Unit 6 - Benchmark 22 unread replies.22 replies. Three people work at a Real Estate Title Firm, called Benchmark, the firm closes deals on new houses. They get checks as down payments/escrow from the buyers of the homes. They get checks from the banks as reimbursement items on the HUD statement. All three can write and sign checks and its not uncommon for them to have each other write the checks out for each other, so they can close out deals. They all also make deposits of the weekly receipts. Benchmark, the owner is not involved. Your suspects:
