Following news that the FTC has identified more illicit price fixing between an American energy company CEO and Middle Eastern oil producers, spokesman for Accountable.US Chris Marshall released the following statement:

“Americans who are struggling to make ends meet cannot afford any more price fixing collusion between Big Oil CEOs and foreign countries. They should beheld accountable to make sure consumers pay a fair price at the pump.”
