"A judge ruled Tuesday that the company will go to trial for allegedly defrauding private landowners in Oklahoma during oil and gas leasing sales in 2010, Reuters said.
The racketeering charge carries a fine of up to $100,000. The 20 counts of using false pretenses carry fines of up to $10,000 per count or triple the value of the money or property involved, whichever is greater."
So are these people Americans or Russians?
