Amazing, I researched this fraud years ago and it is amazing he is still able to rip new people off by changing company name from earth block to custom super homes, and now I see mass recycle name, what next, invisible homes? All these years and not one satisfied home owner to date, and the only homes he did start turned out to be total disasters for buyers, and as mentioned by others, law suits are pending. I did happen to talk to one victim and talk about sad situations, this couple are in financial ruins because of Dario Busch the master con man. His last email was interesting, he states he is not a realtor, but did he mention he once pretended to be a realtor, for he was once listed on a local MO real estate web site as an agent for company when he began this scam. I contacted broker and shortly thereafter his name was removed from site. So was he a real estate licensed agent, or not? I suspect he conned his way into real estate like he conned his way into representing himself as a home builder company. I was also interesting in the green home concept of earth blocks, which is what caught my attention back in 2003. The reality was he had nothing more than a block of recycled material which he said were glued to together to build homes? Can you even imagine having a home which is glued together? Obviously, no such houses were ever built, not a single one, not even an outhouse, which would have been appropriate given he is also full of $hit. lol Then he switched to the panel wall system, similar to other modular wall systems, but in the case, walls moulded with his recyled materials, similar to cast concrete walls. He always promoted his system as costing less, when in fact, it was always more expensive, mush more when you factor in shipping and crane to lift panels from truck, and then to lift to build home. Do you know what shipping is and the rental of crane and operator would be? I calculated price of this system would be 40% more than typical stick and frame. In addition to increased cost, which probably explains why there are no completed homes to date, after over five years, I have to give Dario one thing, he sure is persistant. lol I can only suspect he has made so much money ripping people off that he knows an easy way to make money when he sees one, and Earth Block, Super Custom Homes and MassRecycle is making him a fortune, but not enough to even build one model home. Amazing, not one spec house in over five years, not even an outhouse. lol Having built homes of all types, no doubt, recycled products are in growing demand as the green home movement evolves, but Dario Busch seems content on ripping people off instead of building homes. ICF World Homes uses Insulated Concrete Form construction system which is proven for many years as the strongest and most cost effective of construction systems, so why would anyone want to consider a costly panel system with fuel prices doubled since first introduced. Just doesn't make sense to me. The concept of mortgage-free-homes is not new, and as good as it sounds as was presented by Dario Busch from start, there are reputable alternatives, so do your research before sending money to anyone.
