Comments about ‘Fifth defendant pleads guilty in Provo mortgage scam’

They should be treated like the "bank robbers" they are. Twenty years in prison with no possibility of parole.

they all go to church on Sunday's so what does it matter?

I guess the wolves do in fact hide amongst the sheep.

Greed.

Wow.

Isn't selling all of the million dollar homes enough?

Wow.

How can you profess to be religious - any religion, and then do that to your fellow man???

Pretty pathetic.

Greed may have gotten to these guys and I'm sure that they are very remorsefull. But everyone making these kinds of comments is sinning by being judgemental. I'm not sure that one sin is worse than the other!

Doesn't EVERY religion teach repentance and FORGIVENESS?! Sometimes you find it and sometimes it finds you. REGARDLESS, we ALL need it!
We all have skeletons in our closet, the problem is that everyone is trying to find out what's in their neighbors instead of dealing with their own! We need to STOP looking in THEIR windows and START looking in the MIRROR!

I believe in forgiveness and not judging. I also believe in being held accountable for our poor choices. Can anyone tell me why Ron Clarke still has a license to practice real estate in the State of Utah?

Clarke's beliefs don't match his actions. He was wrong at the time he did it and he knew it. He did it for money, PERIOD. Is he kind of guilty because he did it one time? Like any person can be kind of pregnant I guess. His very actions and relationship to the LDS church bring discredit to himself and to the LDS church. You should distance yourself from him unless you want to get burned. He screwed up now his family, friends, and anyone who knows him will pay the price of that relationship. If he were honest, no one would be writing here.
