i being a contractor have heard similiar stories from clients and like jmen said it does put a cloud over the industry.
I have been doing a large scale project on sleepers island over this summer, where the homeowner has been away for most of the summer and believe me there is nothing but work going on and if i found any of my guys doing anything remotely similiar to what you've outlined that would be it for them, fortunately I have a good group of guys that I do not worry about.
Good luck with you projects and if I can be of any assitance please feel free to contact me
