Mansfield Oil Company, a U.S. fuel supplier, filed a lawsuit on August 19 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, accusing businessman Syed Kazmi and his company KRSM of acquiring over 1.1 million gallons of fuel, valued at approximately $4 million, without payment. The lawsuit alleges that KRSM extracted fuel from a Pennsylvania terminal between May and July, and sold a portion of it to Freedom Fuel Network gas stations, a network promoted by Donald Trump in July. On August 28, a federal judge partially granted Mansfield's motion for a preliminary injunction, requiring the defendants to maintain at least $2.75 million in their bank accounts. KRSM's legal representatives denied the allegations, stating it is an accounting dispute regarding Mansfield Oil's incorrect pricing of fuel invoices.
