trespassing on a private island, is this a serious crime, what are the consequences?

Posted on February 11, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

In my town there is a medium size lake with an island in the middle, the island is for sale and on it is about 4 small cabins. It has been unused for about 2-3 years now. Me and my friends were planning on canoeing over to the island at night and camping out on it for a few days. What we wanted to know is if this is a serious crime to trespass a private island, and if we attempted to break into one of the cabins and SOMEHOW got caught, what would the consequences be? Would it be breaking and entering? There is a very low change that we will be caught, but we all want to be aware of the legal consequences just in case. Also has anyone attempted anything like this, if so do you have any tips or advise?

Are there legal consequences for placing bogus contracts into escrow in order to fool the construction bank?

I know a builder who was in default on his construction loan on a small neighborhood project, (45 homes). The lender has give him every opportunity but he keeps screwing up the sales office and team. Now, under the gun, he got some old friends to put 3 of them under contract for 90 day escrows, hoping that by the time the 90 days are up, he will have 3 legitimate escrows and his friends can cancel their contracts, thereby fulfilling his requirement to get 3 in to escrow immediately. Is this not an attempt to defraud the bank? What are the changes that the bank knows these are bogus contracts and they want to keep their fat out of the fire with their investors? What is the ethical thing to do? There is nothing in it for me either way. I do, though, find him arrogent.
