Members of a northern Utah polygamous group have admitted in federal court to creating false records in their biodiesel company to obtain more than a half-billion dollars in renewable fuel tax credits.
Washakie Renewable Energy CEO Jacob Kingston, Washakie Chief Financial Officer Isaiah Kingston, Rachel Kingston, the company's special projects manager, and Jacob Kingston's wife, Sally Kingston, the compliance manager, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to multiple charges.
The charges include mail fraud, filing false claims, money laundering, destroying records and witness tampering.
