On Dec. 6, 2011, Wells Fargo received a facsimile asking that $445,000 be wired from the CHW escrow account to an HSBC account in New York, held in the name of HUGE International T. Ltd. The fax included what appeared to be written authorizations from Chandler and Blaszyk-with their signatures (it turns out) copied and pasted from the contract the county had posted on the Internet. After HSBC rejected the transfer, saying it had no such account, the Wells Fargo escrow agent supervising the CHW account called the phone number for Blaszyk listed on the suspect faxwithout first verifying that number. When no one answered, he left a voicemail and got a call back from someone claiming to be Blaszyk, who told him to disregard the money transfer. On Dec. 14, Wells Fargo got another faxed request, this one asking $445,000 be sent to a Hong Kong account for HUGE International at Hang Seng Bankwhich also rejected the transfer, because no such account existed.
