Title: $69,000 Gone: Our Builder Betrayal

 Title: $69,000 Gone: Our Builder Betrayal

Post: We had a signed contract with Augustine Acosta and Bruce Greenstein to build our home. The start date was August 27, 2024.

We paid $69,000 for materials — roofing, heating and AC, sprinkler systems. Not a single thing was installed. Not a single day of work. Not a single call to explain.

They vanished. With our money. With our trust. And with no accountability.

This isn’t just a financial loss. It’s a betrayal. It’s a breach of contract. It’s a warning.

So here I am, speaking up. Because silence protects the wrong people — and I refuse to be part of that.

Augustine. Bruce. You had a contract. You had our trust. And you failed us.

To anyone reading: Document everything. Speak up. Protect your home. Protect your future. Because $69,000 gone without a trace? That’s not just wrong. It’s theft.
