Freedom Fuel Stations Allegedly Sold Gas That Distributor Claims Went Unpaid
A lawsuit filed by Mansfield Oil alleges that businessman Syed Kazmi and his company, KRSM, obtained over 1.1 million gallons of fuel worth approximately $4 million from a Pennsylvania supply terminal between May and July but failed to pay for it. Some of this unpaid fuel was allegedly sold through the Freedom Fuel Network, which had been praised by former President Donald Trump in early July for offering steeply discounted gas prices at its stations across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The lawsuit does not name or accuse the Freedom Fuel Network itself of wrongdoing but claims that KRSM's failure to pay enabled some of the low-price sales. A judge partially granted Mansfield’s request for a preliminary injunction, requiring defendants to maintain a bank account balance of $2.75 million. The legal dispute is described by KRSM as an accounting issue over mispriced invoices. The White House stated it has had no contact with the involved parties, and Freedom Fuel Network did not respond to requests for comment.
