On January 3, 2018, Laurence Wainer c/o Blow and Drive Interlock Corp initiated a Small Claims lawsuit again Ethics SCS Inc, a corporation created by Jose Maria 'Chille' DeCastro. Docmentation in this case lists Jose DeCasatro as Chille DeCastro, Ethics SCS Inc and Coded Friends. A trial date of 8/23/2018 was set.
The claim was Ethics SCS Inc (Chille) owed Laurence Wainer $4,999 for a video they commissioned Ethics SCS Inc to do that was never delivered. At the time of the court filing, they claim they had paid Mr. DeCastro $6,000 for the video and had only been refunded $1,000. (See 4/26/18 Plaintiff's Claim and ORDER to Go to Small Claims Court).
On August 23, 2018, after a Non-Jury Trial, the Court ruled in favor of the Paintiff and Jose DeCastro was ordered to pay $3,999 + $245 in Court costs for a total of $4,244. Mr. DeCastro appealed the decision on October 16, 2018, and on November 19 a Trial De Novo resulted in the decision being upheld, with the only change apparently a reduction in cost from $245 to $185 for a total of $4,184.
Interesting Hubilu Connection
On the Proof of Service by Substituted Service, page 2, filed on May 30th, a quote attributed to David Behrend, CEO of Hubilu, states that Mr. DeCastro "...only work(s) here one day a month."
A very unusual work schedule for the Vice President of a Marketing Department.
