| Description | Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker was once a "partner" and "spokesman" for a subsidiary of an energy company, Just Energy, which was repeatedly targeted by states' attorneys general and utility agencies over allegedly deceptive practices.
Though much of Walker's business record -- and lawsuits and false claims around it -- have been widely covered, his ties to Just Energy have not been scrutinized.
In 2014, the Massachusetts attorney general's office alleged that the multi-level marketing practices pushed by Just Energy and Momentis' salespeople falsely represented or misled customers about Just Energy's products, including that the products would save customers money, were offered through a state-run program and that the company made special efforts to purchase state-based renewable energy. |
