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

AUTHOR: Smokinguntoo - (United States of America)

SUBMITTED: Friday, December 16, 2011

POSTED: Friday, 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.

On Money Laundering Charges

September 23rd, 2009 | by FortBendNow Staff | Published in News | 5 Comments

Sugar Land police have arrested Steven Lavine, 57, of Sugar Land, for multiple counts of felony theft and money laundering in a multi-million dollar scheme that victimized more than a dozen people.

Lavine

Lavine, the owner of THC Technologies in Sugar Land, was arrested Sept. 22, on charges stemming from a 33-count indictment handed down by the Fort Bend County Grand Jury. He is charged with 11 felony counts each of theft, misapplication of fiduciary/financial property and money laundering.

Detectives believe Lavine stole approximately $3 million dollars in cash from at least 13 victims over a four year period. Lavine is accused of operating an ongoing scheme of selling equipment and other property to companies that he did not deliver. The arrest was the result of a 17-month investigation by the Sugar Land Police Department.

Police say additional victims are being identified and more charges are expected to be filed. Lavine is currently being held in the Fort Bend County jail.

Anyone with information should call SLPD at 281-275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS (8477).
