The Anti-Flipping Task Force (AFTF) released their second year report today:

“In its second year, the AFTF has experienced significant successes, including participation in the first major area civil prosecution involving a fraudulent flipping scheme, changing the way property is purchased at the City auction. The Mayor’s Anti-Flipping Task Force worked hard this year to educate and inform the public ensure that fraudulent flippers stayed away from the In-Rem auction, ,” said Mayor Brown. “We have seen the devastation of flipping, especially in Buffalo’s poorer neighborhoods. Through the collaboration of the groups that make up the Mayor’s Anti-Flipping Task Force, I am confident that we are on the right track to not only prevent fraudulent flippers from coming into the City, but to eliminate the practice completely.”
