15. On or about April 6, 2021, RST was approached by Abdullah AlSuwayed

Alramly Alramly Alramly, among other

things, is a distributor of military and medical supplies with direct ties to the Government of Saudi

Arabia. Alramly presented RST with a tender a formal offer to bid for 250 chemical,

biological, radiological and nuclear suits

specifications required by Alramly, so they turned down the bid request. However, Mr. Edwards

proceeded to refer Alramly to Mr. Roumi who had extensive experience procuring hazmat suits in

the Middle East. This was the genesis of the relationship between RST and Alramly.

16. Five months later, on or about September 13, 2021, Mr. Roumi was approached by

Alramly who had a client the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense ivil

Defense that was interested in purchasing 500 suits from RST. The 500 suits were meant to

kick off a direct relationship with the Saudi Civil Defense with promises of future orders to follow.

It is important to note that NATS is intimately familiar with the Saudi Civil Defense. Saudi Civil

Defense is the end client at the center of the ongoing litigation between NATS and RST in the

District Court of Connecticut. See NATS, INC., v. Radiation Shield Technologies, Inc., Case No.

3:21-CV-00430-AWT. RST communicated with NATS before pursuing a business relationship

with Saudi Civil Defense. NATS acknowledged and allowed RST to pursue this relationship to

sell the 1500 suits at the heart of the litigation in the NATS case. Id.

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 5 of 33

21. In March, RST had a contract with Alramly for marketing and distribution of its

products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the beginning of an agreement with Saudi Civil

Defense to tender 500 suits valued at $375,000 with the promise of future orders to come.

22. Had Defendants not tortiously interfered, RST would have effectuated a purchase

contract for readily available goods, netting it $375,000. RST would have also continued its

business relationship with the Saudi Civil Defense who had expressed an interest in ordering a

total of 5000 suits $3,750,000.

23. On March 28, 2022, less than twenty days after the World Defense Show, Mr.

Maswood sent Alramly an email. See Exhibit B.

24. The email is titl

about RST-Florida- Id.

25. In it, Defendants make numerous baseless accusations that question the integrity of

RST and Mr. DeMeo.

26. Most concerning is Defendants indication that the Plaintiff is under investigation

Id. This claim is patently false. There has not been nor is there currently

a criminal investigation into RST. Claims by the Defendant suggesting otherwise are thus

malicious in nature and untrue.

27.

- Id. They claim, without any foundation, that the

making several false statements Id. (emphasis

added). dismissed with

prejudice by the plaintiff, Riguang Equipment, LLC. See Voluntary Dismissal, Riguang

Equipment, LLC, v. Radiation Shield Technologies, Inc., No. 2019-023487-CA-01 (Fla. 11th Cir.

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 6 of 33
6

Ct. Aug. 8, 2021). Plaintiffs have premised their slanderous statements upon a case that was

dismissed with prejudice with at

best that Defendants have accused RST of making false statements by relying on a Dismissed Case

to make baseless and false representations. These false statements have led to the interruption of

business contract with Alramly. By extension, the 500-suit order with the Saudi Civil

Defense has also been interrupted along with the possibility of the 4500 suits to follow.

28. email claims as its address which is

See Exhibit B. The Defendants use this

statement However, the Defendants are in no position to

make claims as to what is normal or abnormal for a suit manufacturer. Furthermore, it was

explained in several communications to Defendants that there was a time when RST had to move

its manufacturing location to a different facility. Thus, RST used a PO Box to ensure that mail

from its customers would never be lost. Defendants were aware of this information, yet they

ignored it and attempted to contort an innocuous fact into a showing of fraud and bad faith leading

to millions in dollars of lost business.

29. Defendants also claim that RST promised goods to them that were never delivered.

Id. Defendants fail to mention that RST made a partial delivery to NATS that was rejected.

Accordingly, not only was this statement malicious, but also false.

30. Finally, the Defendants

Id. They go on to inform Alramly that Mr. Edwards filed papers with the court

informing it that he no longer was with RST. Defendants received this court filing given that they

still went forward and maliciously

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 7 of 33

Id. Defendants condemned RST

for the actions of an employee that no longer worked there.

