This letter contains everything we know about the Red Diamond Energy Corporation and it’s scam.

Drake McBride’s (See government file 1978f7stz1 for more info on Drake McBride) very wealthy father was very fed up with his son. His father gave him many companies to own, yet in the end, all of his companies failed and he lost significant amounts of money. Drake McBride’s father gave his son his last chance to own a company and make a fortune: the Red Diamond Energy Corporation, an oil drilling company. Drake McBride, who was the president of the company, decided to move start it in Florida, because there were too many drilling operations in Texas, so there was lots of competition.
Since Drake McBride barely knew anything about the oil drilling industry, he hired Jimmy Lee Bayliss, a retired man who had experience from ExxonMobil who was to be the project manager for the Red Diamond Energy …show more content…
First, (as stated in Jimmy Lee Bayliss’s confession) the police (a man named Detective Jason Marshall) tracked down the buyer of the two butane torches and they were led to the conclusion that Jimmy Lee Bayliss set the fire and framed a minor who had a history of arson. The police knew that Jimmy Lee Bayliss framed the kid to keep the Red Diamond Energy Corporation’s scam a secret , so Drake McBride was eventually arrested, too. Drake McBride was also charged for trying to shoot a panther and escaping the police. Finally, (before the two men were arrested) someone by the name of George W. Hayduke gave a fish and game warden the GPS coordinates to some panther poop in the Black Vine

    Pinedale Pros And Cons

    The regularly acknowledged issues of oilfield drilling are clearly faced in Pinedale, and these issues have been handled nicely in both the Jonah field and the Pinedale anticline. In a personal interview with Pinedale’s local high school energy explorations teacher, Debra Noble, the effects of the oilfield on both the citizens of the town, as well as its environmental impacts are discussed. The teacher points out that throughout Sublette County, most of the wells are located on public land which is thought to make the “operators take better care of the land. They have to follow all of the BLM's guidelines and make sure that they monitor wildlife, air quality, water quality, and recreational opportunities.” While, in areas of the country where all the wells are on private land, the companies are able to cut corners and not be as environmentally conscious.…

    How Did Jp Morgan Contribute To The Rise Of Sharecropping?

    After the Civil War a lot southerners wanted to go back to the plantation life that the region had been characterized by before the war but a few prominent leaders believed that the South should move onto a “new society of small farms, thriving industries, and bustling cities” (Tindall 560). Unfortunately, many farmers could not afford wages and a system of sharecropping was developed where the farmer paid no wages, the worker paid no rent and the two shared the crop they mutually produced. The change led to more intense cultivation and the New South’s biggest accomplishment became their expansion of the region’s textile production. The popularity of cotton mills and tobacco growing grew significantly larger after the Civil War and it was thought that everyone in the South was getting rich, but most southern farmers weren’t flourishing.…
