Achillefs "Lucky" Scouras filed a lawsuit March 17 in Kanawha Circuit Court against Amerex Corp., Joseph Pircon, individually and as an officer of Amerex Corp., and Brian McMahon, individually and as an officer of Amerex Corp., citing wrongful discharge, tortious interference with business relations and violation of the Wage Payment and Collection Act.
