A former Ameriquest Mortgage employee has pleaded guilty to stealing the personal identification information of nearly 100 victims and using that information to obtain money and other items. In his plea agreement, Jason Alan Tauer of Robbinsdale, Minn., admitted stealing the files of 93 people who had made mortgage applications to Ameriquest Mortgage where he worked as a mortgage assistant from March 15 through April 29, 2005. Tauer was indicted late last year and charged with two counts of bank fraud, one count of access device fraud and three counts of aggravated identity theft. The now-defunct Ameriquest was based in Orange, Calif.
