Christopher Jensen-Tanner, a former owner of Roswell Escrow Services, Inc., was sentenced for fraud involving over $1.2 million.
Jensen-Tanner bought the escrow company in 2013 and handled real estate transactions for clients. By 2017, he began using the company’s funds to support a lavish lifestyle, hiding his actions by moving the money around.
In 2019, a victim reported the fraud, leading to an investigation by the New Mexico Financial Institutions Division, which uncovered the wrongdoing.
Jensen-Tanner was sentenced to 46 months in prison. Additional victims are being sought.
