Fraud

Joe Peeples was a Texan businessman who, along with Yaacov Meridor and a Romanian expatriate, devised a scheme to sell a theoretically feasible but practically impossible solar energy system to the Hunt brothers of Texas for $2 million. Peeples was unable to return the $2 million to the Hunts and was subsequently jailed for fraud.1
