Isn’t that the point of being wealthy?
Faulkner allegedly used that card to charge more than $1 million in personal travel, expenses for personal escorts and nights out on the town, according to the suit. In one four-day period in July 2014, the SEC alleged, he spent nearly $40,000 at a single Dallas gentleman’s club.
Something any would be influential right winger dreams of.
Always some good exploratory drilling to be had in such club’s so I’ll bet he wrote it off as a biddness expense.
You cant charge that to the company’s credit card. You can do what you want with your own money.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Dallas, accused Faulkner of misappropriating “at least $30 million in investor funds to maintain a lifestyle of decadence and debauchery.”
Don’t the Republicans feel stupid now, having voted for Trump instead of this guy. Makes Trump University look like a lemonade stand.
Excuse me for a few minutes please while I call Amex regarding their Whore card. I had aspired to their Centurion card, but, um, this one may have better benefits. I wonder if they’ll open these in airports as well?
Interesting that it was the SEC that brought this guy up on fraud charges and not the Attorney General of Texas. Had it been a Texas legal matter alone, all he would have had to do is, run for some prominent office in the government, shell out a few bribes to drop a few lawsuits, and bam, Bob’s your uncle!
Much to do about hookers? Isn’t fracking all about horizontal drilling anyways?
No, it’s actually about the injection of pressurized fluids, so everything’s good with his whore card.
An $80 million scheme to fund an extravagant lifestyle sounds like successful free market entrepreneurship. Why does the SEC hate American capitalism?
We don’t need regulations people! Get the gubmint out of our business!
Leo DiCaprio’s next Oscar winning role?
If we don’t give the hardworking job creators like Chris Faulkner a tax cut, he just might take his marbles to Galt’s Gulch and leave us sheep without anyone to fleece us.
Once you start shallow drilling it must get habit-forming…
They only say that when people are doing stuff to other peoples land. When it comes to their homes and properties you can make damn sure there will be some government protection.
Now Josh Duggar has a hero to look up to.
I hope this article doesn’t lead anyone to believe this guy is the only Frackenmeister involved in fraud, with a sideline of debauchery. As a Texan, I’ve seen landowners, investors, their own employees. and regular folks across the state held down and screwed for all they had by these bastards. Guess that goes for the party gals as well …
Seriously. Why bother stealing $80M if you’re just going to spend it on sensible things?
“The American Express Whore Card - Don’t Leave Home Without It”
Membership has its benefits, indeed.
Fracking and f__king, they are basically the same thing in many ways…
It wasn’t his money, it belonged to investors, who were lied to. This is exactly what Progressives are fighting against. When there is a lack of regulation and oversight this is what you get. This type of thing happens over & over again.
