“Flip this House” Plagued with Crooks

February 22, 2008
"Flip this House" TV star Armando Montelongo was indicted by a Travis County grand jury on a theft of service charge according to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper. http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/02/22/0222montelongo.html Armando Montelongo Jr., 36, faces up to two years in state jail if convicted. The indictment, handed up Wednesday, charges that from January 2006 through February 2007 Montelongo failed to pay home appraisal fees in Travis County. This is not the first problem with "Flip this House" stars.  Last year several media outlets were investigating claims that Atlanta businessman Sam Leccima, another Flip this House star, had bilked investors out of their money. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/06/01/entertainment/e125327D35.DTL
