The fuck is wrong with you?
What did he do to you?
Why are you fucking with a small business?

That comic was made by someone who has never driven a screw into wood nor hammered a nail.

He is labor trafficking homeless people. Has domestic violence charges against elderly, showed up on site a couple times with an ankle monitor. Scammed a doctor 750k. Scammed a lot of home owners in the area and continues to do so among many other things. He's judgement proof. Either really broke or is hiding his assets. One of the workers tells me he let it slip out once he has a million dollars. Another worker tells me he eats Costco hotdogs every day. He also told one of his workers not to tell anyone his address. Probably hiding from the court judgement or the tens of homeless and homeowners he's scammed.

I fired him and hired his workers directly because he wasn't paying them. He wasted 3 weeks of my project doing nothing.

Contractor licensing board and police don't do anything.

Wow, OK.
What a turd.
Well, if you only have illegal means because the law protects him...
The best way to hurt a contractor is to steal their tools.
So rent a car, tail him from a jobsite, scope the place, cut his trailer's padlock with a dremel and book it with his tablesaw and tilesaw and jigsaw and sawzall and his ratchet and bit sets and every piece of copper and conduit in there.

But, uh... Why can't he be legally prosecuted?

that's hilarious

You posted this last week. Seek help

That's funny because more than half his tools are from his workers that he doesn't give back.

>>35084287

if you have a way to track the tools and report them as stolen, there is a minimum statutory threshold for a felony. That opens some doors into looking into the guy if you've got a decent relationship with local police.

but likely OP has been involved in shady shit too and is probably of dubious moral character....

>>35084499
I actually know some police but they literally just tell me it's civil. I want to go with the workers to the police but they keep putting it off. They are somewhat homeless so might just be afraid of cops.

No point in defending myself but the worst thing I have ever "screwed" someone over is I stole a Super Smash code in order to reach the threshold to redeem Mewtwo for free from the Nintendo store. He didn't even know about the code and would not have been able to get anything with it alone. And yes it was out of malice because he was a piece of shit.

I'm seriously just so sick and tired of always trying to do the right moral thing just to get taken advantage of. Woe is me I know but fuck my autism I don't take risks because I of this whole moral code I follow.

>>35082498
The worker told me, allegedly there is an armed guard there at night which is prob bullshit. But legitimately I have too much to lose to do stuff like that.

I've also been trying to help one of the workers find housing and have since showed him 6 or so rooms he could afford but he has a massive RV that he refuses to get rid of and his girlfriend has some issues with the rooms I've found for them.

They eat out most days and throw away a lot of leftovers instead of saving them. She smokes a lot. There's some legal stuff they have to do. I try to tell him to make her quit. Stop wasting money etc. But they just don't. I've even took him to buy food at 12 am once because they hadn't eaten for 2 days.

Is there something wrong with me?

>>35085455
If you cannot take risks, you will accomplish nothing of worth.
Another idea would be a class action lawsuit with all of his victims. That will cost tens of thousands of dollars. There is no justice in this country. So be a vigilante. :)
Be smart about it.

Trying to help people who aren't willing to take responsibility for themselves

in eastern europe "his" workers would unite one afternoon and beat the shit out of him, talking their tools back and noone would a)bat an eye and b)snitch to the authorities c) he would learn his lesson

>>35085817
Isn't that what (((good))) people are supposed to do?

>>35085828
Unfortunately a lot of them are drug addicts and we can't find them. I mentioned it elsewhere and a guy mentioned he knew him and a bunch of guys he didn't pay. I told him I know where he lives and he said ok give me the address he'll get some guys but every time he just leaves so I think he's either afraid of the consequences or is just pretending to be a tough guy.
