Matthew Cox
Matthew Bevan Cox (born July 2, 1969), commonly known as Matthew Cox, also sometimes known as Matthew B. Cox and Matt Cox, is an American felon and con man who has been convicted of conspiracy and grand theft. Cox, also an aspiring author, wrote an unpublished manuscript entitled ''The Associates'' in which the main character traveled the country committing mortgage fraud similarly as Cox later did.
Cox falsified documents to make it appear that he owned properties, and then fraudulently obtained several mortgages on them for five to six times their actual worth. He acquired millions of dollars this way; estimates report the amount at between US$5 and $25 million. Cox's first conviction occurred in 2002 when he was sentenced to probation for mortgage fraud. He was then fired from the mortgage broker position he held in a Tampa, Florida area firm. He began his life as a dedicated criminal in central Florida after that offense, before fleeing the area when his activities were discovered. His crime spree continued across the southern US, eventually landing him on the Secret Service's Most Wanted list. He was aided by several female accomplices, some of whom are in prison or have served time there for their participation in his fraudulent mortgage practices. Cox was arrested on November 16, 2006. Indicted on 42 counts, and facing prison sentences of up to 400 years, he plea bargained his sentence down to a maximum of 54 years on April 11, 2007 and was sentenced to 26 years on November 17. He is currently in a low-security prison in Florida.〔Kushner, David. (Sale of the Century, sex drugs and the real estate con ), ''Playboy'' magazine, playboy.com, May 2013.〕 His story is well chronicled and has been featured on Dateline NBC, CNBC's American Greed, in Fortune magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Playboy magazine and many other media outlets.
== Early life ==
Born in Florida, Cox struggled in school due to severe dyslexia.〔Bishop, Shane. (Telling the Tale of a Silver Tongued Liar ), msnbc.msn.com, March 30, 2007, accessed April 15, 2007.〕 His teachers advised him to get a job in which he worked with his hands, so he studied sculpture at the University of South Florida, and majored in Art.〔Morrison, Keith. (Fraud by the book ), msnbc.msn.com, April 2, 2007, accessed April 4, 2007.〕 Rather than follow art, Cox took a job as an insurance agent after college, but his income disappointed him, and he sought out different, more high-paying work.〔
