LCG contractor alleges ex-CEO mismanaged $50 million
SUMMARY: Rigid Constructors’ owners accuse former CEO Cody Fortier of embezzlement, mismanagement, self-dealing, and financial misrepresentation, totaling over $50 million from 2021 to 2023. This misconduct coincides with the company securing flood prevention contracts under Fortier’s leadership. Fortier, who resigned in April 2024, disputes the allegations and claims breach of contract and unjust enrichment. A legal battle has ensued over disputed equipment and unpaid amounts. The case involves accusations of improper actions during Fortier’s tenure, including violations of public bid laws and project mismanagement, with both parties seeking legal remedies in ongoing court proceedings.
