A Cedar Hills man who served time in federal prison for his conviction in a real estate investment fraud scheme, is facing new criminal charges accusing him of running a construction company that collected money up front but never completed the work.

In his new business venture, investigators say Brody set up a bank account with the contractor as a signor to issue checks from, and brought in a third party as another signor, allegedly to prevent fraud.Prosecutors say Brody's company signed clients for home improvement projects and demanded a 60% down payment up front.

In February 2021, Cornerstone took $12,000 from a man wanting his basement remodeled in order to hold a spot in the company's "busy work schedule." The work was never completed. Also in August 2021, a man made a $50,000 deposit for a home improvement project. The work was never completed and Brody falsely told the man that his contractor was actually the owner of Cornerstone.
