Court documents obtained and published by RadarOnline.com reveal Joe Giudice admitted to forging a mortgage in 2007 which could have led federal investigators to watch his business dealings closely over the past six years.
In 2007, Joe's former business partner, Joe Mastropole gave him a $586,000 loan, and Joe reportedly paid back $300,000. However, instead of paying the rest of the loan, he forged a June 2007 document with Mastropole's fake signature stating that the mortgage was discharged, or fully paid. Joe reportedly then took out another loan and kept $1 million for himself.
