Following his
conviction at trial on charges to defraud the EPA and IRS,
David Dunham, who had ownership interests in Smarter Fuel LLC and Greenworks Holdings LLC, was sentenced to
seven years in prison and ordered to pay restitution of
$10.21 million. Dunham fraudulently applied for, received, and sold over $50 million in EPA, IRA, and USDA credits and payments for producing biofuels that he, in fact, did not produce and, in many instances, had never possessed in the first place.
