In reverse chronological order:

The defense memorandum in support of the motion to sever counts raises generic concerns over possible jury confusion, evidentiary overlap, and evidence admissible on some counts but not others. None of the defense arguments go beyond mere allegations to actually establish any reason to conclude that prejudice will necessarily result from one trial of all the counts in this indictment.

Without any analysis of the evidence, defendant Van Den Heuvel’s memorandum simply states that evidence of one of the two schemes alleged would not be admissible to prove the other scheme in separate trials. That may not necessarily be correct. On the face of the indictment, both schemes involve violations of the same statutes, allegations that Mr. Van Den Heuvel used others as straw borrowers to obtain loans for Mr. Van Den Heuvel and his business entities, and allegations that collateral controlled by Mr. Van Den Heuvel was used as security for the loans. With these points in mind, the United States does not concede that evidence of the one scheme could not be used to prove motive, intent, plan, absence of mistake, or lack of accident with regard to the other scheme…

The defense also asserts that the jury might be confused between schemes and convict the defendant in one scheme based on evidence of the other. That is theoretically possible but unlikely here because the charges are relatively simple (lying to get money) and they involve separate loans from separate financial institutions. When the evidence of separate counts is relatively short and simple and there is no reason established for concluding that the jury could not keep the evidence relevant to each count separate, there is no basis to sever counts under Rule 14(a).

Additionally, despite numerous oral and written requests from the undersigned to Debtor’s counsel over a period of multiple weeks, WEDC has been unable to receive basic information regarding, among other things, the location of WEDC’s collateral…

The undersigned has been informed by the counsel for the Parkview property landlord that

a.  All of the Debtor’s personal property located therein is currently in the process of being removed, and

b.  The location or even existence of certain specific personal property in which WEDC believe it holds a first position security interest cannot be confirmed.

7.  This Court confirmed Debtor’s Chapter 11 Plan on February 17, 2017…

8.  The Plan provided for a “roll up” on or before March 31, 2017 and stated that, if the Debtor did not successfully “roll up” by March 31, 2017, the Debtor would immediately consent to this Court’s lift of the automatic stay.

9.  Debtor did not successfully “roll up” the Plan by March 31, 2017…

10.  Cause exists for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362(d)(1) of Bankruptcy Code. Specifically:

A.  Debtor has failed to make adequate protection payments to Ability.

B.  Debtor has no equity in the Real Estate, as evidenced by the terms of the Plan.

C.  Debtor’s reorganization attempts have failed, so the Real Estate is no longer necessary for its successful reorganization.

D.  Debtor consented to relief from the automatic stay in the Plan.

This action arises out of a business dispute. … Plaintiff purchased specialized equipment from Defendants, which allegedly did not perform as promised. …

Additionally, Defendants did not provide certain documents that Plaintiff asserts they were contractually required to provide. … Plaintiff therefore brought claims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of warranty, and revocation…

The Court agrees with Plaintiff. Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that Defendants provided equipment that, “as designed and manufactured,” cannot “function at the levels promised and warranted by Defendants.” … The information Plaintiff seeks is relevant and necessary to determining whether manufacturing defects exist.

The Oneida Business Committee received a request from [Eric Decator / Louis Stern / Gaylen LaCrosse / Michael Flaherty / Generation Clean Fuels / Arland Clean Fuels / GCF / ACF] to consider settlement. The complaint alleges $400 million in damages; the settlement offer was $9 million. We discussed this settlement in Executive Session on August 26, 2015, and rejected this offer. We believe that the Tribe has not damaged ACF in any way and was not a party to the contract. As a result, the settlement offer is too high to be considered. We do not make a counter-offer as we continue to believe that the Tribe will prevail in this matter. However, if a settlement offer is presented which we think fairly represents the risk and cost of continuing versus concluding this matter, we have committed to bringing that to the General Tribal Council for action.

BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

4. New Business

a. Petitioner Frank Cornelius: General Tribal Council directs the Business Committee to dissolve the Oneida Seven Generations Corporation based on the Law Office’s March 2013 finding that the OSGC’s corporate charter identifies that the shareholder (i..e. the Tribe), as represented by the Oneida Business Committee, can dissolve the corporation (petition submitted 7/9/13)

Motion by Cathy L. Metoxen to dissolve Seven Generations Corporation and for Frank Cornelius to assist and work with the Business Committee on the dissolution, seconded by Scharlene Kasee. Motion approved by a hand count: 814 yes, 689 no, 69 abstained, total-1,572

WHEREAS, the Oneida General Tribal Council is the duly recognized governing body of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, and

WHEREAS, the General Tribal Council has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section I of the Oneida Tribal Constitution, and

WHEREAS, the Oneida Business Committee may be delegated duties and responsibilities by the Oneida General Tribal Council and is at all times subject to the review powers of the Oneida General Tribal Council, and

WHEREAS, the General Tribal Council met on to discuss the opportunity of implementing a waste-to-energy facility on the Reservation, and

WHEREAS, the General Tribal Council adopted the following motion:
“…to direct the BC to stop Oneida Seven Generations Corporation from building any gasification or waste-to-energy or plastic recycling plant at N7329 Water Circle Place, Oneida, Wisconsin or any other location within the Oneida Tribal reservation boundaries.”

WHEREAS, the discussion regarding waste-to-energy and other similar activities identified the General Tribal Council is of the opinion that this technology may result in causing health and environmental damage; and

WHEREAS, the Oneida Business Committee has identified a need to clarify the application of this action of the General Tribal Council to allow it to be fully implemented to meet the opinion of the General Tribal Council;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oneida Business Committee directs that all corporations, entities, and enterprises of the Tribe shall not engage in, or allow tenants or lessees to engage in, the business of operating a waste-to-energy, plastics recycling, or other similar technology on Tribal fee or trust property within the Reservation.

IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that all corporations, entities, and enterprises of the Tribe who are engaged in, or who have tenants or lessees engaged in the business of operating a waste-to-energy, plastics recycling or other similar technology shall take necessary steps to cease those operations in a reasonable and timely manner.

That rejected OBC Resolution was proposed by some OBC members following the various media reports about the discovery of an illegal ‘open-flame’ operation being conducted in OSGC’s 1201 O’Hare Blvd. facility.

  • VIDEO – August 28, 2013 Oneida Business Committee Regular Meeting excerpt re: Analysis of Frank Cornelius Sr.’s Petition for GTC to Direct the OBC to Dissolve OSGC, as well as OSGC Report by ONWI Legislative Affairs Director & OSGC Board Member Nathan King announcing the ‘Mutual Separation Agreement’ with former OSGC CEO Kevin Cornelius, and falsely claiming OSGC was not involved in pyrolysis nor gasification on the ONWI Reservation when it was illegally occuring in violation of local zoning laws at their 1201 O’Hare Boulevard commercial building in Hobart, WI, as well as the OBC refusing to acknowledge OSGC’s plan to market pyrolysis & gasification incinerators to other Tribes and municipalities

As you know, you and we have devoted substantial amounts of time, effort and money to developing the Project. We understand that you have devoted in excess of $5.8 million to the Project. We have also devoted thousands of hours and over $3.0 million to the Project. Now that the Project is about to be financed, it would be a horrible waste of all those hours and dollars to abandon it at this point. …

 Because of the close working relationship we have developed with your team, we have Made many concessions, which have increased your potential benefit and reduced (if not eliminated) your risks with respect to this Project.

•  Leasing the equipment for the Project to you at a substantial discount to its market price.

•  Agreeing to defer almost half of the Project cost owed to us for as long as 9 years.

•  Lending GBRE $870,000 to fund half of the required debt service reserve fund.

•  Guaranteeing the entire amount of the loan. In addition, I am personally guaranteeing $3.0 million of the loan.

•  Providing OSGC with a royalty of 11% of gross revenues off the top.

•  Providing OSGC with a $250,000 development fee at Closing.

•  Depositing $2.2 million in cash as additional collateral for the loan.

