Company went almost bankrupt in 1999 and IMHO will go bankrupt again.

Shareholders and big time! Who earns management !

Last week Aubrey K. McClendon, the CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK), disclosed that he was forced to sell almost his entire holdings of company stock due to a margin call from lenders. The stock sale took three days to complete.  "These involuntary and unexpected sales were precipitated by the extraordinary circumstances of the worldwide financial crisis," McClendon said in a company press release. "In no way do these sales reflect my view of the company's financial position or my view of Chesapeake’s future performance potential
