Steven Lavine, THC Technologies, Inc. took $65,000.00 a never supplied the machine tool Sugarland Texas
Steven Lavine, dba THC Technologies, recieved $65,000.00 from us in December of 2008 and never supplied the tool we purchased.
After numerous failed attempts, we contacted another source that gave us contact information of the actual owner of the tool we purchased. We discovered that Steve Lavine not only failed to pay the owner for the machine tool, the owner didn't even know that we had purchased it.
After 7 months of continuous promises from Steven Lavine that were never fulfilled, he could not or would not supply us with our tool. He is the worst kind of crook and is currently under investigation by Detective Billy Baugh of the Sugarland Police.

Steven Levin Sentenced
#3General Comment
Fri, December 16, 2011
Steven Levin as been sentenced in State District Court to 30 years in Texas Dept. of Corrections. Sugar Land police were able to tie Steven to approximately $4.5M in fraudulent transactions. His ultimate downfall had to do with stiffing Caterpillar and a buyer out of Scotland both of which had deep enough pockets to pursue charges. The Scottish buyer hired a private detective to pursue the charges. Which he did. Currently white collar criminals are serving an average of about 2 months per year of sentence. The number of small machine shops victimized by this person is mind boggling.
