2018’s Bad Guys in Energy
Charles Sartain of Gray Reed & McGraw has posted a list of what he calls “2018’s parade of reprobates, rapscallions and others generally lacking in moral hygiene” in the world of energy law.
He reports on a “mendacious filing” in an SEC civil enforcement action against Chris Faulkner; seven defendants, nine co-conspirators and three unnamed “government officials” allegedly involved in the embezzlement of funds from Venezuela’s government-owned oil company; a former Chevron employee charged with conspiracy to commit many felonies; a former Texas state senator; the culprit in a garden variety wire fraud and money laundering case; and more.
