Construction Execs and Subcontractors Conspired to Fraudulently Use Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises as Pass-Through Entities to Obtain Contracts for Affordable Housing Developments. Engaged in Payroll and Insurance Fraud and Other Forms of Corruption.
NEW YORK, NY (May 3, 2023) — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today announced a series of indictments charging eight individuals and six companies with pervasive fraud and corruption within the construction industry, including schemes that defrauded city and state agencies and affected the development of numerous affordable housing projects in New York City and the tri-state area.
Among those projects is The Stella at 14 LeCount Place in downtown New Rochelle.
The indictments were the result of a long-term investigation by the Manhattan D.A.’s Office’s Rackets Bureau, which began when investigators identified a possible criminal enterprise after observing suspicious check-cashing activity. In turn, this led to separate investigations into recipients of bribes and the alleged Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) fraud schemes.
During the course of the investigation, DANY conducted court-authorized eavesdropping over multiple cellphones and executed search warrants with respect to business offices, residences, and email accounts.
One indictment charges JM3 Construction LLC, its principal Lawrence Wecker, 82, of Manhattan; Michael Speier, 46, of Jackson, N.J.; Joseph Guinta, 57, of Middletown, N.J.; Lisa Rossi, 52, of Eastchester N.Y. and Marcos Pinheiro, 65, of Kearny, N.J., as well as their companies (collectively referred to as the JM3 Construction Enterprise), with Enterprise Corruption, alleging that they engaged in multiple criminal schemes to increase their business and revenues to the detriment of their workers and fair competition within the industry.
Enterprise corruption is a class B felony that can carry a maximum sentence of eight to 25 years in state prison. If convicted, the companies also may be barred from competing for city contracts.
JM3 Construction LLC, its principal were charged with conspiracy, insurance fraud, grand larceny, money laundering, falsifying business records, commercial bribing, scheme to defraud and offering a false instrument for filing.
Lawrence Wecker is well-known to the Manhattan DA’s Office as an associate of both the Genovese crime family and the Lucchese crime family.
On March 7, 1989, The Village Voice published a report by William Bastone on a deep, wide-ranging investigation into organized crime’s involvement in the construction industry in the New York area. Pelham Manor and New Rochelle are mentioned multiple times in the story.
Bastone explains that drywall work — the construction of interior walls in buildings — is usually the largest subcontract awarded in rehabilitation projects. Vincent DiNapoli, a three-time felon, then sentenced to 24 years in jail, was the Genovese family’s construction specialist. He controlled two drywall companies: Inner City Drywall and Cambridge Drywall.
DiNapoli and his firms were places on a federal “debarment” list. Cambridge and Inner City were removed from the list of ineligible contractors only a few months later when DiNapoli claimed he sold his shares in the firms but actually controlled the two firms.
HUD records indicate that DiNapoli’s interest in Cambridge was reportedly bought out by Larry Wecker for $900,000 in May 1981. An affidavit signed by Wecker in June 1981 states DiNapoli “maintains no control and exercises no influence” over the firm. The sale was not an arms-length transaction, however. FBI sources say that Wecker, 48, is considered an “associate” of the Genovese family and that he regularly visited DiNapoli at the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.
The article describes a “club” of contractors “covering” construction jobs. This process, once a Vincent DiNapoli specialty, results in contractors being allowed to illegally hire cheaper, nonunion laborers for projects that are supposed to “go union.”
38 Are Charged In Mob Control Of Construction In the City (Sept. 7, 2000)
The indictment also charges 11 companies and 16 people who owned or worked for them, including Lawrence Wecker, who prosecutors identified as a Lucchese family associate and construction racketeer.
Mr. Wecker, who was an unindicted co-conspirator in a 1986 case that struck at the mob’s role in the concrete industry, was called ”a walking A.T.M. machine” by one mob boss for his money-laundering prowess. Mr. Wecker, who was convicted of federal tax evasion in 1997 in connection with one of the companies named in yesterday’s indictment, is one of three defendants in the current case who have not yet been arrested. He is on parole and prosecutors said they thought he had fled to Malta, in the Mediterranean.
On or about March 24, 2021, Lashawn Henry and Brittany Henry met with Lawrence Wecker at a diner in New Rochelle, New York, and Lawrence Wecker gave Lashawn Henry and Brittany Henry a manila envelope and money. On or about June 3, 2021, Brittany Henry met with Lawrence Wecker in a parking lot outside diner in New Rochelle, New York, and Lawrence Wecker handed Brittany Henry two white envelopes.
