Contractor Pleads Guilty After $120K Scam | Greensboro News

A retired homeowner in Alamance County lost nearly $120,000 after hiring contractor Danny Lynch to renovate her historic 1910 farmhouse—only to watch him vanish without finishing the work or returning her money. After months of frustration and legal battles, Lynch pleaded guilty to six felonies, was sentenced to 90 days in jail, and ordered to pay restitution—but Blankenship hasn’t seen a dime yet. She says he showed no remorse in court, and while the house is now complete, the emotional and financial scars remain. This case is part of a troubling pattern, with Lynch also facing charges in Guilford County for similar scams. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
