Lucius Foster is facing up to 20 years in prison for allegedly ripping off over two dozen investors, taking more than $130,000 in an apparent housing scam in Los Angeles, The Daily Beast is reporting.
Jodie Foster‘s estranged dad was in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday, charged with 25 counts of grand theft and 10 counts of contracting without a license.
Mincing no words in his opening statement, Deputy City Attorney Dan Cocek said, “Mr. Foster is a liar and a cheat. He has had a scam going for years to steal money from people. A lot of people fell for it. He sounded so convincing.”
According to Cocek, the 89-year-old building contractor bilked each of his clients — who he found on CraigsList — out of a $5,000 down payment after he claimed he would build them low-cost modular homes for $85,000. He planned to make the three-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot homes out of metal cargo containers from China.
Foster is representing himself in court.
