A lawsuit filed in Florida alleges that former Tennessee Republican Rep. Mark Green and lobbyist Marc Hebert used confidential client information to form a competing business and pursue a fuel agreement with the Guyanese government — the same deal their clients, Curlew Mainstream and Playera Group, already were working to secure. The suit further claims that while Green was still a sitting congressman and chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, he and Hebert threatened to use their political connections to interfere with Curlew's pending agreement, and later communicated with the Guyanese government to raise "issues" that delayed it. Green, who retired from Congress in July 2024, has described his company Prosimos as a venture to help American companies compete internationally against Chinese firms. The Nashville Banner has the story.