The indictment contains 60 counts, including Enterprise Corruption, Conspiracy in the Fourth and Fifth Degrees, Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree, Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Attempted Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree, Insurance Fraud in the First and Second Degrees, Money Laundering in the Second and Third Degrees, and other related charges. The number of counts and the varied charges recognizes the diverse and expansive criminal conduct engaged in by the defendants.
Wrecker was also charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second and Third Degrees and Criminal Possession of a Firearm after investigators recovered a loaded .38 caliber revolver while executing a search warrant of Wrecker’s residence.
Lisa Rossi was the principal of LNR Construction LLC, a company that was created to be a certified women-owned business enterprise to facilitate pass-through schemes directed by Lawrence Wecker, Joseph Revello, Michael Speier, and JM3 Construction LLC. By using LNR Construction LLC, JM3 Construction LIC was able to increase its government-subsidized affordable housing business, which often required the participation of such WBEs.
On or about January 16, 2021, in a telephone conversation, Lawrence Wecker and the JM3 President discussed the arrangement with Lisa Rossi and LNR Construction LLC, during which Lawrence Wecker stated in substance, that JM3 Construction LLC was paying Lisa Rossi $2500 per week because they were falsely listing her as a WBE subcontractor on the 14 LeCount Place, New Rochelle, New York project.
On or about March 2, 2021, in a telephone conversation, Lawrence Wecker stated in substance to LaShawn Henry, “Send me a copy of your certificate … I’m gonna use it with L+M … going to put you down as a taping contractor, we’ll sit down and work out a good thing.”
On or about April 21, 2021, in a telephone conversation in New York County, Lawrence Wecker stated in substance to Lisa Rossi, “You don’t do shit. Waiting for you for five years for you to get your fucking state license… you had money coming in without doing fucking nothing.”
On or about July 27, 2021, in a telephone conversation, Lawrence Wecker and Lisa Rossi discussed cash payments from JM3 Construction LLC to Lisa Rossi. Lawrence Wecker stated in substance, “The $2500 was based on you having a job JM3 Construction LLC was paying you off … On LeCount, we were using you over there as a lady,” a reference to being a WBE subcontractor.
L+M Development Partners, together with Wilder Balter Partners, Inc., developed The Stella at 14 LeCount Place in New Rochelle, NY.
Talk of the Sound has requested a statement from City of New Rochelle officials.
Westchester County Legislator Damon Maher is not waiting. He is demanding answers.
The Stella was one of several residential construction projects in downtown New Rochelle in which Westchester County provided substantial funding to incentivize development of affordable housing.
“I will be requesting that the County Attorney review the matter and advise this level of government on whether clawback proceedings may be appropriate,” said Maher.
Grand Jury Indictment No. 71833/2023
According to court documents and statements made on the record, Wecker owned and operated JM3 Construction LLC, a large, non-union drywall and carpentry company that specialized in government-subsidized affordable housing projects in New York County and the greater New York City area. Wecker, with assistance from Speier, directed business operations and was responsible for:
- Reporting truthful information about JM3’s use of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises subcontractors and suppliers to city and state agencies.
- Providing truthful payroll information for workers’ compensation insurance purposes.
- Giving accurate accounting information to clients.
- Properly paying subcontractors.
From 2015 through 2021, the JM3 Construction Enterprise engaged in a multitude of criminal schemes, including falsifying the business records related to the large, multi-million-dollar cash payrolls of JM3 Construction LLC and two subcontracting companies (JACG Construction LLC and MGS Construction Corp.) led by two men on the JM3 Construction LLC payroll — Guinta and Pinheiro. Pinheiro was responsible for generating the cash by using a series of shell companies to cash checks which were made to appear as payment for legitimate subcontractor services. JM3 Construction LLC, JACG Construction LLC and MGS Construction Corp used this cash to fund their payrolls.
During the course of the investigation, JM3 Construction LLC’s cash payroll typically amounted to $150,000 a week, which also included the company making large, weekly cash payments to certain subcontractors, including Guinta and Pinheiro. None of the cash was reported to the companies’ workers’ compensation insurance providers or tax authorities. The companies and their owners also took steps to hide and cover up workers’ injuries so that clients and insurance providers would not discover the cash payroll.
Both MGS Construction Corp.. and JACG Construction LLC had workers’ compensation insurance policies with the New York State Insurance Fund. They made false statements to NYSIF about their companies’ workforce size and payroll amounts. The indictment alleges that MGS Construction Corp. defrauded NYSIF of more than $1.7 million and continued to work following the cancelation of its insurance policy, thereby putting its workers at risk. JACG Construction LLC is alleged to have defrauded NYSIF of more than $360,000 in premiums.
