Garage Flooring Pros, John T Biasco, Vanita Biasco, Garage Solutions Garage Flooring Pros owner John T Biasco is a professional crook with a long, documented history of fraud and ripping off customers! Dallas-Fort Worth Texas

John Biasco at Garage Flooring Pros is a professional crook. He rips people off and ruins their homes, he uses deceptive advertising practices including bait-and-switch, and he is disparaging your businesses. He is lying to customers about your methods, your materials, and he disparages your personal characters in order to close jobs. I have reached out to the BBB and the attorney general's office, but neither has teeth. I hope you can use this information to collectively put a stop to him. All of this information can be, and has been, verified through the various courts, newspapers, and other records.

In 1993, the Illinois attorney general's office investigated Biasco's predecessor company, Biasco Musical Instrument Co., for consumer fraud. That investigation culminated in a 1994 "assurance of voluntary compliance" in which Biasco Musical Instrument agreed not to engage in 16 specified advertising practices. The company also agreed to pay $20,000 to cover the cost of the investigation, but admitted no wrongdoing.

Biasco Piano owner John Biasco denies the charges and filed a counterclaim last week alleging, among other things, that the "sole purpose" of his rivals' lawsuit is "to harass and damage Biasco's business," according to court documents.

Baldwin listed assets of $86.2 million and debts of $55.8 million when it sought bankruptcy court protection. "Our belief is that there's significant value in this company.

Attorneys for Bald win's unsecured creditors and its equity holders had objected to parts of the financing package. Mr. Hurley said GECC, which is owed about $40 million from Baldwin, has continued to work with the company, including recently providing $800,000 so the company could meet its payroll.
