The mainstream media has dozens, no, maybe HUNDREDS of stories about Ryan D. Krutzig who, along with a guy named Jesse Scott Hoffman, committed mortgage fraud in North Minneapolis. The cherry on their sundae of fraud was to sell a house on the 3600 block of Bryant Ave. N. (18 blocks from my house) for $209,000. That's a ridiculous price for that block, even in the middle of a real estate bubble.
Here's the original FBI press release about Krutzig's indictment, click here.
Here's an example of one of the news stories from mid-November of this year, discussing Krutzig's guilty plea, click here.
This story, and numerous similar stories, all seem to be written off the same script, probably a news release about the guilty plea. One might search Google and find scores of stories, all with the same information, few adding any new details. The one detail I'd really like?
Um, what's the address of this house? As a resident of Bryant Ave. N., I'd sure like to know what a $209,000 house looks like on that block of Bryant Ave. N. So, I mean, how about a PDF of the original criminal complaint, so I can look through all these details?
So far, I haven't been able to turn up the address of the house. I have, however, found an address for Krutzig in Maple Grove and his relatively minor criminal record.
The address in Maple Grove is...
...7880 Yucca Ln N. Here's a link to the Hennepin County tax info, click here.
Krutzig's criminal record, obtained from the Minnesota courts website, is relatively minor, as follows:

I am unable to obtain the results of these charges at the moment due to server issues here in Afghanistan. Same with Jesse Scott Hoffman's record which, again, is pretty minor.

I'd sure love to know what a $209,000 house looks like on the 3600 block of Bryant Ave. N. Well, if I keep digging...maybe I will get lucky, sooner or later. Lord knows I can't depend on the mainstream media to provide the nitty gritty details that I, as somebody who lives RIGHT NEAR THE FREAKING HOUSE IN QUESTION, would like to know.

Turns up listed as the owner of 2947 Girard Ave. N. back in 2007, but the house was sold to Danmark Properties.
License in review 4/15/2010.
Looks like there was some pretty inflated property values going on at THAT property, too.

Still looking for the house on the 3600 Block of Bryant Ave. N.
3646 Bryant was sold for $209,900 in 2006. A 2 bedroom, 1187 sqft house for that much, huh? Something's fishy there.
And the prior sale on this home was $117,500 and it closed on 3/28/2006...it was advertised as having been updated for this sale. 90 days later it sold for $209,900.
Is that the house, then?

Owner shows up as SJH Holdings LLC, 9637 Anderson Lakes Parkway, 135 Eden Prairie, MN.
Taxpayer Ted M. Hoffman.
I was in the very act of going through all the "3600 Bryant Ave. N." addresses on the city website when I saw your comment. I had just gone three houses past this one, didn't realize this was the house from the info I was seeing.
