Herschel Walker partnered in 2012 with arm of energy company accused by multiple states of deceptive
(CNN)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.
Walker, the former football player turned businessman, and his technology company 34 Technologies in 2012 partnered with Momentis, a multi-level marketing subsidiary of Just Energy, to sell an online marketing service. Walker's partnership with the subsidiary and the online marketing service they sold does not appear to have been targeted by the states as they investigated parent company Just Energy's sales practices.
Before Walker and Momentis' partnership was publicized in 2012, Just Energy, at times doing business under their previous name US Energy Savings, was repeatedly targeted for enforcement action by attorneys general in New York and Illinois. The parent company's practices allegedly enticed potential customers into long term contacts falsely saying they would save them money, allegedly included the elderly and those with language barriers being put into contracts they did not understand.
Just Energy established Momentis in 2010 to sell its energy products and other services according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
