Flint Hills Resources, a Koch subsidiary, faces a class action lawsuit by over 2,300 fishermen after understating a 2022 oil spill in Corpus Christi bays, with the Coast Guard determining a larger spill than reported. The lawsuit alleges that Koch's initial misleading statements hindered an effective clean-up, impacting fishermen's livelihoods. Though Koch settled a related lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice, paying nearly $1 million, the fishermen claim ongoing business damages, seeking compensation and punitive damages for Koch's negligence. Koch's history of environmental violations further shadows their current legal challenges.
