Carolina Mall Owners Deal in Alleged Real Estate Scam [South Carolina]
A failing mall in Columbia, S.C., is now under scrutiny to discover what happened to cause its fall over a 20-year time span. Now named Midtown at Forest Acres, the mall has previously been known as Richland Mall, and Richland Fashion Mall.
Although the mall is now owned by Richland Joint Venture, out of Sarasota, Florida, the previous owners are under suspicion by the North Carolina attorney general for an illegal one hundred million dollar real estate investment scheme.
