Former Solyndra Employees Saw Questionable Spending. Former employees of Solyndra, the

shuttered solar company that exhausted half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, said they saw questionablspending by management almost as soon as a federal agency approved a $535 million government-backedloan for the start-up.

After We Got The Loan Guarantee, They Were Just Spending Money Left And Right, Said FormerSolyndra Engineer Lindsey Eastburn.(Carol D. Leonning And Joe Stephens, Solyndra Employees: Company Suffered FromMismanagement, Heavy Spending,The Washington Post,9/21/11)

With The Loan Money Solyndra Built A Seven-Acre Factory And Bought Custom-Made Tools From Dutch Company. With the loan guarantee in hand, Solyndra built a second, seven-acre factory with 19loading docks. As part of the expansion, Gronet and fellow managers hoped to cut costs by speeding up theautomated assembly. To do so, they bought a custom-made assembly tool from VDL, a Dutch company.

summer of 2010. (Carol D. Leonning And Joe Stephens, Solyndra Employees: Company Suffered From Mismanagement, Heavy Spending, TheWashington Post,9/21/11)

Solyndra Decided It Did Not Want To Use Available Space, But Needed A New Factory.Therewas available space that we talked about with them, Bob Wasserman, Fremonts mayor, said in aninterview. It was their decision that they needed a new building. Was that a good decision? It didntturn out to be. (Alison Vekshin And Mark Chediak, Solyndras $733M Plant Had Robots, Spa Showers,Bloomberg,9/28/11)

The New Plant Was Built In The Epicenter Of Some Of The Priciest Real Estate In TheCountry. Commercial real-estate agents in the region wondered why a new factory was being buil

in the Silicon Valley region, the epicenter of some of the priciest real estate in the country, wheremost new construction consists ofoffice space.(Alison Vekshin And Mark Chediak, Solyndras $733M Plant Had Robots, SpaShowers,Bloomberg, 9/28/11)

IN 2010, SOLYNDRA DEFAULTED ON THEIR LOAN, AND BROKE THEIR AGREEMENTWITH THE GOVERNMENT

Solyndra Technically Defaulted On Its Government Loan In Late 2010, Violating Their LoanAgreement.Solyndra LLC had such steep financial problems in late 2010 that the company violated termsof its loan-guarantee agreement with the Department of Energy and technically defaulted on its $535 millioloan, according to people familiar with the matter.(Deborah Solomon, Solyndra Said To Have Violated Terms Of Its US Loan,The WaStreet Journal,9/28/11)

Solyndra Failed To Pay A $5 Million Payment In December 2010. The failed solar-panel maker,which is under numerous criminal and congressional investigations, ran so short of cash inDecember 2010 that it was unable to satisfy certain terms of its U.S. loan agreement, these peoplesaid. The agreement required Solyndra to provide $5 million in equity to a subsidiary building itsfactory but cash-flow problems prevented those payments. (Deborah Solomon, Solyndra Said To Have Violated TermsOf Its US Loan,The Wall Street Journal,9/28/11)

Solyndras Default Only Raising More Questions About Obamas Backing Of Solyndra. It will likely adto questions surrounding the Obama administration's backing for the company even as its financialproblems mounted.

But The Obama Administration Ignored The Glaring Red Flags And Allowed Taxpayers To TakA Back Seat During The Loan Restructuring In 2011

Obamas Department Of Energy Made The Decision To Waive Its Privilege As First Creditor InSolyndra Loan. That decision in February gave Solyndra a temporary reprieve and a chance to survive,but it also forced the government to waive its privilege as first creditor in the event of a bankruptcy which then occurred at the end of August. (Matthew L. Wald, Questions Raised Over Letting Another Lender Help A Failing Solar CompanThe New York Times, 9/16/11)

And Allowed Taxpayers To Take A Backseat To An Investment Company Backed By An ObamaDonor.Complicating the politics of the situation for the Obama administration, part of the new loan camefrom Argonaut, the investment company backed by George Kaiser, an Oklahoma oil billionaire who is anObama campaign contributor. Argonaut was already heavily invested in Solyndra, and provided another $6million in cash in exchange for taking over $75 million that Solyndra was owed by its customers.

A Solyndra regulatory filing suggests the $340million invested in the company was viewed by the charity partly as a way to bring jobs to a city whereKaisers wealth has underwritten projects from parks to preschools.

George Kaisers Family Foundation Was Investigated By The Senate Finance Committee In 2005 ForIts Use Of Tax Loopholes. Six years ago, Senate Finance Committee investigators mounted an inquiry intoan exotic variety of nonprofit organization that they feared affluent families were using to warehousewealth while simultaneously earning themselves lucrative tax breaks. One nonprofit group singled out forscrutiny was a low-profile organization based in Tulsa. That group, the George Kaiser Family Foundation,later became the biggest investor in Solyndra, the solar company that collapsed last month after burningthrough a half-billion dollars in taxpayer money.