In addition to the false statements and false information provided in connection with the companies’ workers’ compensation insurance, it was the business practice of JM3 Construction LIC and MGS Construction Corp. to cover up worker injuries, in particular, when the worker was undocumented and paid in cash since they were unable to explain the worker’s presence on the jobsite. The grand jury received evidence regarding JM3 Construction LLC workers injured on the project located at The Stella, 14 LeCount Place, New Rochelle, and the JM3 Construction Enterprise’s efforts to hide the injuries from M3 Construction LLC’s client and have the injured workers lie about how an injury occurred when seeking medical attention. Neither worker was compensated.
For example, on January 25, 2021, DANY intercepted a conversation among Lawrence Wecker, Michael Speier, and Marcos Pinheiro discussing an injury sustained by one of Marcos Pinheiro’s workers. Michael Speier stated sum and substance, “He broke his arm … we can’t make a report for him, there is no payroll for him.” Lawrence Wecker directed Michael Speier and Marcos Pinheiro in sum and substance, “Say he didn’t go to the doctor, he don’t need no fucking doctor … Marcos, tomorrow, let him sign in tomorrow, into the building, then coffeetime, take him out of the building … then when he goes to the hospital, he fell walking on the street.” Lawrence Wecker, Michael Speier, and Marcos Pinheiro sought to prevent the JM3 Construction LLC client’s safety inspector from discovering the injured worker, for whom JM3 Construction LLC and MGS Construction Corp. could not provide payroll records since he was paid in cash.
On or about March 31, 2021, in a telephone conversation, Lawrence Wecker directed a JIM3 Construction LLC Foreman-2 in substance, “If somebody gets hurt, if it’s minor, take him to urgent care, say it happened at home and we’ll pay him.” JM3 Foreman-2 responded in substance, “Like we always do.”
The JM3 Construction Enterprise engaged in a pervasive and multi-faceted M/WBE fraud scheme to obtain lucrative, government-subsidized affordable housing contracts. This involved falsifying business records and offering false instruments for filing with governmental entities (the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the New York State Department of Homes and Community Renewal) to make it appear that M/WBE firms were providing goods and services on projects. In fact, JM3 Construction LLC and/or other non-M/WBE firms provided the goods and services.
Among the projects in which the JM3 Construction Enterprise engaged in M/WBE fraud were:
- National Urban League, 126 West 126th Street, Manhattan
- The Fountains, 888 Fountain Avenue, Brooklyn
- Vital Brookdale, 535 East 98th Street, Brooklyn
- 79 Avenue D, Manhattan
- Via Vyse, 1812 Vyse Avenue, Bronx
- Story Avenue East, 1520 Story Avenue, Bronx
- The Stella, 14 LeCount Place, New Rochelle
Several methods of M/WBE fraud schemes were carried out by the JM3 Construction Enterprise, wherein pass-through entities — companies purported to be qualified M/WBEs but which performed no actual construction work — were used by the JM3 Construction Enterprise to gain business. One included the use of Rossi’s company, LNR Construction LLC as a pass-through on projects. In another, the JM3 Construction Enterprise used Eco Geek Living, Inc., a certified M/WBE, as a pass-through to make it appear that Eco Geek Living, Inc. supplied goods/materials and services to JM3 Construction LLC on certain projects. In order to obtain a $1.5 million drywall contract for a project in Harlem, the JM3 Construction Enterprise used Urban Strategies Of New York, Inc.. as a pass-through.
As alleged in a separate indictment, LaShawn Henry, 60, of Manhattan and her daughter, Brittany Henry, 27, of Yonkers, and their company Urban Strategies Of New York, Inc.., accepted cash payments from JM3 Construction LLC, Wecker, and other JM3 representatives in exchange for securing business for JM3 Construction LLC. LaShawn Henry and Brittany Henry sought to use their influence with a consulting client, a large affordable housing builder, to steer other contracts to JM3 Construction LLC Additionally, LaShawn Henry, Brittany Henry, and Urban Strategies Of New York, Inc.. conspired with Wecker and falsified records to claim that Urban Strategies Of New York, Inc.. would provide M/WBE subcontractor carpentry work for JM3 Construction LLC, work which it was wholly unqualified to perform. This enabled JM3 Construction LLC to be awarded a contract for a development in Harlem.
Wecker and the JM3 Construction Enterprise stole money from their subcontractors and falsified related business records in connection with these thefts. They also rigged construction project bids to ensure that JM3 Construction LLC was awarded projects with inflated amounts to cover substantial bribes. In one instance involving a lucrative drywall contract for nearly $10 million, the price was inflated by $400,000 so that JM3 Construction LLC could pay a $50,000 kickback to Adrian Esparragoza, 48, of Staten Island, the general contractor executive who awarded them the project.
