the victim of my offenses shall be ordered pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A.

b. I understand that, ifl am not a United States citizen, I may be removed from the
United States, denied citizenship, and denied admission to the United States in the future.

3. I know that the sentencing procedures in this case and the ultimate sentence will
be determined pursuant to I8 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and that the Court must consider, but is not
bound by, the United States Sentencing Guidelines, in determining my sentence. I have discussed
these procedures with my attorney. I also know that the final calculation of my sentence by the
Court may differ from any calculation the United States, my attorney, or I may have made, and I
will not be able to withdraw my plea if this occurs. However, because my plea of guilty is being
entered pursuant to Rule I l(c)(I)(C), as explained below, I know that I will be able to withdraw
my plea if the Court does not accept the terms of this agreement.

4. I stipulate to the following United States Sentencing Guidelines calculation, and

understand that this stipulation is not binding on the Court:

Base offense level per§ 2Sl.l(a)(l) and§ 2Bl.l(a)(l) and§ 2Bl.l(b)(l)(P) (intended 37
fraud loss more than $550 million):

§ 2Sl.l(b)(2)(B):
Two-level enhancement for sophisticated means per§ 2Bl.l(b)(IO)(C): +2
Two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice enhancement per § 3C I. I : +2

I reserve the right to argue as to acceptance of responsibility per § 3El .1 and role in the
offense per§ 3B I. I.

5. I know that I can be represented by an attorney at every stage of the proceeding,

and I know that ifl cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to represent me.

4
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 5 of 17

6. I know that I have a right to plead "Not Guilty" or maintain my earlier plea of

i. If I were to be convicted, I could appeal, and if! could not afford to appeal, the
United States would pay the costs of the appeal, including the services of appointed counsel.

8. If! plead guilty, I will not have a trial of any kind.

9. I know that 18 U.S.C. § 3742(c)(l) sets forth the circumstances under which I
may appeal my sentence. However, fully understanding my right to appeal my sentence, and in
consideration of the concessions and/or commitments made by the United States in this plea
agreement, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive my right to appeal as set forth in
paragraph 12 below.

I 0. I know that under a plea of guilty the judge may ask me questions under oath
about the offense. The questions, if asked on the record and in the presence of counsel, must be
answered truthfully and, if! give false answers, I can be prosecuted for pe1jury.

11. I stipulate and agree that the following facts accurately describe my conduct.
These facts provide a basis for the Court to accept my guilty plea:

At all times relevant to the charges in the indictment I was employed at Washakie
Renewable Energy ("WRE") or United Fuels Supply ("UFS"), which was its sister company. At
all relevant times, I worked in roles and on tasks assigned by Jacob Kingston, including working
as a Project Manager. I was not involved in or privy to every aspect ofWRE/UFS in my role as

5
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 6 of 17

Project Manager. I was not present as a project manager for the entirety of the period alleged in
the Second Superseding Indictment, in part because I was removed from managing projects for a
time by Jacob Kingston due to health concerns and because I realized we were unlawfully
claiming false tax credits. At all times during my employment at WRE/UFS and at all relevant
times during the indictment when I was performing any task relevant to WRE/UFS I did so at the
direction of and with the full knowledge of at least Jacob Kingston. At times, I also coordinated
with Isaiah Kingston and Sally Kingston, who also worked for WRE/UFS. I agreed with Jacob
Kingston, Isaiah Kingston, and Sally Kingston, and others, to prepare fake paperwork and cycle
money to suppott fraudulent claims for tax refunds.

In my role as Project Manager at WRE/UFS, I was tasked with working with customers,
partners, and toll processors of WRE/UFS. I was responsible for creating invoices pe1taining to
various projects as needed. I was also responsible for sending wires to vendors and others.

In the spring of201 l, I met with Frank DiBenedetto and Michelle Helms from the
company Grease Depot in Clearwater, Florida. I managed a project with them as a toll processor
for WRE/UFS. I was at the processing facility of Grease Depot and saw their final product which
was a solid-not a liquid. I knew that their product was a solid and was waste and that they were
paying to burn at a waste to energy facility. I assisted in the creation of back-dated paperwork for
Grease Depot including toll processing agreements, invoices and other documents for the years
2009, 2010, and 201 I. I knew that WRE/UFS did not have any business dealings with Grease
Depot, Michelle Helms, or Frank Dibenedetto during the years 2009, 20 l 0, or early 2011. I knew
that Grease Depot could not have toll processed product of any kind on behalf ofWRE/UFS
during 2009, 2010, or early 2011. I also created false and backdated paperwork falsely claiming
that this solid was "heating oil," "Alternative Fuel 100," "flex fuel" or "flex fuel plus diesel fuel
additive" which was "toll processed" by Grease Depot on behalf of Washakie, but was in fact
just garbage. I knew that WRE was claiming tax credits on this material. Jacob Kingston and
Isaiah Kingston also knew that this product was garbage.

