Texas Federal Judge Orders Two Oil and Gas Companies to Pay $36.4 Million to the SEC
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
A Texas federal judge has entered an award totaling $36.4 million against two California oil and gas companies, their owner, and two of his sales associates relating to an SEC lawsuit filed in 2015.
According to the SEC, Team Resources, Fossil Energy, their owner Kevin A. Boyles and his alleged sales associates, John Olivia and Michael Eppy, deceived investors into buying interests in their oil and gas limited partnerships when they knew the subject fields had been depleted by other oil companies and few commercially recoverable hydrocarbons remained. Mr. Boyles used his sales associates to solicit investors by touting fantastic production projects, which turned out to be false.
Moreover, the defendants took in more than $33 million in investments from roughly 475 investors by fraudulently marketing their partnership interests.
