Tennessee swindlers forged docs to steal homes for $10 before selling for massive profit
Briefly

In a fraudulent scheme in Tennessee, Stuart Breakstone and Rebecca Tuttle allegedly forged signatures to transfer properties to themselves for merely $10, impacting at least two homes between 2010 and 2025. Although deed transfers typically acknowledge nominal payments while the actual sale price is negotiated, these swindlers kept the $10 notation in their forged documents. The two properties involved are near each other in Memphis. Breakstone even resold one of the homes after acquiring it through this deceptive method, highlighting the difficulty in the detection of such scams.
"The initial framework acknowledges the placeholder $10 but will later mention the actual sale price for the property. In the stolen homes case, they kept the small payment price."
"Breakstone and Tuttle are accused of faking signatures of homeowners, buyers, and a notary on quit-claim forms to transfer ownership for just $10."
