Let's see if I can clear some things up on this post. Tom Lewis did not run Body Crystal for 15 years. He stepped in to help run the company for the owner Jay Smith who was injured as a first responder during hurricane Maria for 3 years, from 2017 to 2020 when the bookkeeper (Ms. Cook) found over $36,000 missing from the company checking account & he was fired
It was also said that Mr. Lewis claimed there was never an agreement for Ms. Cook or Mr. Dacastello to work on the house and the only agreement was to work on his projects. If that is true, then why did Mr. Lewis & Mr. Ramos file a complaint against Ms. Cook with the contractors state license board alleging contracting without a license? She received a citation from the board for $3,000.
The only small claims case that Ms. Cook lost which was filed against Mr. Lewis happened because Mr. Ramos and he gave the judge a spreadsheet that said she had agreed to work in exchange for free rent and the judge believed their story. Anyone who would bring a buddy and lie in court against a newly widowed lady just to get out of paying her is gross & sad.
And the comment about how Mr. Lewis had filed a restraining order against her is missing some information. He did try to get a restraining order and it was denied by the court. His business partner tried the same thing alleging elder abuse and that was also denied and thrown out of court.
JJ was smart and figured out what scam artists these two guys are very quickly
