Two Canadians claiming to have developed unprecedented utility-grade wind farm turbines told investors their technology was so hot their company could be the next Google, Amazon or Facebook.
There was a lot of wind behind their turbines, but not in a good way. Their claims were false and the men, including the company’s Toronto-area president, were siphoning off investor funds to enrich themselves, U.S. authorities allege.
The snappy slogan of Thunderbird Power is: “For us, Power is a Breeze.”
Such conceit is easy if, as U.S. federal authorities allege, there is no need to have a successful product before making out-sized claims and selling investments in it.
