Rivera represented that Vertroleum was of "high quality" and could be "used as biocrude, biodiesel, or as a biodiesel blending component for petroleum diesel," and that the production process created a residue that was a "high-quality fertilizer."

* Rivera represented that laboratory test results (which he presented) analyzed Vertroleum's chemical composition. Rivera did not mention that the testing company was closely related to SSTP; the company's president was a member of SSTP's Board. The test results showed that Vertroleum met the ATSM standards for biofuel. Borneo Energy alleges that Rivera and SSTP knew that Vertroleum did not meet these standards or recklessly represented Vertroleum's qualities despite the lack of proper testing.

* Rivera presented a "whitepaper" that purported to analyze SSTP's technology for generating biogas for use in electricity generation. The whitepaper projected an internal rate of return of 142.1% for SSTP, making a two-reactor Vertroleum production plant in the United States economically viable. Borneo Energy alleges, on information and belief, that Rivera and SSTP knew that this internal rate of return was not achievable.
