, the investors," said Mr Kenneth Ng.The property management company in question is in the US.Mr Ng's troubles were echoed by many other investors and The New Paper on Sunday met with seven of them on Jan 24.A 60-year-old investor told TNPS on Friday that he bought two properties in Indianapolis and paid in full, spending about $100,000 in all."
