re: BR contractor Matt Morris indicted on 135 counts of fraud so far

Obviously but I am talking about the other charges...without this, honestly he could of gotten off free and clear and this is after talking with people close to it both the prosecutors and defense

Again from a pure law perspective....I can promise whatever does go to trial will not end well for him when there are 30 families all crying on the witness stand and not one house has been completed with the clients that haven't left....but again from a pure law standpoint, he could of gotten off

do we know if he's truly on the lam or just hiding out with his lawyers while they negotiate?
because if he's really at the Miami airport with a fake mustache and wig that would be hilarious

Yea they can't find him. He's been a flight risk since the beginning.

He was released after posting on a $635,000 bond.

That's some serious scratch to run off on

His bail bondsman's gonna want some arse on this one.

Ppl may get out of their contracts and have Leins lifted but what about victims the are owed money for work not performed? Would they get that back? I doubt it. Or what if ppl' mortgage company are the ones who gave them their money, even after inspections, do they carry any burden?

classic robbing Peter to pay Paul behavior by a contractor in trouble, assuming he was a legitimate contractor at some point. there would never be financial restitution to the victims regardless of what he is convicted of, as the money is likely gone

again, this assumes there was some other reason he resorted to naked fraud and extortion other than he just decided to be a criminal. I believe the man has a young family. gotta be some trouble he was in that forced his hand

as a contractor I can tell you that if you get upside down on something it is impossible to turn it around without dumb luck or creative accounting. you take your lumps, finish the job (ie fulfill your contract) and move on

quote: Bail was set at $635k. I am going to guess he got out on a property bond. If so, does this mean the bondsman just got a sweet house? If HE built it? Probably not.

Matt did not build this house. Bondsman is set.

im with you

People may be 'lawyering up' but that should all be over civil matters, which it sounds to me that 99% of all his charges should be anyway.

He was probably financially so far in over his head he wound up robbing one customer to maintain his lifestyle or pay labor to complete another project. I don't believe he had good intentions either way. The little interaction I had with him, he always came across as a pompous arse.
