		<description>I knew Jesse when he was around 12 or so. I knew his father.
I knew his grandfather, Ronnie. I  was once so very proud of him. He always spoke of success. When he bought the big house. I knew something was going on. His father was a licensed builder. His grandfather was a licensed electrician. I was a licensed builder. And we never saw success so quickly. All the beautiful cars. Now I know. Now we all know. It&#039;s a shame. His father and grandpa would never allow this sort of thing. His father away from a car crash. His grandfather died heart failure. I never the would turn out this way. I hope he sells everything and pays every back. Do the right thing, Jesse. Your family are people that truly loves the LORD. Do the correct thing. Think of your real FATHER. Pray.</description>

		<description>Good luck on getting restitution. I had a lady that stole over 55,000 from me. Somebody knew the judge and she moved out of the state no residence in Florida and does not have to pay me so good luck and the best of wishes on you getting it. In fact it happened at the same address that Banks last attended.</description>

		<description>A local civic  organization recently was scammed by an alleged mural painter. It’s a shame that people don’t have the honor to stick by their word. The contractors mentioned above need to be held accountable. Theft by deception is a serious problem in today’s society.</description>

		<description>Drew, You are correct.  In twenty five years, I have never ask for money up front.  If a contractor ask for money up front, find another contractor.</description>

		<description>Y’all watch…
Banks is already trying to open another business and business account…
He is blaming all his sun-contractors for this… 
He doesn’t feel any guilt, it’s all someone else’s fault…
And his brother in law…. Jesse
He just wanted to be like Matt…</description>

		<description>We were lucky.  That product wasn’t great, but we were fortunate enough to have it completed.  I fully feel it was because I played on his emotion by telling him to be a man and stick by his word.  8 months for a 6 week project.  Within 4 weeks after that comment they wrapped up.  They worked 4 days a week during that 4 weeks while only 1 day each two weeks during the previous 8 months. 

My hopes is this opens up some eyes and the investigation runs deeper than just looking at these 2 contractors.  There also needs to be accountability at the county level, too.  

There are many more horrible contractors out here. Not all are G.C’s, but subcontractors getting away with horrible work and ripping off consumers.</description>

		<description>Never pay a legitimate contractor up front and you won&#039;t be a victim. I have been in construction for over 30 years and have never asked for money up front. Legitimate contractors should never ask for money up front, it is the way we are taught.</description>

		<description>I am wondering, if the law allows people who do this, to not have to pay the people they stole from back.</description>
