There was never an explanation for this

According to the DA:10 victims for thousands of dollars in shoddy construction
Then there are others who the DA is unaware of
On 1.8.19 he wrote a check to Steve Straz (himself) for $15,000
There were many bad checks written
​
​

Cancelled Insurance
They don't like getting bad checks

Picture taken on 3.14.19
On 2.26.19 spent $3928.24 for tiles
Maybe intended for a bathroom or kitchen or for another project. Framing was going on in February
How Steve Straz pays people:
Sometimes on time, sometimes with bad checks
sometimes they hire an attorney
The water hookup company did their work on 9.25.19
Got paid on 7.21.20 (That's only 300 days later)
The company ended up hiring an attorney to get paid at closing
​
Could have saved thousands if paid on time and no attorney was needed
