Last summer, I wondered whether the DA’s office was going to go after Al Hill III for the shenanigans he pulled with his house. I’d been told at the time that folks from the DA’s office had interviewed family members about the matter. Well, now I need wonder no more. The couple was indicted (sub. req.) on multiple felony counts of mortgage fraud. Honestly, that’s the least of his troubles. A good lawyer and a lot of money could make this whole thing go away. But for whatever reason, III is appealing the settlement he reached with his father, Al Hill Jr., over what portion of the family trust was owed to him. Oh, and he doesn’t have a lawyer. All signs point to broke.
