PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is currently investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of investors in funds sponsored by Freedom Impact Consulting, LLC ("FIC") and related entities, Clean Energy Technology Association, Inc. ("CETA").

Eric N. Shelly ("Shelly") founded and controls FIC, which markets passive income strategies and tax mitigation tools to investors. Roy W. Hill ("Hill") controls CETA, a company that claims to build machines that enhance the marketability and recovery of hydrocarbons, referred to as carbon capture units ("CCUs"), which CETA purports to lease to major oil and gas producers.

Berger Montague's investigation concerns allegations that although Shelly and Hill represented to investors that monies invested in funds sponsored by FIC would be used to purchase CCUs, and that investors would receive returns representing a share of revenues earned from operating the CCUs, this investment scheme was a fraud.

According to a complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the investment operated as a "fraudulent scheme" because CETA has not received material revenues from CCU operations, and the quarterly distributions made to investors are sourced from other investors' capital. The complaint further alleges that, to conceal and perpetuate the scheme, Shelly and FIC have provided investors with false financial statements that reflect economic activity and investment returns that do not exist.
