Jasen Butler, a 38-year-old Florida man, stole $4.5 million from the U.S. military through fraudulent invoices and a fake identity. He used forged documents, fabricated wire transfers, and an entirely made-up identity to pass on fuel for the Navy. The fraud ran for nearly a year and a half and took more than $3 million. Butler was sentenced to five years in federal prison and ordered to pay for several high-value properties purchased with the stolen funds. The case is expected to prompt a closer look at how the military vets fuel service contractors, particularly in international ports where oversight can be difficult and the pressure to refuel quickly can create openings.
