Here is news coverage about their criminal prosecution of a fraudulent Yardley PA contractor:
Succi repeatedly signed contracts for renovations, additions and new construction, only to demand more money for shoddy, unfinished work that he typically failed to complete. When customers tried taking him to court, Succi would file for bankruptcy protection, often changing the name of his company to further avoid collection efforts.Succi was sentenced to 15-30 years in prison after conviction on 27 felony counts.
John Succi does not have a known relationship to Shawn Gerety, Vince, Garvin, John, Jamie or others in the BuildTrend ring, but the scams and the experiences of multiple victims sound similar.
9/21/2015 update:
We are also hearing about Bucks County victims of the BuildTrend ring reporting to Detective Tim Williams of the Warrington Township Police Department.
Garvin told us contractor disputes are always civil. Looks like he's wrong about that too.
