What changed
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has secured the permanent revocation of real estate broker Jeremy Tucker's license. The action stems from a 29-count administrative complaint filed by the AG's office, alleging that Tucker defrauded investors of millions of dollars through misrepresentations and forgery, including forging signatures on mortgages and promissory notes. The Indiana Real Estate Commission formally ordered the license revocation on December 17, 2025, in response to the complaint.
This enforcement action serves as a strong warning to other licensed professionals engaging in fraudulent activities. Regulated entities, particularly in the real estate and financial services sectors, should ensure robust compliance with investor protection laws and ethical standards. While no specific compliance deadline is mentioned for other entities, the revocation highlights the severe consequences of fraud, including permanent loss of professional licenses and potential civil liabilities for significant financial losses incurred by victims, which in this case could exceed $100 million.
What to do next
- Review internal controls for real estate transactions to prevent fraud.
- Ensure all investor communications and documentation are accurate and properly executed.
- Report any suspected fraudulent activity to relevant regulatory bodies immediately.
Penalties
Permanent revocation of real estate broker license. Victim losses could exceed $100 million.

Add to calendar Attorney General Todd Rokita secures revocation of license against Avon real estate broker who defrauded investors of millions
Attorney General Todd Rokita has ensured that an Avon real estate broker who lied to investors to induce them to loan him money will no longer be a licensed real estate professional in Indiana. The broker, Jeremy Tucker, also forged signatures of investors and a notary on mortgages and promissory notes.
On Dec. 17 — in response to a 29-count administrative complaint filed by Attorney General Rokita’s team — the Indiana Real Estate Commission ordered that Tucker’s real estate broker license be permanently revoked.
“All Hoosiers — consumers, investors and businesses — deserve the opportunity to conduct fair, honest transactions in our state,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Those who engage in illegal behavior or professional misconduct, however, forfeit the privileges enjoyed by others — and our office will always work to protect the public from such predatory racketeers.”
At the commission hearing, multiple victims testified about falling for Tucker’s misrepresentations and loaning him money. One testified he lost more than $10 million to Tucker’s schemes. Another told of losing more than $4 million. Total victim losses could exceed $100 million.
Attorney General Rokita praised collaboration in this case between his Homeowner Protection Unit (HPU) and Licensing Enforcement (LE) team. He particularly praised the diligent work on this matter by Investigator Denise Singleton (LE) and Deputy Attorneys General Chase Haller (HPU) and Kelsey McKnight (LE).
In their order, the commission also levied $29,000 in civil penalties and ordered Tucker to pay all court costs. It further stipulated that Tucker cannot apply for a new license unless he has fulfilled consumer restitution — as ordered by a criminal or civil court — to any person who suffered financial distress because of Tucker’s fraudulent schemes.
Hoosiers are encouraged to contact the Office of the Indiana Attorney General about any suspected scams or scam attempts. Consumers can file a complaint by visiting indianaconsumer.com or calling 1-800-382-5516.
