The United States Attorney filed the “Government’s Motion to Admit Business Records Under Declarations of Custodian of Record Pursuant to 902 (11) and 803 (6)” in the Criminal Case against David Feuerborn and Thomas Jennings (Case 2:10-cr-00346-SJO: Document 53. Pages 234-239).  It was a busy weekend for me, because there were approximately 300 pages of exhibits attached to this Motion.  These exhibits give a clear picture of the fraud, and the extent of the fraud, that Feuerborn and Jennings perpetrated against ESS investors and others.  You won’t believe how much money went to friends, wives, decorators, cabinet manufacturers, etc.  It looks as if they used ESS money to buy items such as a Lexus and an RV as well.  I wanted to remain impartial, but I can’t help becoming extremely frustrated by the indisputable evidence that the U.S. Attorney’s office has compiled.

(Note: The personal information listed below was derived from the W-2 Forms published by the government as exhibits to the Motion.)

Let’s first look at Suzanne Jennings from Anaheim, CA.  She is the wife of Tom Jennings and for some reason she received $35,000 from ESS Environmental, Inc. in 2005 (Case 2:10-cr-00346-SJO: Document 53-4. Page 299).  I’d like some explanation of what she did for ESS to deserve that money.  I would also like an explanation as to why Suzanne and Tom purchased an RV that cost $62,143 with money diverted from ESS (Case 2:10-cr-00346-SJO: Document 53-4 and 53-5. Page 310 and Page 333 respectively).  There are also copies of checks written from “Ecologic” to Trinity Cabinetry by Tom Jennings for a new set of cabinets for their house.  If you don’t remember, Eco-Logic is the company that was purportedly building an oil sand machine.  They had ESS investors believe that they were paying the real Eco-Logic while they were actually diverting money into the fake “Ecologic” bank account they created so they could buy an RV and cabinets for their house (Case 2:10-cr-00346-SJO: Document 53-5. Pages 322-324).

Do you remember my blog entry that listed a company called Jewelry by Asa?  I didn’t know what the connection was.  (Note:  When I Googled the Lantana address David Feuerborn used for the "Cleansal" domain name "Jewelry by Asa" came up under the same address.)  Well, I found that connection buried within these exhibits.  Asa Kilander of Camarillo, CA was paid $28,000 dollars by ESS Environmental, Inc.  Somehow she is connected to Dave and Tom and the chemical scam (Case 2:10-cr-00346-SJO: Document 53-4. Page 300).  What if her “Swedish jewelry and clothing business” was a front company to hide ESS money?  What if there is hidden ESS money in Sweden?!?!  I find it odd that her website no longer exists. 

I am anxious to see the exhibits that will be filed in the Civil Case.  While the Criminal Case deals with tax evasion and tax fraud, the Civil Case deals directly with the chemical scam.  Once both cases make some more progress I think ESS investors will have a lot of information to sift through.