We need to know as soon as possible whether you plan to complete the Project. We have many other customers who would like to acquire equipment from us. We have been deferring these customers because of our commitment to you. However, if you do not tell us by August 23, 2013, that you are planning to complete the Project, we will need to divert our assets and attention to servicing our other customers. At this point, even if you decided to complete the Project, we would need to reconsider whether we would still be willing to do the Project on the same basis (including all of the concessions outlined above).

We hope to hear from you soon and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

TRANSCRIPT – May 5, 2013 General Tribal Council Meeting Transcript, including GTC’s vote to prohibit OSGC & its subsidiaries from engaging in ‘pyrolysis,’ ‘waste-to-energy’ and ‘plastics-to-oil’ anywhere on the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin reservation.

AUDIO – May 5, 2013 GTC Meeting re: OSGC wherein GTC votes to prohibit OSGC from conducting gasification on the Oneida reservation, yet OSGC did it anyway

“On or about May 3, 2013, Kevin Cornelius informed ACF that 4 out of 5 OSGC Board members approved the commitment letter.” [April 6, 2015 Plaintiffs-Appellants’ Brief, Cook Co. IL, ACF/GCF v. ONW/OSGC et ]

Kevin:

Did you sign the commitment letter yet?

Eric

We are still waiting for one more board member to give us a yes. We have 4 yes votes, but we’d like to have all 5 votes.

We have two options. First, we will talk with Craig at the bank and if he needs it by today then we will sign the commitment letter since we have the votes.

Second, if we wait till Monday [May 6, after the Sunday, May 5, 2013 GTC Meeting Kevin Cornelius attended on behalf of OSGC where GTC voted to prohibit OSGC from engaging in ACF/GCF’s project on the Oneida Reservation,] then we will work with the board member to get his vote by Monday. He is not opposed, but  he had a few questions and we have sent him the answers, but he has not gotten back to us.

Media coverage:

In reality, the OBC voted on April 11, 2013 to reaffirm OBC Resoluton 12-08-10-B which states the OBC supports OSGC & subsidiary Oneida Energy Inc. …

as corporations wholly owned by the Tribe constructing this facility on the Oneida Reservation, OSGC and Oneida Energy are bound to comply with tribal land use and environmental laws as well as federal environmental laws

HOWEVER, the Hurlbut St. parcel  in the City of Green Bay which the OBC claimed their reaffirmation vote was in favor of is NOT on the Oneida Reservation.

On May 5, 2013 General Tribal Council voted to prohibit OSGC & its subsidiaries from engaging in ‘gasification,’ ‘waste-to-energy’ and ‘plastics-to-oil’ anywhere on the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin Reservation.

[Ed] must read the [CONFIDENTIAL October 30, 2008 OSGC AUDIT by the Tribe’s INTERNAL AUDIT DEPT.] as it appears that [OSGC] is still not in compliance with the issues brought up there …. While my previous emails may have seemed to soften my stance on [OSGC] after reading the 2008 audit I am very concerned. [Ed] should order a followup to the 2008 audit and then have an independent counsel review how the tribal law was violated and possible action. (much of this is business 101)…

I am very concerned about this whole mess.

This letter is, also, to inform you that the information submitted is incomplete. …

Due to the nature of this operation, and to improve our knowledge, as well as, provide a appropriate evaluation, we have asked for supporting information (i.e. from lab testing and existing operations). The submittal provides information that mixes “waste-to-energy” (WTE) under differing applications. For example, in some literature, there are references to biomass waste burned in boilers to produce energy. There are also references to municipal solid waste (MSW) being incinerated. However, biomass waste differs in energy production than MSW, and boilers differ in operation than incinerators, which also differ in operation than the pyrolysis gasification process. Although there are number WTE boilers and MSW incinerators in the US, it appears that current operating pyrolysis applications are at research and testing locations and do not exist on a commercial scale. We are concerned that your proposal is for a large scale facility versus an initially scaled down pilot facility (with the potential for growth pending proven operating success). I cautiously note, in its current for, the information submitted does not provide us with a confidence level that would ensure a reasonable expectation of success.

