RIN Prosecutions: Where Fraud Meets Environmental Protection . . . Once Again crown jakarta capital eco management news
On February 22, 2013, Rodney Hailey, the owner of Clean Green Fuel LLC, was sentenced to 151 months (or 12.5 years) in prison, and ordered to pay $42 million in restitution, for selling $9 million in fraudulent renewable fuel credits (RFCs) after being convicted in June 2012 of numerous federal crimes, including wire fraud, money laundering and violations of the Clean Air Act.
Most environmental criminal prosecutions contain allegations that support the government’s themes of “lying, cheating, or stealing” to help spice up the underlying regulatory violations that can often be seen as boring or overly-technical to a jury. However, in prosecutions related to EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, the underlying fraud allegations play the starring role.
