I KNOW THIS FAMILY THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THEIVES AND LIARS..REAL POND SCUM...I HOPE THEY GET THE MAX

I am a dear friend of the family and I find it absolutely appalling that you "doctor Andy" would post something so disgraceful. You have no business attacking this family and making accusations regarding something you obviously have no clue about. And as far as peoples character, you have showed your true chracter with that post considering you didn't even have the guts to use your real name... COWARD !

seems like the family has been indicted in steeling millions how upstanding can they be

Another ignorant post .... The family was indicted ALLEGEDLY on certain charges. This is America and you are INNOCENT until proven GUILTY! So get a life Ed and tend to your own family, instead of making false accusations and assumptions regarding someone elses family.

Michelle, they weren't "allegedly" indicted, they have in fact been indicted. But you are right that they have yet to be convicted of anything. Given that this article provides no details of the charges, and the previous one gave only the vaguest outline of the supposed fraud, I don't see how anyone here can be so sure that the Colatrellas are either guilty or innocent. That's what juries are for.

You are in fact correct "J" ... I am aware that they were indicted... When I said allegedly I was referring to the charges and what ignorant and cowardly people are accusing them of. I don't agree with anyone,regardless of the situation, making comments about a situation that they know absolutely NOTHING about.

Why would you know so much about the situation Michelle? Unless you were intimately involved, or the persons involved told you the whole story, just because you "know" the family doesn't mean you "know" the situation. This was a year-long investigation, and the fact that they were indicted means that a grand jury found that there was enough evidence to put them on trial. So, I think you might want to take some of your own advice and not make comments or criticize those who do, when you know as much as they do. People don't mistakenly get indicted for $2 million in mortgage fraud. It doesn't make them "pond scum" but they're certainly not very upstanding citizens now are they?

This will be my last comment ... People do in fact get indicted on false charges. There are people that go to jail for murder, only to find out years later that they were innocent the entire time. Just because someone is indicted does not mean that they in fact did anything wrong or committed the crime. OJ Simpson was proven innocent hahaha the judicial system is always so dead on!!!?!?.. Get a life people and mind your business.

Under law you can pick your own title company. And, most of all, for your own sake, don't fudge income figures under any circumstance. It's sad to see such deception slip through the fingers of banks.

if these people are found guilty, what would they face? A year maybe in jail? Oh sure they should face much more but in reality they will get a slap on the wrist and not a penny restitution will be taken from them. i'm not saying they are guilty but that the penalties we have in place for the biggest and most lucrative robberies going on in today's society are a bad joke. Who here wouldn't do 2 maybe 3 years in minimum security for say 2 million or more? All those goldmen that sacked us should be given life sentences because that's exactly what they took from so many. Their entire life savings on some scam we all ended up paying for and are still paying for. When will the american people hold these crooks truly accountable for the massive damage and chaos they have created? We bail them out as they sell us all out. nice America. I'm so proud to be an American. Aren't you all?

michelle, the only intellegent thing you posted is this is your last comment, I take care of my own always will,wtf are you reffering to................

oh my goodness, imagine that. A developer and people with connections to a Mortgage Company indicted for fraud. That's never happened before has it? The trial if it goes that far will determine what happened. I am just amazed that anything like this would happen. I know all the people who are involved in REal Estate and Finances are beyond reproach.

michelle - it should be your last post - how could you defend people that ripped off others to get ahead! While so many of us put in a hard days work to make ends meet, this family robs, steals and lies - how awful and how awful of you michelle to defend them - I am sure if you were on the losing stick you wouldn't feel the same about them!!

What's awful is that you losers like to be BIG and BAD and talk sh*t behind your computer screens and in the comforts of your own homes and offices... You're ALL pathetic !!!

It seems as though there was a very thorough investigation on this family before the indictments came down. There are an awful lot of charges listed for this not to be true. We aren't pathetic, Maya Grace. It is pathetic to defend such thieves. We are sick and tired of crooks like this preying upon the innocent. These days, people don't get away with much!

Keep deflecting off of your self Mike .. You seem to be the biggest loser of the bunch ... I'm sure you're hiding behind a fake name like the rest of them ... I,unlike you, worked all day and wasn't try to fight with people all day on my computer. I'll say it again...PATHETIC !

I'm a big freaking loser who thinks I'm cool and likes to bash other people on a computer. I appoligize for being such am incredibly big d-bag but I have nothing better to do with my time. I have no girlfriend or friends at all for that matter. I sit at home all day and watch porn and fight with people on the patch. Only god can judge me !!

Must be a friend of these crooks.

They got indicted because they're too stupid to think there's no paper trail in a crime that involves nothing but filling out papers. They'll get some jail time, pay the restitution for 20 yrs and have to re file tax returns for the yrs they committed the crimes and then the IRS will get them

"Sounds like a disorganized crime family."

I say we just skip the trial and go straight for the hanging.

It's time to bring back public lynchings at the county courthouse,make it a once a month happening. We can have a beer truck,hot pretzels,cotton candy and a Saturday hanging, what a way to spend the day.

I happen to know this family personally and they would never hurt another person for profit. On the contrary, they would take the shirt off their back for someone in need.

It's so nice to see these SWINDLERS have friends. Or are they cohorts???

HANG THESE CROOKS

From the article:

Christopher Colatrella, John Colatrella and Alexis Colatrella were released from the Ocean County Jail, Toms River,on $500,000 bail, no 10 percent, each, on Aug. 23 and all were required to surrender their passports. D'Amato was released on $100,000 bail, no 10 percent, on Aug. 23 and required to surrender his passport.

WOW!!! $500,000 bail, and no 10 percent. Does that mean they each had to put up $500,00 in cash?

Isn't there something productive all of you have to do besides create drama? Too much TV watching?

same name 51 years, never hid behind anything....................................

Nice people who cheat and steal? I don't care how nice they are if their morals are in the toilet. I sat on a grand jury for a year in Trenton and the prosecutors present hard, tangible and diligent evidence before an indictment is handed down. I am not one who finds everyone accused to be guilty before a trial by their peers but an indictment for financial fraud is usually very thoroughly damning. I believe that they'll have their weeks in court and can prove how innocent they are but the trials of this sort are usually iron-clad evidence with no true defense.

I have known this family for a very long time. They have always been complete scum. Always will be. They just cannot help themselves. They do not care who they hurt or what they do, they care about themselves and only themselves. These half ass want to be wise guys think that they can go through life and do whatever they want. They derserve a long time behind bars. They derserve for the IRS to be all over them and find out what is really going on. I've never met a good Colatrella and I never will.

John has priors so I am sure he will get some time. Chris graduated Law School so he may have a trick or two up his sleeve. I am appalled that John got his daughter and 79 year old mother in law involved in such a scam. That's just so selfish. I don't know how some of these idiots could defend them just because they were never on the losing side of the table when it came to dealing with this family. WAKE UP YOU'RE LIVING IN A BUBBLE. Indictments aren't just handed down because someone has a small amount of credible evidence. It's because the state feels they have enough evidence to go to trial and win the case. These people have stolen from all of us tax payers because it is our dollars that will be used to find them guilty and our dollars that will facilitate and feed them for a couple years in prison. I am a Colonia resident and have known this family for a long time and this whole debacle doesn't surprise me at all. The reason people are using screen names and fake names to hide their identity on this patch is most likely because they know members of this family and know they would take revenge. They'll have their day in court.
