American Environmental Energy Wins Civil Fraud Judgment in Excess of $10 Million

Business Wire
On August 4, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed
a complaint for civil fraud against Joseph R. Porche, Larry R.
Crowder and others in connection with sales of shares of common
stock of American Environmental Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). News
and media reports of this proceeding have inaccurately stated or
implied that the Company was involved in the fraud. In fact, the
Company and its shareholders were victims of the fraud when Porche
and Crowder, and their company, Kensington Resources, misdirected
millions of dollars from the Company to their own personal use. The
Company was not named in the SEC complaint, and none of the named
defendants in the case were ever officers or directors or employees
of the Company. The Company has voluntarily cooperated with the SEC
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the course of their
investigations.
Upon learning of the fraud, the Company filed a civil lawsuit
alleging fraud against Kensington Resources and both Crowder and
Porche, and has been awarded a judgment in excess of $10.0 million.
(American Environmental Energy, Inc. v. Kensington Resources et al,
Orange County Superior Court, Case No. 03-2009-120502, filed March
24, 2009.) The Company intends to pursue the defendants to satisfy
this judgment.
In response to recent media inquiries, Brent A Brewer, the
current CEO of the Company issued the following statement:
“The American Environmental Energy team did not choose to leave
our post once we learned of how the Kensington Resources
individuals had damaged our shareholders and our company, but
rather decided to accept the challenge of working at great deficit,
pursue those responsible for our harm, and to put American
Environmental Energy back on a forefront - by instilling true value
in the company with dedicated effort, personal sacrifice, and
pursuing high quality renewable energy opportunities. We look
forward to publicly releasing the fruits of those labors in the
near future.
It is the continuing focus of the board of directors and my
directive to forge on with this mission. Despite challenging
circumstances and misperceptions that may be held regarding what
happened, my team and I remain sincerely committed to generating
value to all shareholders.
During my tenure as a Marine Corps Officer and leader, I’ve
always fostered a belief in doing the right thing; working hard and
persevering against challenges, whatever they might be and whenever
they might arise. I do not intend to waiver from my commitment in
remaining by our shareholders.”
