M.D. Pennsylvania 4:19-CR-000196
In October 2014, Wise developed a website that purported to offer EPA-accredited certification program for lead-based paint activities, through a company called Professional and Environmental Training Association (PandETA.com). Wise previously worked for a company that provided environmental training, including lead and mold abatement certification. Wise did not possess EPA-accreditation to offer certification on his own. Customers soon began complaining about paying for various certifications via the website, but not receiving training.
In email correspondence and phone conversations with EPA, Aaron Wise represented himself to be “John McCann,” the director of operations for PandETA.com. He asserted that EPA accredited the company for lead paint certification training.
