Midcoast builder who defrauded clients of $437K won’t serve prison time

A former midcoast builder must pay $385,000 in restitution for defrauding 57 of his clients, but he won’t serve any prison time for the theft, according to a sentencing handed down in Rockland on Thursday. The contractor, Malcolm Stewart, will serve three years of probation for the theft charges, but his prison sentence was suspended. He closed his Union-based business, Castle Builders, in September 2019, after leaving clients with unfinished projects for which he’d been paid $437,906. He also put 22 employees out of work. Justice Daniel Billings said he took many factors into consideration before deciding to suspend Stewart’s prison sentence, after state prosecutors recommended that he spend 30 months behind bars. One of the major contributing factors, Billings said, was Stewart’s end-stage kidney disease. He is expected to live only a few more years, according to his defense attorney, David Bobrow.