Mike Debraska: I have a couple of questions here. Can everyone please turn to page 55 [of the meeting packet]? If you all go down to that fourth paragraph, where it starts out “the Oneida Business Committee has authorized two types of corporate entities,” jump down to the sixth sentence there. It says “the Oneida Tribe does not currently have laws regarding corporations in place.” Why on God’s green earth are we supporting Seven Gens when you guys don’t even have laws, rules or regulations to govern those people? That’s first, okay. Secondly, look at a couple lines down from there in that paragraph that says…in the second sentence, “however, in the case where the corporation has a small number of shareholders or in the case where the Tribe is the sole shareholder, liability” – LIABILITY – “may pass through the corporation to the Tribe.” You mean we’re responsible for their blunders and their errors? That’s my second point. I got about 20 others in here because I’ve spent about 14 hours going through this thing and picking it apart. On page 58, if you notice, on the bottom there, or, excuse me, go one page back to letter H. It says, “to elect or appoint officers or agents of the corporations and define their duties and set their compensation, provided that such elections or appointments comply with the laws of the Oneida Nation and policies of the corporation….” What laws?! You just told me on the page before you have no laws, rules or regulations governing these people! This is what I mean about conflicting information. Bad, bad news. I can’t make heads or tails of this and every time I’ve asked for information and had requests about Seven Gens, I’ve never gotten anything. I don’t think we should be giving them one more dime.

[Fmr. OBC Chair] Rick Hill: Kathy Hughes?

[Fmr. OBC Vice-Chair] Kathy Hughes: On the question, I guess the first one, about the Tribe having no corporate laws, that is basically correct.

We respectfully urge the Oneida Nation to reconsider this project that would pollute the environment and undermine true renewable energy efforts, and instead pursue safer, truly green and viable economic development projects.

  • June 23, 2010 Oneida Business Committee Resolution 06-23-10-B, ‘Department of the Interior / Bureau of Indian Affairs / Energy and Mineral Development Program / Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development Grant Program / Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development Grant Program to Assess, Evaluate and Promote Development of Tribal Energy and Mineral Resources FY2010’

A.  The Wisconsin Action

On June 19, 2008, Flambeau, Johnson Timber Corporation and William Johnson (collectively “Wisconsin Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against Organic Energy Conversion Company (“OECC”) in Price County Circuit Court in Wisconsin. Dkt. 6-2. Johnson Timber is a Wisconsin corporation, and Mr. Johnson is its principal shareholder and chief executive officer. Mr. Johnson, a resident of Wisconsin, is also the CEO of Flambeau, as well as the sole member of Summit Lake Management, LLC, which is the managing member of Flambeau.

According to the complaint, in February 2008, OECC and Flambeau entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”), which called for Flambeau to make a payment of $600,000 to OECC that was to be used exclusively by OECC for the development and construction of a specified product. Under the MOU, OECC and Flambeau were to successfully test the product no later than April 1, 2008, and the product was to be delivered to Flambeau’s Park Falls, Wisconsin facility no later than May 1, 2008. Flambeau maintains that it paid the initial $600,000 to OECC for production and development of the product.

When it became apparent that OECC could not deliver the product as promised, Mr. Johnson met with individuals purporting to be authorized representatives of OECC in an attempt to find a business solution to the problem. Those discussions led to the signing of a term sheet, which expressed the parties’ desire to explore a joint-venture type relationship relating to the product. Under the term sheet, all equipment and other items necessary for completion of the product would be delivered to the Park Falls facility, and OECC would dispatch an authorized representative to the facility to “ensure the successful manufacture and assembly” of the product. The Wisconsin Plaintiffs maintain that the term sheet is a non-binding document “merely setting forth the good-faith intentions of the parties for the structure of the joint-venture relationship. The term sheet explicitly calls for subsequent agreements to be reached and entered into between OECC and one or more of the [Wisonsin] Plaintiffs, although it does not identify which specific parties are to be participants in the contemplated joint venture.” Id. at 7. The term sheet also calls for a subsequent operating agreement to be entered into as part of the joint venture relationship. The Wisconsin Plaintiffs maintain that the parties have not negotiated or entered into an operating agreement.