During my employment at WRE/UFS, I worked on a project for purchasing Viscon. This

Viscon project was Levon Termendzhyan's idea. Jacob Kingston told me that this project was
just a way for Tennendzhyan to get his money from WRE/UFS. The price of the Viscon product
was inflated and overpriced. The invoices were meant to make it appear as though there were a
legitimate business reason for WRE/UFS to be sending money to Tennendzhyan's entity. In fact,
the funds sent over were Termendzhyan's share of the proceeds from the filing of false claims
for fuel tax credits. I also know that Levon Termendzhyan brought a lawsuit related to this
Viscon project, to ensure he received his part of the tax credit.

I engaged in a number of projects with Dery! Leon of SCM/Catan, and I knew some of
them were fraudulent, including the creation of fake invoices fraudulently claiming that WRE
sold B99 to SCM and bought B 100 from Catan. I created fake invoices to create documentation
to back up the claims for the tax credit. I also sent wires to Leon, to or from his companies SCM
and Catan, to create the appearance that true business transactions were occurring; Isaiah
Kingston would verify these wires because two people were required to send out the wire
transfers. I knew that the money being wired between SCM and Catan involved funds received
from filing false tax claims. I worked on these false invoices with the help of Leon and at the

6
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 7 of 17

direction of Jacob Kingston. I knew that the numbers on these invoices were all false and
fabricated. I knew that there was not real biodiesel being created, blended, or sold, and so I knew
we did not qualify for the tax credits we were claiming. I agreed with Jacob Kingston and Isaiah
Kingston to cycle money that I knew to be from fraudulent tax refunds in order to create the
appearance that fuel was being bought and sold.

While working on the Leon project I would not send the information through email.
Instead, the false invoices were kept on a thumb drive or faxed. On one occasion, I visited Leon
in Miami, Florida and hand delivered a thumb drive with the false invoices because I knew that
this project was illegal and I wanted to make sure it could not be intercepted. This project with
Leon lasted at least several months.

In February 2016, I was aware that P.K. at WRE received a phone call from an individual
who used the pseudonym "Mr. Green" and was told that WRE/UFS was going to be "raided"
soon. After this phone call was received, Jacob Kingston decided that hard drives would be
removed. Jacob Kingston also directed me to remove documents from my office and that of his
assistant. I personally took files from the cabinets in my office and a neighboring office of an ex-
employee, and placed them into several boxes. I took the boxes out of the WRE/UFS offices and
put them in my car and took them home. These files which were removed prior to any law
enforcement warrants, were eventually taken up to the WRE plant in Plymouth, Utah. I know
that the hard drive in my computer was changed; Jacob Kingston told me it was best that my
hard drive was removed. These files, which were removed prior to any law enforcement
warrants, were eventually taken up to the WRE plant in Plymouth, Utah.

I knew that an individual, code-named "Commissioner Gordon," who I believed to be a

high level DOJ official, was going to help WRE/UFS with its legal troubles. I recall
communicating with the person I thought was Commissioner Gordon through burner phones that
Jacob Kingston directed me to buy and use.

Additionally, during my employment at WRE/UFS, I created multiple wire transfer

requests to accounts in Turkey at the direction of Jacob Kingston, and verified by Isaiah
Kingston. Specifically, I participated in creating a December 14, 2015 $2, 100,000 wire from
Washakie Renewable Energy to Jacob Kingston's account at Garanti Bank, Turkey and a
December 28, 2015, $6,900,000 wire from Washakie Renewable Energy to Jacob Kingston's
account at Garanti Battle, Turkey, as charged in Counts 40 and 41. I knew that the money used
for these wires involved funds received from filing false claims for fuel tax credits.

12. The only terms and conditions pertaining to this plea agreement between me and
the United States are as follows:

a. Guilty Plea. I will plead guilty to Counts 1, 23, 40, 41, and 45 are of the Second
Superseding Indictment.

b. Stipulated Sentence. Pursuant to Rule 1 l(c)(l)(C) of the Federal Rules of

7
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 8 of 17

(1) I understand that this agreement, including my plea, the agreed upon
maximum sentence, and all other terms referenced herein, are subject to the approval of, and
acceptance by the Comt. I further understand that the Court will likely order the preparation of a
Presentence Report to assist in the determination of whether this plea and the agreement are
appropriate, and l agree to fully cooperate in the preparation of the Presentence Report.