Esparragoza, who is charged in a separate indictment, was an executive of a New Jersey-based construction company and responsible for the bidding and award process and the day-to-day supervision of a major Newark, N.J., project. Esparragoza is charged for providing insider information to Wecker and Speier to ensure the awarding of the contract in exchange for the kickback. The contract was later transferred to Guinta’s company, JACG Construction LLC, who agreed to honor the bribe arrangement.
Wecker, Speier, and JM3 Construction LLC also lied and stole money meant for subcontractors, including hundreds of thousands of dollars due to a JM3 Construction LLC subcontractor for work done on a luxury condominium project on East 78th Street in Manhattan.
Investigators executed a search warrant on Wecker’s home in November 2021 and seized a loaded .38 caliber revolver. Wecker is additionally charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second and Third Degrees and Criminal Possession of a Firearm.
During the course of the investigation into the JM3 Construction Enterprise and related entities, separate alleged fraud schemes were uncovered.
In a separate indictment, Big Apple Designers, Inc. is alleged to have engaged in an M/WBE fraud scheme and falsified business records and filed false documents with HPD and DHCR. The filings stated that the company had purchased materials from Eco Geek Living, Inc., a New York State certified M/WBE firm. In reality, a non-M/WBE firm, supplied the materials.
Affordable housing development projects were affected, including:
- Victory Plaza, 11 West 118th Street, Manhattan
- Nevins Street Apartments, 50 Nevins Street, Brooklyn
- Long Island College Hospital Redevelopment, 347 Henry Street, Brooklyn
In another indictment, LaShawn Henry is charged with an extensive grand larceny and disability fraud scheme for making false statements to the United States Social Security Agency, the New York City Human Resources Administration, New York City Transit and two private companies. LaShawn Henry received approximately $81,000 in disability insurance payments from SSA. Additionally, $225,000 of her federal loan debt was discharged after she used her SSA award letter to apply to the United States Department of Education for a Total and Permanent Disability discharge. During the period she collected these benefits, LaShawn Henry, as principal of , was receiving substantial contractual consulting fees from a general contracting firm and was using the company to pay her personal expenses.
Investigators from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office intercepted hundreds of communications in which LaShawn Henry made statements contradicting her disability claims and other claims made in applications for government public benefits. While conducting surveillances, investigators observed LaShawn Henry walking a construction site, attending a political fundraiser, driving her vehicle and entering a waterslide at Dorney Park amusement and water park.
Brittany Henry is charged in a separate indictment with multiple counts of offering a false instrument for filing in connection with fraudulent claims for unemployment insurance. From April 6, 2020, to November 8, 2020, Brittany Henry submitted 33 weekly certifications to the New York State Department of Labor stating that she had not worked and was eligible for unemployment benefits. However, during this entire period, she served as Vice President of Urban Strategies Of New York, Inc. and was paid a salary.

What they are saying:
District Attorney Bragg: “The common factor in all of these alleged schemes is greed at all costs. When the field is rigged, law-abiding companies and legitimate MWBEs are cheated out of much-needed contracts. And when executives care more about their bottom line than their employees and the law, hard-working New Yorkers suffer. These indictments send the message that the Manhattan D.A.’s Office does not tolerate fraud in any form.”
New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn E. Strauber: “These defendants, as charged, enriched themselves at the expense of a program intended to assist minority and women-owned businesses, by deceiving City and State government entities, part of a series of frauds that shortchanged workers and undermined fair competition. I want to thank the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and all the agencies that worked on this wide-ranging investigation for their commitment to expose and prevent construction fraud.”
New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Adolfo Carrión Jr.: “We have zero tolerance for anyone seeking to defraud the City and harm minority and women-owned businesses. HPD is serious about protecting the integrity of our MWBE programs. We stand by our commitment to diversifying who the city does business with and we thank the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for bringing these bad actors to light.”
New York State Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas: “We applaud District Attorney Bragg and his office for uncovering and prosecuting this alleged fraud and malfeasance and protecting the integrity of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises that lawfully abide by a program intended to promote employment and business opportunities on State contracts for minority and women-owned businesses. HCR will continue to assist and cooperate with the ongoing investigation.”
Executive Director & CEO of the New York State Insurance Fund Gaurav Vasisht: “Insurance fraud, including workers’ compensation fraud, costs honest companies and employees tens of millions of dollars every year. We work hard to educate injured workers, companies, and the medical community on spotting and reporting fraud, and we’re grateful to D.A. Bragg and his office for indicting the bad actors in this scheme.”