Additionally, the term sheet provided that once the operating agreement has been executed and the joint venture established, Mr. Johnson and/or one of the other Wisconsin Plaintiffs was to pay OECC $1 million in ten equal installments. The Wisconsin Plaintiffs maintain that, although no joint venture had been established, Mr. Johnson, “as a gesture of good faith,” caused the first installment to be made to OECC on May 2, 2008.

On May 28, 2008, Mr. Johnson received information from Butch Sadikay, who identified himself as a 50% owner of OECC, “caution[ing] Mr. Johnson from continuing to do business with OECC without further discussion between them.” Id. at 8. Based on this information, as well as a subsequent phone conversation, the Wisconsin Plaintiffs believed that “it [did] not appear … that the individuals who signed the MOU and the term sheet were authorized to do so on behalf of [OECC].” Id.

Flambeau contends that it demanded an accounting of the $600,000 because OECC never completed the product. Flambeau further maintains that OECC has requested an installment payment pursuant to the term sheet, and that OECC characterized the term sheet as a “binding contract.”

In the Wisconsin action, the plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that they owe no contractual obligations requiring payment to OECC. The Wisconsin Plaintiffs also seek an accounting for the $600,000 Flambeau allegedly paid to OECC. OECC asserted several affirmative defenses in its answer, including (1) lack of personal jurisdiction, (2) improper jurisdiction and venue because key discussions and agreements took place in Washington where key witnesses still reside, and (3) improper jurisdiction and venue because Flambeau signed a written agreement promising that disputes arising out of the terms of the parties’ relationship could only be commenced in Pierce County, Washington. Id., 14-15.

B. OECC’s Washington Action

On November 10, 2008, OECC filed a complaint against Flambeau and Fountainhead Engineering, Ltd. (“Fountainhead”), in Pierce County Superior Court in Washington. Dkt. 1, 9-13. On January 8, 2009, Defendants Flambeau and Fountainhead removed the Washington action to this Court. Id., 1-5. OECC alleges two causes of action: (1) breach of contract based on Flambeau’s and Fountainhead’s alleged breach of a mutual non-disclosure agreement (“MNDA”), and (2) conversion based on Flambeau’s and Fountainhead’s alleged conversion of OECC’s intellectual or other property. According to this complaint, OECC developed “valuable and confidential technology and process for non-thermal drying of biosolids and biomass.” Id. at 10. This technology and process was the subject of a confidential patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on December 12, 2007. OECC agreed to give access to this patent application to Flambeau and Fountainhead for the purpose of furthering a possible business relationship between the parties to develop, manufacture and sell a non-thermal biomass dryer to the timber industry (referred to by the parties as the “Possible Transaction”). To that end, the parties entered into the MNDA, which is dated December 11, 2007. The MNDA provides in part:

Neither Party will use, or permit any of its Representatives to use, any of the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the evaluation of the Possible Transaction, and neither Party will make any such Confidential Information available to any Person for any other 2 purpose whatsoever.

Dkt. 1 at 16.

The MNDA also includes a provision that requires “any legal proceedings arising out of the terms of [the MDNA] … be commenced in the courts located in Pierce County [Washington].” Id. at 21.

OECC alleges that Flambeau and Fountainhead “repudiated the existence of any business relationship with [OECC]” and claimed to have built their own non-thermal biomass dryer with the assistance of Mr. Johnson and Johnson Timber. OECC maintains that Defendants’ biomass dryer wrongfully uses OECC’s confidential information in violation of the MNDA. …

…[I]t is hereby ORDERED as follows:

1. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 24) is DENIED.

2. Defendants’ motion to temporarily suspend proceedings (Dkt. 25) until after trial in Wisconsin and for a status conference immediately thereafter is GRANTED.

DATED this 21st day of December, 2009.
