Florida Fuel Supplier Indicted for Defrauding U.S. Military Ships of More Than $5 Million With Forged Invoices
On June 11, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida had indicted Florida fuel supplier Jasen Butler, alleging he defrauded U.S. military ships of more than $5 million using altered and forged invoices.
Butler, 37, of Jupiter, in Palm Beach County, owns Independent Marine Oil Services LLC (IMOS). The indictment alleged that from August 2022 through January 2024, Butler submitted dozens of altered or forged documents through the Defense Department's SEA Card program for multiple U.S. military ships, including USS Patriot, claiming and receiving more than $5 million for charges that were never actually incurred. The SEA Card program is the ordering and invoicing system through which U.S. military and federal vessels buy fuel at ports around the world.
The indictment contains 35 counts: counts 1 through 27 charge wire fraud, carrying up to 20 years in prison each; counts 28 through 33 charge forgery, carrying up to 10 years each; and counts 34 and 35 charge money laundering, carrying up to 10 years each.
The case was investigated by the Coast Guard Investigative Service, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Assistant Chief Sara Clingan and Trial Attorney Jonathan Pomeranz of the Antitrust Division's Washington Criminal Section are prosecuting the case, as part of the Procurement Collusion Strike Force. An indictment is merely an allegation, and Butler is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
