Federal prosecutors have brought more charges against embattled Lubbock businessman Jeff Gunselman, who is accused of selling fake carbon credits to scam companies out of more than $50 million.

An indictment issued by a federal grand jury Wednesday lists 82 new felony charges against Gunselman and his associated businesses Absolute Fuels, LLC; Absolute Milling, LLC; Ellipse Energy, LLC; 21 Investments, LLC; and YGOG Holdings, LLC.

Those charges include 51 counts of wire fraud, 24 counts of money laundering and four counts of false statements under the Clean Air Act.

The indictment also includes a forfeiture notice for the $42 million dollars in allegedly stolen money Gunselman was thought to have on hand in October when federal agents began their investigation.

Gunselman is being held at a federal holding facility near San Antonio while he waits to be transferred to Lubbock.
