Faulkner and his co-Defendants duped hundreds of people out of millions of dollars by intentionally and repeatedly lying about several aspects of the investments, including the relationships between and among the Defendants, Faulkner’s industry experience, the nature and operation of the investments, the estimated costs to drill and complete the prospects, the use of investor proceeds, and the projected oil and gas production that investors could expect. Told you so, reaper. (Sorry, I just had to say it.) Not litigated yet, but I would say this is one of many red flags.
