"Infamous People"

'Fall From Grace'

Sam Leccima was held guilty of fraud in the A&E's reality series 'Flip This House'. This show takes run down houses and fixes them in order for them to go on the market. It was all a hoax and his friends and family members were 'planted' on the show as potential home buyers. The home repairs were fake and just planted to look good on television. Leccima didn't deny the report, he did mention that the t.v. production films knew what he was doing. Leccima didn't have a real estate liscense because it was revoked in 2005, taking the case a step further. Leccima had reportedly taken $100,000 from Dan Ward, an Atlanta-area youth minister to invest in real estate but Leccima didn't do anything with the money and it still hasn't been returned. Leccima has now been taken off air and has nothing to do with A&E.
