This week’s episode Negative ROI. The Rhino Onward International (ROI) scandal involves a $46 million renewable energy swindle centered around false promises in the green hydrogen industry. Launched in 2022, ROI, led by Paul Croft and J.D. Frost, claimed it would build a green hydrogen plant worth $530 million. They attracted $31 million from over 200 investors, many of whom were their accounting and tax advisory clients, believing in the legitimacy of their venture.
