Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Cleveland Browns, denies knowledge of rebate fraud that his truck-stop business is being accused of practicing.

In unsealed search warrant affidavit, there are accusations that Haslam and Pilot Flying J president Mark Hazelwood were aware of the practice because they attended sales meetings in which it was discussed.

Haslam went on to apologize for "the actions of our people." 

"It's a blip. It may be a substantial blip," Haslam said. "But in no way, shape or form does it affect my ownership of the Browns." 

Haslam could be indicted, which would impact his ownership due to how image-conscious the NFL has become.
