In case you haven’t been paying attention:
Chris Faulkner came to Denton shooting off his mouth about fracking. I got curious, looked into his background, dug up a lot of stuff but not much about being an oil man so I asked: Chris Faulkner of Breitling Energy: Who are you?
Meanwhile, the media embraced him and he was on all the talk shows and invited to consult with governments about fracking. So embarrassing.
Then Faulkner decided to sue me. (He sues people a lot.) I won, he lost. What the judge said…
…this action was brought by Plaintiff Christopher Faulkner to deter or prevent Defendant from exercising her constitutional rights and was brought for an improper purpose, including to harass Defendant and cause her unnecessarily to incur the cost of litigation.
Recently the SEC sued Faulkner for fraud.
Now the FBI seized his pretty cars.
I wonder what’s next. I think orange is a good color for him.
Meanwhile I’ve been contacted by two retired ladies who said they were courted by one of Frack Master’s minions. The guy talked them into investing and they lost their retirement. That’s lower than low.
P. S. Has anybody seen Reaper 247? I’m worried about him. He used to be on the Breitling Investor’s Hub message board everyday singing the praises about Breitling’s stock. He suddenly went missing about the same time Faulkner got busted and there hasn’t been one peep out of him since. It’s the oddest thing: Reaper and Faulkner misspell the same words and use the same terms and phrases. I guess they were really close.

“That’s lower than low.”
As you know, Sharon, we have our differences of opinions, but not with regard to the above. Sad that the money is gone, but at least he has been slowed. There are hundreds of people and companies waiting to fill the void, I’m afraid. There were a number of people in the oil industry who were trying to raise concerns among the public with little success. Interestingly, he did a good job of avoiding interacting with knowledgeable people.
If this story were made into a novel, everyone would think it was preposterous. It is much like a cross between “Being There” and “Catch Me if You Can.”
He certainly was far less than helpful to the petroleum industry.
TXsharon says
I appreciate you despite our differences. If your industry had better behavior, our differences would disappear.
He interacted with me and I am knowledgeable enough to know immediately that he was a fraud. I exposed him and he underestimated me as have many others in the same industry.
If the Federal agencies that have shown an interest in Faulkner are any indication, he will be going to prison. I may visit him there but I’ve mostly lost interest.
Frackmaster II says
I have little doubt he underestimated you. Perhaps I should have said, “tried to avoid.” In any case, one of the amazing things about him and what distinguishes him from thousands of others is his level of hubris. Fortunately, it seems he has invited nemesis.
As far as industry behavior, some companies are better than others and somewhat related, you can rest assured that, as a practical matter, if the environmental agencies allow something, someone will do it.
Losing interest in Faulkner? The interesting stuff is just starting.

Great job

LOL. That’s karma right there.

reaper247 is still around, giving sage advice to investors. Nothing left for him to say on the BECC board. After a year of insulting people and crowing about what a good trader he is, he takes a lot of abuse when he shows up. He never expressly admitted that Breitling was started in 2009, but he did imply I was right. I would wager he is not Faulkner, while acknowledging I might lose that bet. Agent? Perhaps.

Reaper makes the same spelling mistakes and uses the same phrasing as Faulkner so maybe they share a brain. Also, way back, I remember Reaper slipping up and replying as Faulkner rather than as a person who only knows Faulkner’s company well. At any rate, the SEC knows about Reaper so they can figure it all out, which wouldn’t take much at all. Nothing one does on the internet is anonymous despite pseudonyms.

I’m so sorry.
Jean says
I am wondering if Chris is related to Danny Faulkner Sr. He was a developer in Dallas that went to prison for fraud related to the 80s savings and loan debacle. He could be his grandson.
TXsharon says
A lot of people are wondering that. I did not find any mention of his father anywhere. I’m sure someone has done that research and knows the answer.
