One of Jimmy Haslam's top sales executives with Pilot Flying J [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]admitted Monday that he helped fleece trucking companies out of more than $7 million in a rebate scam [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and national scrutiny to the Browns' owner.

Brian Mosher, the company's national director of sales, was one of three former employees who pleaded guilty to fraud-related charges in U.S. District Court in Knoxville, Tenn., involving the family company of Haslam. The others, Christopher Andrews and Lexie Holden, bring the number of people charged in the case to 10.
Mosher pleaded guilty to complicity to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, while Andrews and Holden admitted to separate charges of conspiracy. Each of the three -- like the others charged in the case -- has agreed to cooperate with authorities.
Mosher's plea agreement says he was responsible for defrauding between 50 and 250 customers. The plea agreement puts the loss that he is responsible for at between $7 million and $20 million.
It is unclear how much money Andrews defrauded from trucking companies, as prosecutors did not release a dollar amount in his plea agreement. He worked as a regional sales representative in Texas.
