Michael Allen Lynch

experienced fraudster and convicted felon
"Anyone who knows me well knows that contentment is something I have rarely felt in my life. This is how my life has always been… I want something; I do what it takes to get that something. Then when I get that something, I end up wanting something else, or something more. This personality trait is partially why I ended up in prison."
Mike Lynch - August 22, 2011

Public Warning

About Michael Allen Lynch

Mr. Lynch has a history of engaging in deceptive business practices, presenting himself as a custom homebuilder, remodel contractor, or entrepreneur with a background in professional paintball.

Since at least 2005, he has been involved in misleading business dealings in multiple states, affecting homeowners, subcontractors, vendors, and business partners. Following a period of incarceration in Colorado in 2009, he continued similar activities in Texas while on parole. His actions have consistently resulted in others suffering financial losses and defective construction.

Mr. Lynch is known for his persuasive communication skills and ability to create convincing narratives. However, his approach often involves overextending himself, mismanaging funds, and relying heavily on personal relationships to support his ventures, which can lead to serious complications for those involved.

His business practices typically involve collecting payments from homeowners without fully compensating subcontractors or vendors, leading to liens and project delays, unfulfilled promises, financial mismanagement, and incomplete, defective or abandoned projects. He has a pattern of relocating to new areas to restart similar operations.

If you come across Mr. Lynch in a business context, exercise caution and consider verifying his credentials and history before proceeding. Contacting relevant authorities or his probation officer may be advisable if concerns arise.

Criminal Timeline

Current Running home construction business while on probation Mike is currently involved in his latest home construction business venture in Garrett County, Maryland while on probation. Post-bankruptcy, he has acquired several properties through Knox 121, LLC, where he serves as Director of Operations and Development, alongside his wife, Angelica, who is listed as Creative Director. The company’s website suggests Angelica plays a leading role, though her background is primarily cosmetology, indicating Mike likely oversees operations. Their latest project is a development named McHenry Heights.
2023 Felony theft indictment #3 and probation Mike pleaded guilty to first-degree felony theft in Houston, TX involving over $300,000. With the assistance of an experienced attorney and a lenient district attorney, he secured a favorable plea deal that avoided additional prison time. His probation runs through 2033.
2021 Stormwater Management Review Inspector - TERMINATED Mike was employed by Garrett County but was terminated once his employer learned that he failed to disclose his criminal past.
2019 Bankruptcy Mike attempted to discharge debts from his business activities in Colorado and Texas through bankruptcy. However, a substantial portion of these debts was deemed non-dischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(4) due to the nature of his actions (i.e., fraud).
2015 - 2019 More construction defects and fraud Mike continued fraudulent and defective homebuilding operations in Texas under the business names LakeLife Homes LLC and Urban Lake Homes LLC for which he was later indicted.
2014 Michael Allen Builders fraud The following post was submitted by one of Mike’s victims in Katy Texas on the website pissedconsumer.com but has since been removed. “Michael Allen Builders, Houston TX (Michael Allen Lynch), ran out of money and time and incentive to complete our kitchen and family room remodel. Although we paid out all (actually more) than the 10% remaining which is saved for the end, we found out some of his sub contractors were not paid. We're left paying his sub contractors and paying new folks to finish a long list of unfinished work. We're also into week two past the agreed upon date of completion in our signed contract. This man is deceitful and dishonest. Do not hire him for any type of job.”
2009 - 2012 Felony theft indictment #2 and prison

Mike was sentenced to 10 years in Colorado for fraud while operating 9 One 5 Custom Homes but served less than 2.5 years, earning early release through participation in a volunteer forest firefighting brigade. During his incarceration, he married Angelica who he met in Houston before his sentence.

2007 - 2009 9 One 5 Custom Homes fraud Mike was contracted to build multiple homes in Breckenridge, Colorado, before taking on an ambitious Parade of Homes entry in Lakewood, Colorado. His failure to pay subcontractors, due to misappropriating funds, caused significant delays on the Breckenridge projects. Additionally, the projects suffered from defective workmanship, further impacting homeowners. Ultimately, Mike abandoned the jobs, leaving substantial work incomplete and numerous liens from unpaid subcontractors. An investigation by the Summit County District Attorney revealed that construction loan funds from Breckenridge homeowners were diverted to finance his Lakewood Parade of Homes project, as well as personal expenses such as ski resort passes, veterinary bills, piano lessons for his wife, and other misappropriations. Mike pleaded guilty to theft and, having committed this fraud while on probation for a prior fraud, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He also implicated his wife Katie who faced criminal and civil charges.
2005 303 Paintball, Inc. - Felony theft indictment #1 and probation The earliest known fraud scheme involving Mike resulted in a woman losing over $100,000 in an indoor paintball business venture. The project was dissolved due to reported “construction delays,” but not before Mike opened a credit card in her name without authorization, incurring over $800 in charges. He presented himself as a retired professional paintball player who had sold a previous company. His actions led to charges including theft, forgery, unauthorized use of a financial transaction device, and criminal impersonation, for which he was placed on probation. Additionally, Mike has a record of an arrest for domestic violence.
