A California investor sued Tellurian Inc Chairman Charif Souki on Thursday, blaming him for fraud according to an arrangement over Tellurian stock. Investor Chris Parker filed a breach of contract lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Denver looking for unknown damages from Souki, author of the U.S. liquefied natural gas company. Parker, a Los Angeles occupant, asserted Souki reneged on a promise vowed to cover any investment losses Parker endured while holding around 11 million offers in Tellurian between 2019 and 2021.
Neither Tellurian nor Souki replied to a request for comment.

Parker said he began acquiring Tellurian shares in 2017,a year that they traded as high as $20.47 per share. By August 2019, the stock had dropped to about $5 per share.
The complaint alleged Souki was forced by his bank to sell tens of millions of his shares to cover loans while he was telling Parker not to sell.
“Charif Souki made a clear promise to Chris Parker – a promise that Souki broke, and that in retrospect it appears he never intended to honor,” Matthew L. Schwartz, a lawyer for Parker, said in a statement.
