Hull

A Hull man appears in Federal court on bank fraud charges. The Patriot Ledger reports that 40 year old Jamie Edelkind allegedly used his wife's name and falsified financial information to obtain three loans of more than two million dollars between August of 2000 and March of last year. Edelkind reportedly used the money to buy and renovate a 15 room Tudor mansion on Nantasket Avenue which was once the summer home of Boston Mayor John Honey Fitz Fitzgerald. Edelkind faces up to 30 years in prison and a one million dollar fine on each of the three bank fraud counts.