(2) If, after receiving all relevant information, the Court rejects the plea
agreement and determines that a sentence higher than the agreed upon sentence of no more than
15 years (180 months) will be imposed, l will have the right to withdraw the plea of guilty and
the terms of this agreement will become null and void. Likewise, ifthe Court rejects the plea
agreement, I understand that the United States will have the right to move to vacate this
agreement, and all terms of this agreement will become null and void.

c. Relevant Conduct. l understand and agree that the Presentence Report may
include descriptions of conduct I engaged in which either was not charged against me, will not
be pleaded to by me, or both. I understand and agree that the Court will take these facts into
consideration in determining the reasonableness of the stipulated sentence. I agree and stipulate
that the intended loss of my conduct was $1,166,792,650 and that the actual loss caused by my
conduct was $51 l ,842,773.

d. Appeal Waiver.

(I) Fully understanding my limited right to appeal my sentence, as explained

above in paragraph , and in consideration of the concessions and/or commitments made by the
United States in this plea agreement, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive my right to
appeal any sentence imposed upon me, except that I do not waive the right to appeal as set forth
in l 8 U.S.C. § 3742(c)(I ), which states that I may not file a notice of appeal unless the sentence
imposed is greater than the sentence set forth in this agreement.

(2) I also knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive my right to challenge

my sentence, unless the sentence imposed is greater than the sentence set forth in this agreement,
in any collateral review motion, writ or other procedure, including but not limited to a motion
brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, except on the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel.

(3) l understand that this waiver of my appeal and collateral review rights
concerning my sentence shall not affect the United States' right to appeal my sentence pursuant
to 18 U.S.C. § 3742(c)(2) and§ 3742(b)(l) and (2).

(4) I further understand and agree that the word "sentence" appearing
throughout this waiver provision is being used broadly and applies to all aspects of the Court's
sentencing authority, including, but not limited to: (I) sentencing determinations; (2) the
imposition of imprisonment, fines, supervised release, probation, and any specific terms and
conditions thereof; and (3) any orders of restitution.

e. Prcsentence Report and Financial Information. I agree to provide truthful and

complete information, including financial information, as requested by the probation office for
the preparation of my presentence report and for determination of the conditions of my

8
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 9 of 17

supervised release. I also consent to allowing the United States Attorney's Office to run a credit
check on me. I consent to being placed on the Treasury Offset Program and State Finder.

f. Restitution.

(I) I agree that I am subject to mandatory restitution because my case falls

within the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3663A(a)(l) and (c)(l) based on Count 1 of the Second
Superseding Indictment, to which I am pleading guilty. My attorney has explained what
mandatory restitution means.

(2) Under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A(a)(3), I agree to pay restitution to the Internal

Revenue Service, in the amount of $511,842,773, due at the time of sentencing. I agree that this
total amount of restitution reflected in this agreement results from my fraudulent conduct. I
agree to pay this specific restitution, joint and several with any codefendants, and agree that this
amount should not be reduced or increased through apportionment of liability under 18 U.S.C. §
3664(h).

(3) I agree to the following additional provisions regarding restitution:

i. I agree that restitution is due and payable immediately after the judgment
is entered and is subject to immediate enforcement, in full, by the United
States. If the Court imposes a schedule of payments, I agree that the
schedule of payments is a schedule of the minimum payment due, and that
the payment schedule does not prohibit or limit the methods by which the
United States may immediately enforce the judgment in full. The IRS will
use the amount of restitution ordered as the basis for a civil assessment
under 26 U.S.C. § 620 I (a)(4). I do not have the right to challenge the
amount of this restitution-based assessment. See 26 U.S.C. §
620 !(a)(4)(C). Neither the existence of a restitution payment schedule nor
my timely payment of restitution according to that schedule will preclude
the IRS from immediately collecting the full amount of the restitution-
based assessment.

ii. I am entitled to receive credit for restitution paid pursuant to this plea
agreement against those assessed civil tax liabilities due and owing for the
same periods for which restitution was ordered. I understand and agree
that the plea agreement does not resolve my civil tax liabilities, that the
IRS may seek additional taxes, interest and penalties from me relating to
the conduct covered by this plea agreement and for conduct relating to
another time period, and that satisfaction of the restitution debt does not
settle, satisfy, or compromise my obligation to pay any remaining civil tax
liability. I authorize release of information to the IRS for purposes of
making the civil tax and restitution based assessments.

n1. I understands that I am not entitled to credit with the IRS for any payment
until the payment is received by the IRS.

9
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 10 of 17

1v. If full payment cannot be made immediately, I agree to make a complete

and accurate financial disclosure to the IRS on forms prescribed by the
IRS (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 433-A and Form 433-B, as
appropriate), and to disclose to the IRS any and all additional financial
information and financial statements provided to the probation office. I
also agree to provide the above-described information to the probation
office.

v. If I make a payment of the restitution agreed to above prior to sentencing,

the payment will be applied as a credit against the restitution ordered.

