We investigate why more than a dozen homes in two different Lincoln County, NC subdivisions were left unfinished, years after closing and building permits were issued. Our ‘Unfinished Business ‘ investigation uncovers the players and the companies connected to Mario Cotto.

You have the book thrown at you for stealing a Snicker from Walmart but others get to walk off with $150,000 of someone else's money and face no consequences. We have some backward laws in this country.

Just look at that man's toys around his house. We all know where the money went and it never came close to building those houses.

A "builder" who can't even replace the downspout on his gutters but has a Super Duty sitting in his driveway is a red flag.

I have built 7 custom homes. My youngest son has his degree in building and construction. He has built two of our homes. Every land buyer should purchase the land and make sure there is a clear deed in hand. NEVER get a new construction loan unless you the homeowner has complete control over the money and all draws. Always check with your states licensing board to make sure that the person you hire has their general contractors license. Make sure that all materials are delivered to your homesite, and never allow a builder to communicate with your bank. Always have the builder send you a draw request and make sure what you are being billed has materials used on your property and the work has been performed. I would never sign a contract with a builder that gives you a one price fits all for building your house. Always sign a contract with a general contractor on a cost plus basis. I feel so bad for all of these people. It’s tough enough building a home but to have someone rob you is frightening. I think what Cotto did was take these peoples money to purchase new land to develop, and start the same scheme over. I also think the bank holds some responsibility for releasing funds without full inspections. The AG should have done a complete investigation and charged all the parties that were involved with this scam.

This is really simple. Cotto is a crook. There’s not question. Te bank was at a minimum, complicit.

Have I ever gone through this, no. Do I intend to build a house and hire a contractor, no. Did I watched this whole report? Yes I did. Jody always does the best investigating reporting ever. I hope these people get justice.
