WKYC: How Many Times Was Ohio US Senate Candidate Bernie Moreno Sued During His Business Career? VERIFY

Columbus, OH – Last week, reporting from WKYC found Bernie Moreno has been sued by his former employees “at least 50 times” which is “much more than” what Moreno has falsely claimed on the campaign trail. Moreno has faced scrutiny for his record as a car salesman, which includes over a dozen lawsuits where Moreno refused to pay his employees what they were owed, including one case where he deliberately destroyed evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of paying them.

WKYC: How many times was Ohio US Senate candidate Bernie Moreno sued during his business career? VERIFY

In an interview with The Vindicator in the Youngstown area, Moreno told the publication he was sued just five times in 15 years of business.

If you search for “Bernie Moreno Companies” as a defendant on the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas online docket, 13 cases show up. A search in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, reveals at least 10 lawsuits against Moreno’s M11 Motors, LLC.

There was at least one administrative action against Moreno’s M10 Motors Inc. in Florida, and a search of federal court records shows multiple lawsuits against Moreno’s companies in Ohio, Florida, and California naming M1 Motors Inc., M2 Motors Inc., M10 Motors Inc., M10 Motors LLC, and Bernie Moreno Companies.

So we can VERIFY that this claim is false. Moreno was not sued just five times in 15 years of business. It was much more than that.

I told Moreno’s campaign that we uncovered dozens of court cases involving his companies, and asked for his comment on that… His campaign didn’t address lawsuits filed in any other state, including the 13 that show up in Cuyahoga County alone.
