Nancy Pelosi’s son has been connected to five companies probed by federal agencies, according to a Daily Mail investigation.
A paper trail has linked Paul Pelosi Jr. to “a host of fraudsters, rule-breakers, and convicted criminals”.
The 52-year-old had joined the board of a biofuel company that defrauded investors, and whose CEO “was convicted after bribing Georgia officials”. He was also the president of an environmental investment firm that ended up being a front for two convicted fraudsters.
Pelosi Jr. received millions of shares after joining a lithium mining company, which was reportedly “issued as part of a massive $164 million fraud”. He became vice president of a company previously involved in an investigation of scam calls targeting senior citizens.
Other links include “business ties with a man accused by the Department of Justice of running a fake UN charity that stole investors’ money” and a company testing “drugs on people without FDA authorization”.
Though he has been connected to criminals and multiple fraud companies, Pelosi Jr. has never been charged or investigated.
After he became president of an environmental investment company called Natural Blue Resources, it was revealed by a Securities and Exchange Commission that the company was controlled by criminals. They used Pelosi Jr. and others as a front to “personally profit from the company without disclosing their past brushes with the law to investors”.
In 2013 Pelosi Jr. worked as Vice President of a biofuel company, FOGFuels. One month before his involvement, the SEC announced that it had filed charges against the company and its founder, Paul Marshall.
Marshall reportedly “stole $3 million from mostly elderly investors in FOGFuels and another of his companies”. FOGFuels was dissolved at the end of 2015.
Pelosi Jr. had joined Oroplata Resources, a lithium mining company, as a Senior Advisor in 2016. One month before that, the company “was accused of ‘breaching its fiduciary responsibility’ and ‘fraudulently’ issuing $26 million of shares without the approval of the board of directors”.
Though he had bought shares from the company, Pelosi Jr. was not named in the criminal case or the Nevada civil case involving Oroplata.