(4) I understand that the amount of restitution and the schedule of payments
will be determined as a part of the sentencing proceedings in accordance with the provisions of
18 U.S.C. § 3664. I agree to pay all restitution as ordered by the Court. I agree thatthe payment
and enforcement of my restitution order is governed by 18 U.S.C. § 3664, and my lawyer has
explained the consequences of an order of restitution.

(5) I understand and agree that payment of any restitution owed, pursuant to
the schedule set by the Court at sentencing, should be a condition of any term of probation or
supervised release imposed upon me. I know that ifl fail to pay restitution as ordered, the failure
can be considered a violation of probation or supervised release and, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
3614, the Court can resentence me to any sentence which might originally have been imposed in
my case.

(6) I agree to the following provisions regarding payment of restihition:

1. I agree to send all payments made pursuant to the court's restitution order
to the Clerk of the Court at the following address:

Clerk of the Court

351 SW Temple
Salt Lake City, UT 84101

n. With each payment to the Clerk of the Court made pursuant to the District
Court's restitution order, I will provide the following information:

I. My name and Social Security number;

2. The District Court and the docket number assigned to this case;

3. Tax year(s) or period(s) for which restitution has been ordered; and

4. A statement that the payment is being submitted pursuant to the

District Court's restitution order.

iii. I agree to include a request that the Clerk of the Court send the
information, along with my payments, to the IRS address below:

IO

1v. I also agree to send a notice of any payments made pursuant to this
agreement, including the information listed in the previous paragraph, to
the IRS at the following address:

333 W. Pershing Ave.
Kansas City, MO 64108

g. Waiver of Interest. The United States agrees to recommend that the Comt waive
interest for fines and restitution assessed against me.

h. Forfeiture.

(I) I agree to forfeit my interest in all property acquired from or traceable to

my offenses and all property that was used to facilitate my offenses, including, but not limited to,
the following specific property:

The assets listed in Exhibit A.

(2) I have no information about the money transferred by Washakie or UFS to

Order-related entities including the pmpose or legitimacy of the transfers. I will not contest the
United States' tracing of proceeds of the mail fraud scheme and/or proceeds involved in the
money laundering schemes from Washakie or UFS to the properties listed in Exhibit A.

(3) I agree to a forfeihll'e MONEY JUDGlvlENT of$511,842,773. This

amount is equal to the value of any property, real or personal, constituting or derived from
proceeds traceable to the mail fraud conspiracy and not available for forfeitme as a result of any
act or omission of the defendant(s) for one or more of the reasons listed in 21 U.S.C. § 853(p). 1
Additionally, I agree to a forfeiture MONEY JUDGMENT of at least $511,842,773, which is
equal to the value of all propetty involved in the money laundering conspiracy and not available
for forfeiture for one or more of the reasons listed in 21 U.S.C. § 853(p) as a result of any act or
omission of the defendant(s). The money judgments will run concurrently.

(4) I acknowledge that to the extent proceeds of the mail fraud scheme
charged in count one or prope1ty involved in the money laundering counts in this agreement can
be traced to the propetty covered by this agreement, my interest in that prope1ty is subject to

1 The government will move to partially satisfy the forfeiture money judgment to the extent of
the value it obtains, after deducting costs, from successfully forfeiting specific assets.

11
 Case 2:18-cr-00365-JNP-BCW Document 442 Filed 07/18/19 Page 12 of 17

forfeiture because it represents the proceeds of illegal conduct or helped facilitate illegal conduct.

(5) I agree that all such prope1ty may be forfeited in either an administrative,
civil and/or criminal judicial proceeding. I agree that I will not make a claim to the propetty or
otherwise oppose forfeiture in any such proceedings, and I will not help anyone else do so. If I
have already made such a claim, I hereby withdraw it. I further agree that I will sign any
necessary documents to ensure that clear title to the forfeited assets passes to the United States,
and that I will testify trnthfully in any judicial forfeiture proceeding. In addition, I agree that I
will not make any claim to propetty forfeited by any other defendant in this case.

the seizure and forfeiture of the property covered by this agreement.

that is connected to, the proceeds of, or involved in the charges in the indictment. For real
propetty that is connected to, the proceeds of, or involved in the charges in the indictment, but is
outside the jurisdiction of the court, I agree to identify to the United States Attorney's Office
such properties within thitty days of signing this agreement; to sell those properties within six

applied to reduce the amount the defendant owes on the restitution order. The defendant fmther
understands that MLARS retains the ultimate discretion whether to grant or deny any restoration
request. Upon approval of the restoration request, payments made on the forfeiture money
judgment will also satisfy the restitution order to the extent of such payments. The defendant
may make payments on the forfeiture money judgment by cashier's check or money order to
"United States Marshals Service," referencing the case number, and mailed to: United States
Marshals Service, ATTN: Dorothy Akins, 351 S. West Temple, Suite 4.200, Salt Lake City, UT
