LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Default judgement was granted Tuesday in the case against a local roofing company.
Lexington Blue is accused of scamming more than 300 victims out of millions of dollars without completing any work.
The company filed for bankruptcy last June, two weeks after a court shut down its operations.
The company said in the filing it was overwhelmed by customer complaints and requests for refunds in 2025. It started laying off employees last February.
Last June, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed a motion in Fayette Circuit Court, which granted a temporary restraining order against Lexington Blue, ordering it to immediately cease operations and marketing.
Coleman launched an investigation into the company last year. His office said Lexington Blue took nearly $5 million in payments last year for more than 300 projects, most of which were not completed.
A class-action lawsuit was filed against the company at the end of April last year, just days after it closed its Louisville office citing more than two years of "persistent financial strain." The suit claims there may be more than 100 people who paid Lexington Blue for work that was never done.
Tuesday's ruling will clear the way for Coleman's office to start paying victims.
Lexington Blue and its affiliated companies are now also permanently banned from operating in Kentucky.
The judge in the case said the company violated consumer protection laws.
