When i saw the first sports arena named for... and trucks given away to local communities in the name of the company that will not be mentioned... i knew this wouldn't end well.  i no longer have a dog in the fight... at least i don't think i do.  but i still own less than 200 shares of the company that will not be mentioned... just so i can have a small say in how they do business.

And to this day... most oil/gas companies complain wildly when royalty owners seek extreme protections when negotiating leases.  It's nice to trust... but get it on paper and signed by all parties... even the attachments and amendments!

Maybe Chesapeake, like many other O&G companies, are using the DWRRA Act of 1995 and it's amendments to avoid paying royalties to the Fed's.

Chesapeake got into financial trouble and told its staff to screw everyone possible until they sue and then appeal it.  I would bet the number of lawsuits is in the hundreds one including me.
