David Sobol
Issaquah real estate agent David Sobol, 40, was charged in a 40-count federal indictment with several counts of bank, mail and wire fraud. Authorities said Sobol and others falsified tax records and employed “straw buyers” — unqualified buyers with falsified loan applications — to purchase homes in Seattle and on the Eastside.

In addition to Sobol, six other people were charged in the indictment:
- Viktor Kobzar, 32, of Federal Way, a mortgage broker
- Camie Byron, 28, of Renton, a loan officer for Kobay and Nationwide
- Alla Sobol, 28, of Renton, a mortgage broker
- Vladislav Baydovskiy, 31, of Bellevue, a mortgage broker
- Donata Baydovskiy, 28, of Bellevue, a part-owner of Emerald City Escrow
According to authorities:
David Sobol purchased a Newcastle property for $669,950 in August 2007. A month later, he sold the property to co-defendant Byron for $1 million. Byron used falsified loan applications to obtain two loans worth about $900,000 for the property.
