William Hinton around 2002, ripped off my parents pretending to be a licensed contractor. This is before new Florida laws came about to protect people. He ran off with $35,000.00 in insurance money that was paid to him to do a job. At that time, he only did one or two things and cops said it was civil. Fast forward: he is a sexual predator and his dad is locked up along with his brother for robbing people up and down Tamiami Trl. His wife if complicit in his scheme before he got sent away. Look it up on the clerk of courts. Well I hope he’s rotting away in hell.
