Potter worked for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Dale told U.S. District Judge Thomas Phillips on Tuesday that Potter concocted a scheme in 2006 to skim $400,000 in Department of Energy grant money by creating phony invoices - a plot that he carried out for three years. In a plea agreement, Potter pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering, according to The Knoxville News-Sentinel ( http://bit.ly/nErcg7). Potter must also reimburse the government with money from him personal and retirement accounts. He will be sentenced in January. The group he worked for is a critic of TVA's coal-fired power plants.
