The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged three interconnected oil and gas companies – two based in Texas – and its executives with fraudulently scheming to raise $11.7 million for drilling projects allegedly located in Kentucky and using investor money for booze, drugs, strippers and alimony payments to the CEO’s ex-wife.

“Lewis personally misappropriated at least $1.3 million of investor funds in addition to receiving a weekly salary of $2,500,” the SEC states in a 35-page complaint. “Lewis spent this $1.3 million via cash withdrawals and via debit cards linked to nearly all accounts, which he used on lavish personal expenditures, including jewelry, retail spending, dining and entertainment and strip club visits.

“Lewis also withdrew large amounts of cash from investor funds, wrote alimony checks to his ex-wife, and paid his personal credit cards and other personal bills,” the SEC complaint states. “Lewis also engaged in a ‘check-cashing practice’ where he sporadically wrote checks to at least three employees in amounts up to $3,500, but required the employees to cash them and bring him back the cash, which he pocketed for personal use.”


:facepalm: What an idiot.

I have a buddy who's an O&G operator and always has facebook pictures of him on a private jet, deep sea fishing, deer hunting in s.Texas, etc. I wonder if he's using the same business plan as these guys.

Man, what does a man have to do to get a job like that? That would be the The life, getting free trips and gifts in order to give business to a partiticular company. I’m just the man for that job since I’m not above being bribed.

Nah salesmen get to do that stuff. But their job sucks when the client isnt hunting fishing or at a titty bar.

Those people are never truly happy. Always stealing from peter to pay paul. Many times its a releaf when they get caught because its the only thing that breaks their turbulent shenanigans
