Yeah, definitely a suicide.

He was looking at 10 years. Probably knew he was gonna have to do atleast a few years.

He likely would've just did a few years, get out at 60 with 3-500 million and still be set for life.

Sometimes with these guys they're so consumed by image and power that they just can't live in a world where people look at them differently. Can't accept being marginalized after being on top for so long.

Could've been some other demons too. Been a tough few years for CHK with Nat Gas freefalling.

Yup......its more about his image & how he will be looked at. Some people can handle it while others can't.......most people knowing they will be worth over $300 million after a few years away would take it......but its not about money for him because he's lived the rich lifestyle for so long, its all about image......its a shame that he finished his life this way.

Not only part owner, he was one of the people who were primarily responsible for getting the Thunder here. Plus the things he has done for OKC, and the improvements he has made will never be equaled. Without him the city would still look like a piece of shit. But I guess he did have his demons when it came to money. Love of money has kilt more than just a few. Probably best not to put all of our eggs in THAT basket. I don't know if they'll ever know FOR SURE if it was a suicide since it was a brutal fiery scene. But it had to be either suicide or a case of impeccable timing given that he was just indicted.
