Shoot i suspect this goes well into next year. With all the money involved, the number of victims, Amr's delay tactics, Amr tossing so many of his friends and relatives under the bus, and that growing network of fraudsters i can see this even going on for a few years.

Is anyone other than Omar/Amr under suspicion/investigation…his two in-house accountants/bookkeepers, the guy in sales, the project managers who were supposedly in charge of getting materials ordered and projects done? You would kinda think all these people had some idea…

Do these types of cases generally result in fines, jail times or a combination of both?

Just a heads up but there are 8 felony cases in Silver Spring, 4 in Rockville, and 3 in Howard County. The money ranges pretty drastically so you would have to click through the different case numbers and I suspect there will be more to come.

Look here:
https://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiry-index.jsp
And look up Amr elrahimy in the search. If it looks like yours contact mhic with the case number and they'll put u in touch with the right people. Also there is a super helpful Facebook group called victims of optimum construction made up of fellow victims. We can chat more if u get through there.
Best of luck!

They filed 15 felony cases. Multiple felony charges of over $100,000 which can have a sentence of up to 20 years. Will be very interesting how much time he gets when all is done but it this is not shop lifting. It also shows intent based on the number of victims over 2 to 3 years. It was not just a misunderstanding with a couple of customers it appears to have been a coordinated effort.

Yup. In fact the first case is June 1st so I think Amr is going to be in and out of courtrooms all month.

Maybe the Constitutional guaranty of due process?
