Oscar Wyatt is one of the most despised men in all of Texas. . . and that's by the people in the oil biz.
Oscar Wyatt is perhaps the greatest of all the wildcatters. Like Rockefeller, his genius was home grown and he created a true empire. He is mild by comparison to the bad guys of yesteryear in that business. He's an empire builder. He is as much a piece of Texas as is NASA and the Alamo. I have worked in this business for many a year and know people that know him personally. He commands respect that GW nor J F'n K could never. Think illuminatti.
I heard a quote from an oilman a few years ago that went something like this, "Son, you havent worked in the oilpatch until you've been fired at least once by Oscar Wyatt"
He is a democrat, but a fool he is not. I'm sure this story will disappear any day now, sadly. POOF!
