Answer 1

From Wikipedia:

"In 2003, Direct Energy was fined $157,501 after investigators discovered 21 forged contracts trapping customers into long-term energy deals. According to Paul Massara, then the president of the company, the forgeries took place between June 2001 and April 2002. Both Direct Energy and its U.S. affiliate Energy America have been charged with employing unethical business practices, with Energy America being fined over $500,000 in penalties for enrolling customers without permission and using deceptive sales pitches. The companies have been caught using such unethical business practices in Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Ontario and Manitoba. During the investigations, the company frustrated investigators by withholding and concealing evidence, failing to respond to complaints, failing to respond to subpoenas for court appearances and generally ignoring demands to comply with the investigation. The U.S. branch of the company was taken to court by a customer in 2002. The judge in the case removed himself after being solicited for a contract by Energy America, citing a concern that he was now a potential witness in the case. Before the hearing could be re-scheduled, the complaintant settled out of court with the company on the condition that he no longer discuss the case publically."
