$13M Pasco swindler is released from prison. Now hes accused of passport fraud

A serial swindler who stole from investors in his Pasco company is accused of using a false identity to get a passport while on probation.

Michael Peter Spitzauer had just finished his latest prison term in a case related to Green Power of Pasco, a company he told investors he founded to convert municipal waste to biofuel.

He was released from prison last June and less than two months later on Aug. 2 he applied for a passport using fake information, according to a federal court indictment filed this week.

He was sentenced to a year’s probation after his release from prison. Until June 16 of this year he was prohibited from committing another crime or leaving Eastern Washington without permission from the court or his probation officer.
