CLEVELAND - An extended interview with a key figure in a Cleveland housing scam reveals new details about his alleged involvement.

Investors said Michael Alexander convinced them to invest in foreclosed homes in Cleveland -- then disappeared.

In an extended interview with Alexander, who has also been accused by a former business associate of fraud involving those foreclosed homes in Cleveland, Alexander denies any wrongdoing.

Our extended interview was the result of tracking Alexander from the former business headquarters of EZ Access Funding in Newport Beach, California, to Philadelphia and then to Dallas where Alexander was working in an unrelated business.
