Fraud Contributed to Midtown Village Failure


A lawsuit filed against Midtown Village in Orem, claims money intended for the construction of Midtown Village was improperly given to the wrong people.
The lawsuit was filed by Blackstone Financial Group Business Trust, which in April purchased an interest in a Midtown Village construction loan that originally belonged to BankFirst. Improper handouts resulted in serious cash shortages for the project.
"Midtown ran out of money before Midtown Village could be completed and certain subcontractors were not paid," the lawsuit states.


A further complication to already complicated circumstances is the economy and the collapse of several financial institutions involved in Midtown Village.
