The death of Queens judicial activist Sunny Sheu is the subject of a chilling investigation in the New York investigative newspaper Black Star News.

Here's a quick recap.

On a calm spring afternoon eleven years ago, Sunny Sheu's lunch was interrupted by a knock on his front door. It was Tower Insurance agent, there to inspect the home for its new owners.

Surprised, Sheu explained his home hadn't been for sale, but Tower's paperwork was official. "I almost choked on my soup," he told Black Star News in 2009 (via Zero Hedge).

The Queens resident had been victim of a complex scam that started with a forged power of attorney and led to a mortgage with Centex Home Equity. The story ended with his death from blunt force trauma to the head almost one year ago today.

Sheu refinanced his house in his brother's name in 2000. Sheu's mortgage broker, Roman Chiu then forged Shue's brother's signature on a power of attorney and received a mortgage from Centex for Sheu's home.

After alerting the police, the bank that held the mortgage, and the title insurer, Sheu gathered together the forged paperwork, and the parties responsible were arrested and sent to jail.

Sheu assumed that would be the end of it, but Centex--the issuer of the bogus mortgage--ignored the police reports as well as the evidence and foreclosed on the house.

The foreclosure sale occurred January 28, 2005.

“Centex bought the property for $1,000 from Amy Cheng, the fraudster,â€

In Queens County, New York, The Black Star News reports (see below - Editor) on the story of Sun-Ming Sheu, a local resident and immigrant from Taiwan who had his home ripped off from out from under by scammers in 2001 in a straw buyer scam which utilized a forged power of attorney to complete a fraudulent trandfer of the title to the house. The scammers then obtained a mortgage against the home, failed to make the mortage payments, and Sheu has been fighting off a foreclosure ever since.

To add insult to injury, the scammers were actually busted by the New York City police, and they ultimately copped pleas to forgery. However, the mortgage lender that was duped into financing the fraudulent sale and the title insurer that issued the lender's title insurance policy have ignored the successful criminal prosecution and all the evidence produced demonstrating that the signatures on the documents in the fraudulent sale were forged, and have continued to move forward on the foreclosure of Sheu's home, acting as if the fraudulent closing was authentic. A reportedly accomodating judge, Queens Supreme Court Justice Joseph Golia, has allowed the foreclosure to proceed.

Most recently, Sheu reportedly met twice with a criminal investigator at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan in June, 2009 for a total of about four hours and discussed his case and submitted documentation. “We cannot confirm or deny that we are investigating this case,â€
