LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A Las Vegas judge found a local contractor guilty of fraud over the summer after he allegedly targeted seniors.
Steven Adinolfi, owner of Made in the Shade, pleaded guilty to felony fraud. As part of the agreement, the Nevada State Contractors Board said he paid $55,000 upfront.
“The sentence ordered by Judge Yeager exemplifies the value placed on Nevada’s construction laws and sends a bold message to those operating unlawfully that such actions will not be considered lightly when discovered,” said David Behar, Nevada State Contractors Board executive officer. “Our Board has established a collaborative relationship with the Attorney General’s office and will never hesitate to pursue the highest form of discipline for individuals who intentionally defraud and harm members of the public.”
Adinolfi faces nearly $295,000 more in restitution to homeowners he defrauded. A judge suspended his 2 to 8 years in prison sentence.
He will serve 36 months probation and must maintain full-time employment.
