As I mentioned in another post, Southwestern had a primary business address in Bedford, TX. Whitepages.com suggests that that same address was once that of Christopher Faulkner. In other words, it looks like CF came up with the idea of buying his own company and issuing a press release talking about the deal they negotiated. Among other things, I do not think this is true:
Now, Joe Simo likely has 30 years experience, but I seriously doubt he contracted with Breitling Oil and Gas or anyone else to remain for five years as management of Southwest. What would be the point? I also doubt Southwest was a local leader in oil and gas exploration. Bottom line is that it is my opinion that CF’s persona of international oilman and “The Frackmaster” is a fabrication and no one bothered to even ask him about the inconsistencies, not the Dallas Morning News, not the Wall Street Journal, and not the Dallas Observer. If I am wrong, it would seem it would be easy to correct my misconception, and I would hope someone would. I also do not think CF had any influence whatsoever in frac’ing thousands of wells and, really, I doubt he had an interest of any sort in thousands of frac’ed wells. I cannot prove that, but surely his story strains the credulity of any thinking person. Again, it should be easy to prove my opinion and doubts wrong.
BTW, CF signed the application for Reinstatement of Southwest on 11/09/2009. These applications must be signed by a manager.
OK, recap. I said CF had been in the oil business for ten years and that Breitling had been around for six or eight years. Would someone like to tell me again how I was wrong, because I still don't see it.
