CA Attorney General Charges Construction Firm with Felony Wage Theft and Tax Evasion
Briefly

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the filing of 31 felony charges against US Framing West for wage theft and tax evasion, costing $2.6 million.
Bonta stated, 'For some reason US Framing West seems to think it can operate outside the prevailing wage laws of California. I'm here with a simple message: They cannot.'
The company allegedly dodged over $2.5 million in state payroll taxes and underpaid workers on a public housing project, shorting them at least $40,000.
Bonta accused US Framing West of grand theft, payroll tax evasion, and filing false documents, highlighting their hiring of unlicensed subcontractors and underreported payroll.
