Several of your recent articles have commented on the fact that the rash of intimidating Chinese-themed nuclear-power-bailout ads are being paid for by a “dark money” group and we don’t know who the donors are.

As the chief beneficiary of the outlandish ads, FirstEnergy Solutions is the most likely donor.

Because it is currently in bankruptcy, FirstEnergy Solutions files financial reports with the bankruptcy court every month, so the amounts being paid out or debts rung up should be included in those reports.

If not, it’s a fraud on the court and the lawyers, and FES execs could go to jail. I guess FirstEnergy Solutions and parent company FirstEnergy Corp. have some kind of “shared expenses” agreement when it comes to paying public and government relations expenses, but it shouldn’t be used as a sham to cover up these payments.

I think your editor should write a nice, crisp concise letter to U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Alan Koschik in Akron and ask him to find out if a fraud is being committed upon the bankruptcy court, and request that he ask FES why they are not reporting the high cost of these ads in their monthly financial reports.

It would be in the public interest for Judge Koschik to do so.
