Paul Pantone (born 1950, Detroit) is the inventor of an alleged alternative fuel device: The GEET system. He pled guilty to securties fraud in 2004. As of January 2008 he is incarcerated in the Utah State Hospital awaiting sentencing.
The Patent Pantone received a patent for a 'fuel pretreater', a device to render certain fuels suitable in applications where a more refined fuel was necessary before.. The patent suggests crude oil or recycled materials such as motor oils, paint thinners, solvents, alcohols, and the like.
GEET Technology Pantone coined the name GEET short for "Global environmental energy technology" to market his devices.
Pantone has marketed both the GEET technology and classes in the installation and use of GEET technology. The device itself is described as a "self-inducing plasma generator" Pantone makes the following claims about his discovery:
::Put quite simply, the exhaust heat is transferred to the incoming fuel vapor, which must be maintained in a vacuum, and the overall configuration provides a molecular breakdown within the vacuum of all of the heavier elements. Therefore, intensifying the vacuum, the speed of molecular breakdown or reaction is magnified, and less heat is required.
::The GEET Plasma unit generates several "electrical" fields at the same time while operating, some of which are in opposite direction and all are affected by the direction of mass movement as well as by the gravitational field of our planet.
Time-line of the court case
*October 3, 2003 **Pantone was issued a cease and desist order from the Utah department of commerce . The document states that Pantone had attempted to sell stock illegally to Glenn Robertson of Quebec, that Pantone had previously been charged with "four second-degree felony counts of Securities Fraud, one third-degree felony count of Securities Fraud, one third-degree felony count of Selling an Unregistered Security and one second-degree felony count of Pattern of Unlawful Activity", that Pantone claimed in 2002 bankruptcy proceedings that he owned "a bare patent with no beneficial interest or value", and that he had transferred ownership of the GEET technology to Robert Fackrell in 2002.
*October 8, 2004 **Pantone pled guilty to two counts of securities fraud, and the other charges were dismissed.
*December 12, 2005 ** Judge Royal Hansen declared Paul doesn't get along with his lawyer Gil Atha of the Board of Directors of the Salt Lake Legal Defenders Association and is not competent to receive sentencing and would be detained indefinitely under Utah Code 77-15-5(4-5) at the Utah State Mental Hospital.
Antipsychotic drugs According to the AG’s office, the only way Pantone can be sentenced and justice can be served is if he takes anti-psychotic drugs. Pantone and his supporters fear the medications will erase his memory, turn him into a zombie—or even kill him.
