According to the lawsuit, Carrasco cannot read or write and alleges that officials asked him to sign a blank phone screen, later transferring his signature to contracts he had not seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The suit claims he received two checks totaling $5,200, while the video featuring his home drew more than 22 million views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;In grave disregard for Don Rom\u00e1n\u2019s interests, and without his permission, the co-defendants used the measurements and photos taken of Don Rom\u00e1n\u2019s Casita to construct an exact copy of it inside the Jos\u00e9 Miguel Agrelot Coliseum of Puerto Rico,&#8221; the lawsuit states.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>A home built by hand<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Carrasco said he designed the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home after his wife wanted to move back to Humacao. &#8220;We went block by block. That takes time,&#8221; he told the Associated Press, recalling how his wife even helped in the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added that the wraparound porch, where he often invited friends to &#8220;pull up a chair&#8221; and talk, was a central part of his vision for the home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>What&#8217;s next<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The lawsuit seeks at least $1 million in damages.