31. Alramly ceased its business

relationship with RST

marketing and distribution efforts from one of the largest distributors of medical and military

supplies with direct ties to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The tortious interference also cost RST

its business relationship with the Saudi Civil Defense. The 500-suit order was never consummated

costing RST $375,000. The promise of a future order for 4500-suits also never occurred costing

RST an additional $3,375,000.

32. As it stands, RST has not only suffered actual and expected damages, but also

reputational damages. RST has lost out on a direct connection to one of the largest purchasers of

radiation protection suits the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

COUNT I

TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH A CONTRACT MASWOOD & NATS

RST re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs 1-31 of this Complaint as though fully set forth

herein.

33. On or about April 6, 2021, RST and Alramly commenced a business relationship

whereby Alramly

34. On March 6-9, Alramly attended the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

35. On March 15, 2022, RST and Alramly entered into an exclusive distribution

agreement for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 8 of 33

36. Alramly was pursuing a contract with the Saudi Civil Defense to purchase the suits

that NATS had refused to receive.

37. Defendants were aware of this relationship. DeMeo had previously reached out to

Defendants to ask permission to market the suits they had refused to accept.

38. Defendants intentionally and without justification emailed Alramly with the sole

Alramly terminated its contract with RST.

39. This termination cost RST approximately $3,500,000 in current and future orders.

It also cost RST two years of marketing and distribution efforts from one of the largest

distributors Alramly with direct ties to the Government of Saudi Arabia.

WHEREFORE, RST respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment in its favor and

against Defendants, (i) awarding RST compensatory damages; (ii) awarding RST the costs of this

action; and (iii) granting such other and further relief the Court deems just and proper.

COUNT II

TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH AN ADVANTEGOUS BUSINESS

RELATIONSHIP MASWOOD & NATS

RST re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs 1-31 of this Complaint as though fully set forth

herein.

40. On or about September 13, 2021, the Saudi Civil Defense expressed an interest in

purchasing 500 suits from RST. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the largest purchasers of

radiation protection suits in the world.

41. Due to their interest, on March 6-9, Alramly

intensified and they agree to continue negotiations with the possibility of purchasing a total of

5000 suits.

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 9 of 33

42. Defendants intentionally and without justification emailed Alramly with the sole

Alramly terminated its business relationship

with RST. By extension, the contract negotiations with the Saudi Civil Defense fell apart.

43. This termination cost RST approximately $3,500,000 in current and future orders.

In addition, RST suffered reputational damages. RST has been unsuccessful in selling its hazmat

sui

WHEREFORE, RST respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment in its favor and

against Defendants, (i) awarding RST compensatory damages; (ii) awarding RST the costs of this

action; and (iii) granting such other and further relief the Court deems just and proper.

COUNT III

DEFAMATION MASWOOD & NATS

RST re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs 1-30 of this Complaint as though fully set forth

herein.

44. On March 28, 2022, Defendants sent an email to Alramly disparaging RST. See

Exhibit B.

45. The email made several unsubstantiated claims regarding two lawsuits. One filed

by Defendants and another lawsuit in which Defendants are not involved. The claims made in the

email are baseless and malicious in nature.

46. For example, Defendants orted

is a lawsuit filed by an unrelated third party. First, the Defendants have no personal knowledge of

the facts of that lawsuit. Second, and more importantly, the ultimate issue of whether false

statements were made was never decided the case with voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.

Case 1:22-cv-23669-PAS Document 1-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/08/2022 Page 10 of 33
10

47. In another example, they claim that RST took an advance of $335,000 from NATS

See id. Again, this is demonstrably false. RST made a partial

delivery that was rejected by NATS.

48. Defendants acted with the knowledge that their actions would cause RST to lose

Alramly distribution agreement and its relationship with the Saudi Civil Defense.

49. Defendants also knew that making defamatory statements against RST would

irreparably harm its reputation in the region.

WHEREFORE, RST respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment in its favor and

against Defendants, (i) awarding RST compensatory damages; (ii) awarding RST the costs of this

action; and (iii) granting such other and further relief the Court deems just and proper.
