Mansfield Oil Sues KRSM Over Unpaid Gas Sold to Freedom Fuel Network
Mansfield Oil Company has filed a federal lawsuit against businessman Syed Kazmi and his company, KRSM, for allegedly receiving over 1.1 million gallons of fuel valued at $4 million without payment. The Georgia-based supplier claims the fuel was partially sold by KRSM to stations under the Freedom Fuel Network, which gained national attention after being promoted by former President Donald Trump in July. The lawsuit states that despite updated invoices issued on July 17 and a failed attempt to collect payments via draft requests from KRSM’s bank on July 28, no payment was made as of August 17. A federal judge partially granted Mansfield's motion for an injunction, requiring the defendants to maintain at least $2.75 million in a bank account. Syed Kazmi’s legal representative disputed the claims, calling it an accounting issue over mispriced invoices and stating they would not comment further on pending litigation.
