And yet while he was "away", his wife repeatedly couldn't pay people because, and this is in her own words, " I can't pay you until the wire transfer comes in from the middle east" ! 100%serious here! The majority of workers there have had audits and been charged upwards of 6k because of this company. Now the dept of labor should come in and see how they are using the parolees they hire to do everything from the jobs they are hired for to going to the routhier families residences and doing clean up of their yards , cars, pools, etc! Terrible people! I cannot leave my name as they are vindictive liars and will do anything possible to make people suffer.
