Hot Read -- Haslam family business faces complex federal inquiry - ESPN
"It seemed obvious to Western's owners then in 2009 that their problems were a direct result of the recession. But, after a dramatic FBI raid on Pilot's headquarters this past April and assertions from the government that Pilot was defrauding its customers by shortchanging them on promised discounts, the executives at Western have reconsidered. They now blame Pilot for their troubles."
"Western is one of hundreds of customers that, according to the FBI, were victims of "intentional and deceptive" manipulation of discounts by Pilot. When Haslam told sales executive Mosher at that meeting in 2009 that he was grateful for the money Mosher was saving for the company, Haslam may have been referring to Mosher's reductions in rebates Pilot was paying to its fuel customers."
