Frack Master Chris Faulkner Arrested on Felony Charges

By

Frack Master is in the slammer.

Update: Criminal theft charges. $3000 for copies made in Plano. So much irony.

Previous Updates are at the end.

Dear Wounded,

Frack Master Chris Faulkner is in the Los Angeles County Jail for felony charges. He is being held without bail.

That doesn’t get your retirement money back or get your invoices paid, but it might mean he won’t be pulling another scam on the general public anytime soon.

Previous postings about Frack Master

Update 2/23/17: The Dallas News has a story up. Dallas ‘Frack Master’ arrested by Los Angeles Airport police.

Update 2/24/17: New information below. His court date is March 8 and he can now have visitors. I had a generous offer of airfare so I could visit the Frack Master. But I had to decline because there are so many scumbag gasholes left to expose and that’s my prioroty.

But oily, oozing, creepy frauds like him are a dime a dozen in the oil and gas business. There’s another one lurking around every corner.

Remember that his fraud charges that we know about are civil not criminal. This arrest may be unrelated to the fraud. It’s rumored that the man likes cocaine.

UPDATE: His charges were dismissed so he is on the loose again. Watch your wallets. I’ll let you know when I find out what the charges were.

  1. Got himself popped at LAX, huh? Probably explains the No Bail, as pretty sure being at LAX he was on his way out of the country. Looks like he can’t have any visitors, so I guess we’ll have to wait to ask if he wants to sell the ‘frackmaster.com’ domain name.

  3. But, if an Exec for a wind or solar power company had done the same things, frackers would say it’s proof that non-fossil fuels are not viable. Go figure.

  4. For the record, you have one of the shittiest blogs I have ever come across. YOU alone are the sole reason there is something seriously wrong with the media. You are the epitome of what destroys the dissemination of current events. You have an incredible talent of contaminating people’s minds with something I call lack of a better word, ‘BULLSHIT’. Following up on one person affiliated with one specific oil company is so insignificant as opposed to the massive size of the oil industry field. You have some serious issues, and should probably find something better to do with your life. CLEARLY current news is not your forté, considering this article is nothing but a screenshot of an arrest you know absolutely nothing about. Maybe take an online research class to learn how to derive facts about a topic, since I’m almost positive you are nothing a coward hiding behind your computer screen.

    • You might be right. This might be the shittiest blog ever and maybe I need to get a life.

      But, at least I know my name. So Brynn, just remember that two names, one IP address means you might be a sock puppet.

      For a comms and PR senior, your communication skills are a bit subpar, Hun.

    • One person with one company? What about:

      “Aubrey Kerr McClendon (July 14, 1959 – March 2, 2016) was an American businessman and the founder and chief executive officer of American Energy Partners, LP. He was also the co-founder, chief executive officer and chairman of Chesapeake Energy. He was an outspoken advocate for natural gas as an alternative to oil and coal fuels. He was a pioneer in employing fracking, a controversial fuel extraction technique which has been widely criticized on environmental grounds.

      On March 1, 2016, McClendon was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiring “to rig bids for the purchase of oil and natural gas leases in northwest Oklahoma”.[3][4] He died the following day, March 2, 2016, in a single-vehicle collision.”

    • BRynn … I bet you were one of the scumbags hanging out with Frack-douchebag when he was hiding out in Venice (Beach), CA. He (Chris) lived across the street from me; and his mom and friends like you were total losers.
      He also stopped paying rent and was illegally renting out apt via AirBNB without the owners permission.

  5. You actually should get your facts straight. Maybe get a life as well? You are living life through an online blog that is posting false information about someone who you know nothing about. Keep living through the internet and I’ll pray for your well being. I hope your mental disorder gets treated ASAP. Have a good day. PEACE.

    • If you are defending Chris Faulkner, you are the one who doesn’t know facts. As someone who has personally dealt with him (unless he has found Jesus and repented) is one of the biggest lowlifes I’ve ever encountered. Justice is long overdue for his life of deceit, thievery, and intimidation. He deserves worse.

    • well the story was just picked up by dallas and published so give it a few hours and it will be everywhere, again.

  7. First hand experience with the Breitling group here and everything released by the SEC is accurate. The company operated as a huge ponzi scheme. Read the 60+ page indictment, follow up with subs and investors that were told a complete lie and then make a decision based on the facts. It seems the civil indictment stuck and it may be on to criminal charges which are about three years past due.

  8. He was moved from MEN’S CENTRAL JAIL to NORTH COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY; not loose yet, or so it looks like. EX stands for Extradition.

    • If you click on the case number, it says dismissed. However, I have no experience figuring out the codes on arrest records so I don’t actually know what I’m talking about.

      • I researched the courtroom he was suppose to be in and it serves mostly drug charges. I did hear he was with someone when he was arrested.

  9. I have personal knowledge of Chris Faulkner’s business dealings in the years before he stumbled onto his “Frack Master” persona. He was a fruadulent deadbeat then, and it strains the imagination to think he changed his spots. I have faith that ultimately, either karma, the SEC, or the good Lord above – maybe all three – will see that he faces justice.

  12. UPDATE…
    Arraignment: Christopher A. Faulkner
    3/23/2017 13:00 Hours

    • Thank you for keeping us updated. There’s not much content available at this time. Maybe they don’t have it all posted yet.

      • it looks like it was reset for another time – his mother is his attorney. I’m pretty sure they will just keep pushing it back.

  14. I knew Chris when he operated C I Host, the web hosting company. It’s way past time that the law caught up with him. Sad to see what he’s gotten away with for years. He probably would have been behind bars years ago if it weren’t for his mother being an attorney.

  15. TXSharon,
    You and others are right that there is nothing unique about Faulkner or Breitling. The reason to follow him is that he is a quintessential example of a very common practice. (Assuming he did what is alleged, blah, blah, blah). It is why that if you are not trained for years with supervision, you should simply not invest in the oil business, unless maybe it’s with your sister whose success you have watched for years.

    But it’s not just the oil industry. Can you think of any other freakishly successful frauds that no amount of evidence or reason will shake his supporters?

    Well, Faulkner’s investors were warned starting before he bought out an empty shell of a corporation to avoid the IPO process. WSJ reporters were warned in 2013. What else can one do?
