This has been churning in the back of my mind for awhile and I think I have another explanation for the big increase in work.

Maybe Lennar discovered the fraud and decided to get even with Veemac for the money they had already lost. They get Veemac to build a lot of houses and then not pay them. They offer to pay the workmen workmen wages and not go public about the fraud. They figure Veemac isn't dumb enough to go public either. Lennar gets part of the defrauded money back by getting framing work done at cost, and Veemac is taught a harsh lesson about messing with the big boys.

Unfortunately Veemac WAS dumb enough to go public. Now Lennar has some (more) serious bad publicity and they are in big trouble for their revenge. Veemac was going to go down anyways but now they are going to drag Lennar down too.

Pretty smart of the Veemac management if this is in fact what happened. Also remarkably dumb of Lennar's management, but par for the course.
