A Maryland man faces trial in a $9.1 million fraud case that is
shedding light on problems in a renewable energy credits program run by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Federal prosecutors accuse Rodney Hailey of Perry Hall of selling
renewable fuel credits even though his company, Clean Green Fuel LLC,
did not produce any renewable fuel. Instead, prosecutors say he pocketed
the money and bought Ferraris and other luxury cars, as well as
tractor-trailers, homes, jewelry and computers.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the case Monday in U.S.
District Court. If Hailey is convicted, prosecutors are seeking
forfeiture of the $9.1 million, including the cars, homes and other
items, of which nearly $3 million has been recovered, said Marcia
Murphy, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office.
