Thanks for coming. The umbutment left out at him. Never mind the millions in debt.
any connection to the Clintons?
Looks like suicide by abutment.
Suicide by immovable object?
Coal is dirty guy?
Line of credit ran out. Note due.
Wasn’t there an investigative reporter who was “on to something” who died under similar circumstances shortly after indicating he was in fear of his life?
Wish Hillary had that kind of honor.
I recall the Enron guy died before he was convicted as well, so they couldn’t sue his estate - he took one for the family.
And the stock is up 25%??? Bet it goes down soon so the ‘conspirators’ can buy it up cheap.
The usual single vehicle suicide crash into an abutment.
Sad, people really should not do this. He could have survived jail.

Police said McClendon’s car veered off center and crashed into a road median, with “plenty of opportunity” to correct its course and get back on the roadway, according to police.
The car was going well above the 40 miles-per-hour speed limit on the two-lane highway, police said. The vehicle was “completely burned” and McClendon was its sole occupant. An investigation will determine if the former CEO was wearing a seat belt and whether he tried to hit the brakes.
Flashback.

McClendon says he’s behind Duke ads Chesapeake CEO purchased ads praising lacrosse team for ‘standing tall’
By Darnell Mayberry
Published: June 6, 2007 Updated: Jun 6, 2007
Aubrey McClendon, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, said Tuesday that he is the anonymous Oklahoma City oilman who purchased several full-page newspaper advertisements along the East Coast praising the Duke men’s lacrosse team.
McClendon, a 1981 Duke graduate, said he got the idea from a fellow alumnus who purchased a full-page ad in USA Today immediately following the Blue Devils’ national championship loss to Johns Hopkins last week.
McClendon crafted his own version and paid $400,000 for full-page ads to run in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Raleigh News & Observer and Durham Herald-Sun. McClendon’s ads praised Duke’s players for “standing tall during extraordinarily difficult circumstances over the past 15 months.”
The Duke men’s lacrosse team played only eight games last season before the university canceled the remaining schedule after a woman alleged she was raped at a March 2006 team party. Three players were indicted but eventually cleared of all charges.
McClendon said he wanted to fund the ads completely anonymously, but newspapers prohibit anonymous advertising. McClendon, whose son, Jack, is a rising senior at Duke and has roomed with a member of the lacrosse team for the past two years, then funded the ads under a generic name, “The Duke Lacrosse Booster Club of Oklahoma City.”
“I knew these young men, and from the minute it happened I knew that they didn’t do it,” McClendon said. “I knew that they probably hadn’t used the best judgment having the party and all that. But I knew that they were not guilty. I knew they were innocent of what they had been accused of.
“I knew that the truth would come out in time, and when it did I wanted to celebrate for these young men publicly their achievements on the field and off the field this year.”
McClendon, who attended the championship game with his wife, Kathleen, a 1980 Duke grad, said he has received positive feedback from the ads, particularly from the team’s players and their families.
“Perfection would have been great,” McClendon said of Duke’s 12-11 championship loss. “Justice would have been served, and if they score that last goal, it’s a fairytale ending.
“It’s a reminder that life isn’t always a fairytale, and these guys know that better than others. They might have been destined to come up a goal short in that game, but they have to be exceptionally proud of themselves for hanging together as a team and making it all that way.”
McClendon agreed with the NCAA’s ruling that permitted Duke lacrosse players another year of eligibility after losing much of their season last year.
“Clearly, in my view, it’s absolutely the right thing for the NCAA to do,” McClendon said. “And sometimes the NCAA seems pretty tone deaf about issues like this, and it’s nice to see them get it right.”
Oklahoma City Police said in a news conference Wednesday that Mr. McClendon, the former chief executive of Chesapeake Energy Corp., was found dead after driving into a wall at a high rate of speed. Authorities were trying to determine whether the crash was the source of his death or whether he had suffered a health issue beforehand.
The indictment Tuesday alleged that Mr. McClendon orchestrated a campaign to keep bid prices down from 2007 to 2012, while he was chief executive of Chesapeake, amid a land-leasing boom across the U.S.
Mr. McClendon, 56 years old, had vigorously contested the charges in a statement Tuesday evening.
“The charge that has been filed against me today is wrong and unprecedented,” he said. “All my life I have worked to create jobs in Oklahoma, grow its economy, and to provide abundant and affordable energy to all Americans. I am proud of my track record in this industry, and I will fight to prove my innocence and to clear my name.”
The Department of Justice said in a statement Tuesday that McClendon was suspected of orchestrating a scheme between two large energy companies, which are not named in the indictment, from December 2007 to March 2012. The companies would decide ahead of time who would win bids, with the winner then allocating an interest in the leases to the other company, according to the statement.
2013 Chevy Tahoe? With OnStar?
Hmmmmmmm..
Unions got him.
The global oligarchy does not allow its puppets to give court testimony or out the boss of CIA as their stooge.
I retired from his company. Knew him and was in several meetings with him. Billionaire who would be king when natural gas was $13. Just is what it is. Sad all the way around
