The Supreme Court has issued a deferred one-year suspension in the case of an attorney who conspired to obtain $4 million in fraudulent bank loans.

James Demetrakis, a former Edgewater solo practitioner, participated in a scheme to obtain two fraudulent loans from the now-defunct Mariner’s Bank, the Disciplinary Review Board said. Along with real estate developer Fred Daibes, Demetrakis conspired to use sham borrowers to circumvent the bank’s lending rules, the DRB said.
