A federal grand jury has indicted Vision Beyond co-owners Stanislav Grinberg and Peter Gizunterman, as well as two other co-conspirators, on fraud charges.Officials say Grinberg and Gizunterman, two Israeli real estate entrepre neurs, created Vision Beyond in 2019 to purchase 100 properties many of which were in the Cincinnati area. The two, with the help of title company employees Keya Hamilton and Kelly West, are accused of double-pledging the properties to obtain multiple loans.They're also accused of falsifying financial documents, altering closing documents and removing mortgages from title commitments to conceal information from investors.The WCPO 9 I-Team has continued to follow the fraud allegations that led to Vision Beyond's collapse and the subsequent fight over the fate of their more than 70 properties.We spoke with attorney Greg Berberich, who met the founders of Vision Beyond in 2020 when the two were trying to buy a $2 million apartment building from one of his clients."Theyre wearing $300 Nikes and driving $80,000 cars," Berberich said. "I thought, 'Who the heck are they?' As soon as I saw their paperwork, I thought, 'These guys are amateurs.'"But just two years later, they were able to convince Wall Street bankers to loan them more than $36 million for approximately 60 multi-family properties they did not own. The loans were supposed to pay off 30 specific prior mortgages.Watch our full I-Team investigation here: How did investors get away with one of the biggest frauds in county history?According to officials, 20 of the prior mortgages that were worth $17.2 million were not paid off at closing. Instead, officials said more than $273,000 was paid directly to Hamilton, nearly $7 million was paid to a title company controlled by Hamilton and used by Vision and Beyond, around $6.2 million was paid directly to Vision Beyond's account and approximately $2.7 million was paid to another bank."People have described this as a sophisticated fraud," Berberich said. "Its really not, its just big. There are a lot of people and properties involved. But, if you can get a notary thats willing to violate their oath and sign a fraudulent deed, you can sign (over) a property tomorrow."Officials said Hamilton and West, who helped Vision Beyond, are accused of participating in a similar scheme in 2023 involving apartment complexes in Lexington, getting loans totaling $24.6 million.All four are charged with conspiring to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, making false statements and money laundering. ...read more read less
