There was definitely no corporate structure/LLC when they performed the improvements on this particular Tenafly home though. Whatever... we'll see how it all pans out.

I agree their personal assets may be protected if their company is a corporate structure or an LLC. Then they can declare the company bankrupt then the other party is left suing a company with no assets.

I hear ya...maybe yes; maybe no, but def still in their best interest to stay way under the radar now. We shall see...only time will tell what will ultimately happen to them. I highly doubt that they will be given any amnesty by the courts...this is just my opinion though.

Well this is true because it's paid by the network, but they should be keeping anything lavish personally that they do or own very very low key.

Maybe I could see that about the HGTV trip, but he and his cousin are constantly tweeting (with pictures) about their homes and other assets. That is what is stupid; they should be keeping their assets way out of sight/out of public eye.

Yes...I certainly know that if I was in his predicament, I would not be advertising any of my luxurious assets. Stupid move.

Really stupid.

Looks like a pretty cushy life for someone with bad financial problems. The poor girl in that pic next to him looks like she is literally going to vomit. Is it because of the plane or him? :(

Anthony Carrino has plenty of assets himself: owns 2 condos in JC (rents one and lives in the other) and several expensive cars and motorcycles. They are not Alfonso Carrino's assets.

I'm wondering if the older Carrino is involved in all this. I believe it's his company and most of the assets are his, not his son's.

Yup..There is no way they will be able to swindle themselves out of this one by filing for bankruptcy. Their assets and earnings are way too great and open/publicized for bankruptcy . There is nothing they can hide this so they will never be granted by any judge bankruptcy/discharge of any portion of this huge settlement against them.

I don't think it's that unusual: 50 Cent filed in July after a lawsuit.

First, it seems very strange that they are personally on the hook for the suit. Incorporation ought to protect them personally (that's the point of incorporating). It's possible they were not incorporated when they did that job, I couldn't tell from the article. Seems odd though.

Second, declaring bankruptcy after losing the case is obviously shenanigans, designed to avoid paying (or at least delay payment) on that judgment for as long as possible.

I have my doubts it will work out as planned, since the court will go over their finances with fine-toothed combs, and I'm pretty sure this type of judgment cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy.

The co-hosts of HGTV?s ?Kitchen Cousins? home improvement show filed for personal bankruptcy last week after an unfavorable ruling was issued against them alleging they did a shoddy renovation on a home once owned by former New York Yankee Don Mattingly.

John Colaneri, of Ramsey, and Anthony Carrino, filed separately in Newark Aug. 4 after they lost an $860,000 award in favor of homeowners Robert and Peng Avery, NorthJersey.com reported.

The Averys sued Colaneri, Carrino, and Carrino?s Brunelleschi Construction for breach of contract, fraud, and other wrongdoing related to the alleged renovation, the report states.
