Mohammad Al-Saleh sued International Oil Trading Company and its owners, Harry Sargeant, III, and Mustafa Abu-Naba’a. Al-Saleh, a former partner with Sargeant and Abu-Naba’a in a venture to obtain U.S. government contracts to transport fuel across Jordan to American forces in Iraq, claimed the two men conspired to swindle him out of one-third of the profits (over $13 million) after he had obtained the required authorizations from the Jordanian government. In July 2011, a Palm Beach County, Florida jury found in favor of Al-Saleh and ordered Sargeant to pay Al-Saleh $28.8 million in damages.
