Freedom execs tied to new chemical company
Freedom Industries, the company whose chemical leak contaminated the tap water of 300,000 West Virginians, will cease to exist once it goes through bankruptcy, but that doesn’t mean its executives are out of the chemical business.
Lexycon LLC, a chemical company whose characteristics are strikingly similar to Freedom Industries, registered as a business with the West Virginia secretary of state about a month ago.
The companies share addresses and phone numbers, Lexycon was founded by a former Freedom executive and it has ties to at least two other current or former Freedom executives.
Lexycon was founded in Florida, on March 24. Its mailing address is a building on North Collier Boulevard on Marco Island, Florida. Gary Southern, the president of Freedom Industries, owns a house on Marco Island about two miles away. On April 3, about a week after Lexycon registered in Florida, it did the same in West Virginia.
