Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg speaks duringMay 02, 2023 at 2:30 pm EDT
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is charging the drywall and carpentry company JM3 Construction, its owner Lawrence “Larry” Wecker, project manager Michael Speier, and other co-conspirators for allegedly taking part"in multiple criminal schemes to increase their business and revenues to the detriment of their workers and fair competition within this industry," Bragg said.
Bragg alleges that JM3 obtained government-subsidized affordable housing contracts by listing minority and women-owned contractors on paper, while using non-MWBE contractors to do the work, a scheme that the district attorney said put actual MWBE companies at a disadvantage. The DA further alleges that JM3 and Wecker inflated the price of a nearly $10 million drywall contract by $400,000, so the company could pay $50,000 to Adrian Esparragoza, a general contractor who gave them the contract.
