Gee, what a surprise!

The former owners of the Hotel Pere Marquette were indicted this week on charges of money laundering and mail fraud.

A 26-page indictment, returned late Tuesday, accuses Gary Matthews and Monte Brannan of diverting $750,000 of hotel funds to themselves after the hotel went into foreclosure. Overall, they are accused of taking approximately $1.6 million away from the hotel's bank accounts and putting it into their own.

Very newsworthy, but not surprising at all. Corruption is rampant in the world today!

Hmm, I've don't think I've heard of a real estate developer scamming the public before. Oh wait.

Anyone surprised by their "not guilty" pleas?
