Hes not a good mechanic. Wish you didn't try and make him seem like this mechanical wizard. No mechanic knows everything you need to know. Also if he's buying cheap parts from Mexico then he's a scumbag.
ОтветитьI work in solar, and was offered some of those trailers in an auction. I didn't know the story behind them had so much intrigue.
I didn't participate in the auction. I needed trailer-mounted solar modules, but I was building the modules, not buying them. The diesel generator was just dead weight I'd need to get rid of. I ended up building my own trailers, and they are in my backyard to this day.
Greed will make a lot of people overlook obvious hints. For the investors, the stars were aligning and I could see being duped simply because your returns were coming in. The problem is that all the people about midway through were just fueled by greed and wanted this to be good because it's free cash.
ОтветитьSo typical, the guy gets 30 years and the female partner who is 100% as guilty gets 11 years. Why?
ОтветитьThe real scam that caused all this? The Green Power Incentive.
ОтветитьPauletta and his brother should have shared the same 30 year stretch.
ОтветитьInvestors, companies, didn't care because they enjoyed a great tax evasion by 《helping》.
As they have done and will continue doing!!
Take some of that money and pay some engineers to make a good product and watch the problems vanish naturally....but common sense is lost on some people.
Ответить"Im not smart enough to run a scam like this!" Yes dude, thats why you got caught and are in court rn!
ОтветитьSee, they got popped because uncle sam wasnt getting his cut of the grift. Pay taxes and they dont give a shit.
Ответитьhe even told tjem with the name of the company, that these solar cells wont earn a single dolar...
Solar eclipse😂😂😂 great name for company,that needs solar rays to make money
I am allways suprised how people that scamm 100s of Millions $$$, can not find a guy, a fall guy, that would sighn all the documents,was owner of a company on paper, pay him 10% of the funds,they earn....
so when police comes,the fall guy goes to prison,and you get away...
guess they are too greedy to that....
where I live, you can find guys that will manage a company (on papers) for 1000$/month....so when police comes,he is the one responsible....
usually homeless and drug addicts are the ones that sighn those "deals"....
and usually they dont get more that 5 years in prison, as even the judge knows they are beeing exploited...
These investors were complicit in this fraud,with plausible deniability.Theycould say that they were just taken.Maybe the same scenario in the Sam Bankman scam applies.If he got 30 yrs,wonder what’s going to come down for Sam,the Left’s darling.
ОтветитьOf course you'd turn yourself in when your company sucks so much that more than a hundred feds raid you.
ОтветитьGreen energy is a scam. That's why the government has to bribe companies to use it. Jeff scammed people that wanted to be scammed for money that was already stolen to begin with.
I really don't see what he did wrong.
Criminal trifecta. Regular man scammer, corporate welfare scammer and federal govt scammer. Thanks Obama 😂
Notice how no one from the corporations were even arrested. Hmmmm, I wonder why... They were just as guilty.
It's easy to leave the country. Fill a boat with fuel, sail off into the sunset lol
I just love documentaries about people commiting fraud for some reason.
Ответитьthe funny part, is that the entire solar industry is 1 giant unsustainable scam.
Ответитьsame thing happening in the uk rn
ОтветитьWhat an idiot if he got a company to design and make the trailers he would be a billionaire legit instead he continued with the scam rather than take a step back and make somthing of it I no I would have a would have got the trailers made and be rich as fuck
ОтветитьBro, I could build that shit. Granted I love DIY and solar projects, but still
ОтветитьIt's like this guy was just determined to take something legitimate and turn it into a scam. Everything started off extremely legitimate and could have been great if he just wasn't trying to scam people. 🤦🏿
ОтветитьNASCAR fan. This story was nuts...
Ответитьthe part of them rushing for a passport says alot of just how Americanized ignorant they truly were. To establish offshore accounts long ago at inception level with assitance would have been a brighter more well planned business model, or to at least have traveled to another country to have better footing if the shit hit the fan this is classic American Greed
Ответитьwell on paaaaper it was a good ideeeaaa....
ОтветитьFraud and solar power go together like bullets and guns.
ОтветитьSo why didn't it work?
Ответить"Distribution", not "Disruption". What a gigantic error to make when the company calls themselves "Pure Power Distribution".

ОтветитьI admire the energy these scammers have. I don't even have the energy to be a criminal.
ОтветитьI've done what I loved, and worked my ass off for my entire life. I designed the best lawnmower in the world. Still looking for investors - and gas mowers are about to be banned in CA & other areas.
ОтветитьEvery time I go grocery shopping, I see one of these portable things with a bunch of solar panels, I think it's for security cameras or something.
He could have legitimately made millions of dollars and be seen as a genius......
Well, "green energy" as a whole is a con to get tax dollars so... what's new? Save the world. With what? Acid rain, open pit mines and child labor? Please.
ОтветитьCould have easily spent the money to get 5 specialist in solar energy and mechanical designs and would have easily become a legitimate billionaire.
ОтветитьJoe Biden is just as genuine, just as intelligent, just as moral, and just as innocent as this guy. He's been running this sort of scheme for decades, and is doing it right now with Ukraine and his fake businesses.
But, this guy goes to jail for 30 years. And Joe Biden is president.
This made me laugh who hands a goober like that a billion.
Ответить150k for a trailer and batteries?
I could make one for five grand plus cost of trailer, so maybe 15k?
Shows how stupid the rich can be. Why drags around a trailer and batteries when you can put solar in the roof of trailers?
All this guy had to do was make them and he could have been rich.
Guy looks like a meth addict. Just bolted some panels on a hundred dollar trailer and a battery. Crazy. That's insane.
ОтветитьLol, I grew up in Martinez.
ОтветитьImagine being a 100% made man because you had some basic shit in your garage and by pure chance knew a guy then you fumble the bag like this. This man was forced into being a billionaire and just wouldn't stand for it.
ОтветитьHe was set up for total success, legitimate and perfectly reasonable, but stupidly didn't get a qualified engineer to help with the design for the final product. What an idiot.
ОтветитьFor me I just had to look at the trailer. Judging by the number of panels each trailer had, I'd guesstimate that on a good day that can produce around 1.5 kW at 100 percent efficiency. With that we can power up a small room air conditioner. But at the regular efficiency of 15 percent? Probably charge our cell phone. Charge an EV? Around 70 of dem trailers. So just by looking at the number of panels, using Google, and some math it looked like it wouldn't work.
ОтветитьOba:ma is a cro:ok too so it doesn't surprise me he became a part of the crime.
ОтветитьI grew up in Martinez and was friends with Jeffs son. My dad reflects on how he always knew jeff was a scam artist well before all of this happened
ОтветитьJeff sucks
ОтветитьWhy would Jeff not dump some money to pay an expert to get a working product going, and then get the man power to run an assembly line to build them?!! He had a golden goose and he stuck his little weiner down it’s throat and choked it to death.! It pisses me off.
ОтветитьYou know what's funny is I did grow up in a trailer park, my best friend's father was a former Hell's Angel, and one day he pulled out a handgun from under the seat of his car to show us. :D
