The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed charges against Donald Watkins and his companies, Watkins Pencor and Masada Resource Group, for fraud. Watkins supposedly lied to investors by telling them that their funds would be used to help develop waste-to-energy (WTE) projects and that Waste Management was considering his companies in a multibillion-dollar transaction. Instead of using the money for the WTE projects, Watkins spent the funds on his girlfriend and personal expenses, such as alimony, late taxes and credit card bills.
