Courthouse News ServiceA 67-year-old man and his 36-year-old sweetie bilked investors of millions of dollars for a bogus "multibillion-dollar nuclear reactor," that never existed and never will, the SEC says. It sued Donald Gillispie and Jennifer Ransom, top dogs at so-called Alternate Energy Holdings, in Federal Court.
Gillispie and Ransom raked in the bucks through "misleading statements about the viability of AEHI, which has no realistic possibility of building a multibillion-dollar nuclear reactor," the SEC says in its complaint. "AEHI has never had any revenue or product." (AEHI is Alternate Energy Holdings Inc.)
Gillispie, 67, is CEO of AEHI, and Ransom, 36, is its senior VP and "also has a personal relationship with Donald Gillispie and is the beneficiary of his IRA account," according to the complaint.
The SEC says the two drove up the price of AEHI stock through bogus and frequent press releases - more than 87 this year along.
