Thanks to a heads-up via the Ogle Mole Network, we’ve learned that Continental Resources has reached a settlement deal with Robert “Spaulding” Hefner the Vth and dropped their well-publicized lawsuit against him.
This is usually the section of the article where I provide a quick recap of the lawsuit, who was involved, and what it was about—but there are so many motions, characters, and lawyers intertwined in the company’s legal revenge drama that it’s hard to keep everyone straight.
I guess the simple gist is that way back in 2022, Spaulding was part of a large group of local aspiring conspirator bros who allegedly tried to defraud Continental out of millions by illegally obtaining its data and trade secrets.
This pissed off Continental founder and CEO Lord Harold Hamm – the billionaire Oil Overlord who oversees Oklahoma’s Western Reach – who then sued everyone involved to claw back the money the company claimed it lost, and to shame, humiliate, and maybe even imprison those who dared cross him.
At first, a defiant Hefner tapped into his mom’s DNA and stubbornly denied the allegations...
"The allegations are false, and I look forward to the opportunity to address these claims."
