The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government's allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On November 30, 2023, the Michigan Attorney General announced felony charges filed in 67th District Court in Flint, Michigan. Charges filed allege David Gillespie defrauded the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Gillespie operated Detroit Environmental Solutions LLC by fraudulently holding it out to be a distinct entity from another business, BBEK Environmental (BBEK), to satisfy requirements of TARP funded demolition contracts obtained by BBEK, which required that air quality monitoring be conducted by an independent third-party business, a critical requirement when dealing with asbestos and other harmful particles. The People allege the business was funded by and operated by principals of BBEK, and the intent was to keep air testing expenses within the scope of revenue for BBEK.
Gillespie is charged with one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise, a 20-year felony; one count of False Pretenses $20,000-$50,000, a 15-year felony; one count of False Pretenses $50,000-$100,000, a 15-year felony; one count of False Pretenses $100,000 or more, a 20-year felony; and one count of Lying to a Peace Officer, a 2-year high court misdemeanor.
See the Attorney General's press release, felony warrant, and BBB profile of BBEK Environmental for additional information.
