Former employees at an Amazon fleet company say its “corrupt” owner gave a no-show job to his girlfriend, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of company funds on personal expenses, and defrauded the government by writing that money off his business taxes.
“He fed at the company trough,” they wrote of Grant Gassaway in a Jan. 9 lawsuit.
Dracarys Fleet has about 80 employees at Amazon’s warehouse, 875 W. 64th Ave.
But Shaw and Valentine are now countersuing both Dracarys Fleet and Gassaway for millions of dollars and telling a different story about the local company’s inner workings.
They say Gassaway damaged their reputations after they resigned by referring to them as embezzlers.
