In April 2013, agents from the FBI and IRS raided the Knoxville headquarters of the largest truck stop chain in the United States: Pilot Flying J. It was part of a massive investigation into a fuel rebate scam. In all, fourteen former Pilot employees pleaded guilty for their roles in what was known as “jacking the discount.” But eight years later, the story is far from over as the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals overturns the convictions of former Pilot president Mark Hazelwood and two of his staffers, who are still fighting to clear their names.
They allege they were victims of reverse racism. Co-host Clarissa Hawes delves into the latest developments as Hazelwood and two members of his team prepare for a second trial in the fuel rebate scam that rocked the truck stop dynasty. Allegations of racism – and reverse racism – are looming large in the case to this day.
Co-host and producer Nate Tabak joins Hawes for the episode.
