[QUOTE="stevew, post: 218752, member: 130"] The IPO wasn’t very clear of who owned what. I would assume the original 3, Chris, Pamela and Cliff kept at least 10% each and Bobby and Sue Ellen each bought 35%, heavy in debt. But your assumption that they bought 50% each, even more in debt, could be valid (but would require the original 3 to be paid something of the money he raised. I could see Pamela let her son keep that money. And I could see Pamela turn that money over to Josephine, especially as she’d get Cliff’s share). They had better be careful to not just follow Chris’s long term idea, but make some money quick or they’ll default on their loan. Carlos seems the type he’d step up and take the company as soon as he can instead of let someone play around with his money. Are you planning to mention Carlos? I though he was a great character she could have developed better. Are you planning to mention Pamela’s inheritance from Cliff? Oh not only entitled, I toss in Cliff’s estate and the case being a slam dunk. In fact if the 3 were not compensated Bobby and Sue Ellen could be looking at serious jail time. What they would have done is steal the company in a massive heist and then use South Forks oil to pay their debt. Miss Ellie would be rolling in her grave and they would have pulled off a dirty deal only JR could have dreamed of. Also, there could be a case for John Ross to argue that Miss Ellie’s trust (which must have been the arrangement to protect it from estate taxes and leave 1/2 to John Ross after JR’s death) included the mineral rights. There’s no reason to believe it didn’t. And if it didn’t John Ross is entitled to 1/2 not 1/6. And here’s the kicker, he doesn’t have to lease it to Ewing Global. He could lease it to his own company. Plus he force Bobby to split the land instead of sharing it together. Plus he could take half the cattle business for himself and use the South Fork name. Then the war over the house could get nasty. He could do all sorts of things to make Bobby unhappy in the house. He is entitled to 1/2 and Bobby acting otherwise is again stealing, this fund from his nephew and mother. Honestly the new JR in TNT’s story was Bobby. [/QUOTE]
