Wanaco litigation included a dismissal and a later criminal complaint

Tesoro reported dismissal of the initial Wanaco civil case in August 2025; its June 2026 half-year report states Wanaco appealed and ancillary proceedings remained. Separately, a September 2025 news report says a criminal complaint named Reeves and Uribe and reproduces a law-firm denial. The underlying complaint, any individual response and final case outcomes were not obtained.

Individual involvement documented · News reporting names this person in a complaint; allegations are not findings. The civil dismissal does not resolve the separate criminal complaint.
