Cascade Construction-RNVTN

Hi, I am a plumbing contractor from Peoria il. I got involved with Steve Smith through his new company Cascade renovations, I did work for him where we worked for a world war 2 vet (named bud) to remodel his bathroom. Steve call my company looking for a quote, "to remodel a for a world war2 veteran( which he made sure to tell me that bud was)" saying that he had saved them so much money on a roofing project, that he thought that they could have a shower put in for them, for the difference in the cost between "his" price for a fencing and roofing project and the price given them by "some other"unsavory contractor . After meeting with bud and seeing his project I gave a price to do the work. Steve, accepted the cost and said that; our price fit the budget. So we did the work for the shower but there was going to be some work to do with replacing the lavatory. So we waited and waited for the special order cabinet to come in so we might put it in as well but, excuse after excuse came, and no cabinet. Then after months (no exaggeration) of waiting we went to visit Bud where he told me that he had set a sink himself when he too became aware Steve wasn't going to deliver the cabinet. When I apologized and said I'd make sure we didn't charge him with the cost of replacing the sink, He informed me that he'd paid the entire contract amount and that I wasn't the first subcontractor to show up at his house wanting to know when we would receive our money from Steve. Steve wouldn't return our calls, and bud got a lawyer. Then I read about Steve's other ventures such as Boss Construction, BCI Industries Inc., CR Construction, and a flooring company which I forget the name of and I realized that this guy just grifted a 90 year old senior citizen who was also a world war 2 vet. Not to mention this was after he was punished by Lisa Madigan with revocation of ability to do construction work in Illinois due to fraud. What a cheat. He belongs behind bars. Pleaseet me know if you might be able to help it's not about the money but rather the principle, I don't want to file a lean against bud's house to insure he doesn't get away with it.

Thank you,
