With a lifetime of ties to Oklahoma, it’s been uncanny to notice how many of the state’s legendary businesses successes turn into falling stars.
The latest wobbling success story is Chesapeake Energy, the Aubrey McClendon energy empire now reportedly threatened by its CEO’s internal loans.
Chesapeake has been one of Oklahoma City’s shining jewels in Bricktown revitalization, and McClendon has been active in that downtown revival, including his piece of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, so any corporate problems would be a huge blow to the city and the state.
Something to watch.
