Forbes ran an article in February about how Chesapeake has been systematically cheating royalty owners out of their royalties.  While pretty much everyone knows that Chesapeake has been stiffing people on royalty payments, I hadn’t realized just how wide spread the practice was.  This article was an eye opener for me.  If anyone who reads this has been receiving royalty payments from Chesapeake, you absolutely must spend some time reading your old check stubs to make sure you were paid the right amount.
