According to authorities, the mother-daughter team ran Desert Air Real Estate Investments Inc., which offered "rent-to-own" agreements, purportedly taking titles on distressed properties and accepting rent that would go toward paying the mortgage. However, from at least August 2007 through June 2009, the Kantins are alleged to have kept the rent monies and allowed the mortgages to be foreclosed upon. They have each pleaded not guilty to the charges which include 44 counts of conspiracy, embezzlement, theft, notary fraud and forgery.Wednesday, May 19, 2010
