student loan executive, the man who granted the loan. the defense said there was no evidence he knew about the loan or had anything to do with repayment. the jury sided with the federal period of time and found he defrauded a mortgage company claiming a car sale provide funds to secure a mortgage for a vacation house. the car was never sold, and he drove it. he accepted bribes from a friend who paid his tuition bill, agreed to buy the car, but never took it from his garage. now, the codefendants are scheduled to be sentenced in october. we did reach out to the fattah legal team, they are not granting interviews today. live outside the federal chou courthouse, nbc 10 news. >> a statement now from the congressman. he says, this is an extraordinarily difficult day for me and my family, a jury decided that based on the evidence presented to them that i'm guilty of charges presented
