What the media didn't report. What the ERA ignored. What actually happened.
How discovering a leaky 85-unit apartment building and refusing to cover it up led to $1.1M in unpaid invoices — and the destruction of a 200-project company.
Landowners approached me to develop on their own land. When the market crashed 35%, funders pulled back. I put $2.3M in to save them. Their lawyers told them to block the rest.
20,000 pages of meeting minutes — 12 months of daily briefings warning of redundancy. The ERA called it "too much evidence" and awarded $274,000 anyway.
$5,500 in stolen tools — stated as fact by the ERA. A secret 31% rate increase. A 30% margin on materials. $180K awarded while running his own renovation business.
