A Box Elder County biofuel company fined for exploiting federal tax credits by importing fuels they claimed they produced may pay millions to one such importer after the company abandoned a $90 million deal in 2014.
On Wednesday, a federal court jury in New York recommended Washakie Renewable Energy pay over $25.3 million to Lifetree Trading PTE for damages suffered in the breached agreement.
Washakie Renewable Energy is associated with the Kingston Group, a Utah-based polygamous church with fundamentalist Mormon beliefs that is also known as the Davis County Cooperative Society and the Latter Day Church of Christ.
