She paid a total of $46,000 for the lots and resold them -- often just weeks later -- for a total of $665,000 without making any improvements to them. In addition to the fraud and corruption charges, Ms. Riley, 39, was found guilty of tax evasion and of lying about her income to collect housing subsidies.<font size=-1><a href="#FN1">[1]</a></font> </tt></blockquote><p><hr width=25% size=1 align=left><a name="FN1"><font size=-1>[1] Allen Mitchell and Mitchell L.
