FBI Releases Pilot/Flying J Affidavit

 

An affidavit alleges top-level officials within the Pilot/Flying J Corporation knew about a long-running scheme to defraud money from some commercial customers.  According to the affidavit, Pilot has for years been skimming money from customer rebates, lowering the rebate rate without telling the customer, then paying the customer less than they were owed.  WUOT's Brandon Hollingsworth stayed up late reading the affidavit and spoke with Morning Edition's Chrissy Keuper. 

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
