A close reading of the article leaves room to doubt whether FedEx was complicit in the alleged scheme. I’m not surprised to see that FedEx denies the allegations. Given that there is another defendant in the lawsuit I suspect there is more to this story than what’s been presented here.

not very much room... the companies weren't all that separate and fedex profited off the alleged fraud

>>> FedEx started auctioning old vans off through its fleet company, Holman Fleet Leasing (also a defendant in the lawsuit). The lawsuit alleges that both FedEx and Holman intentionally replaced the odometers to artificially inflate the values of the vans, so they'd sell for higher prices at various auctions throughout the United States. Then, according to the accusations, both companies would split the profits.

The allegation is that both FedEx and Holman were involved, yes. If FedEx can produce an audit trail showing that the vehicles left FedEx facilities with true odometers then I don’t think Holman stands a chance.
