Yes, I believe it was under Larry McGary. He has been asked to leave and attorney's for The Rock Investment Group have filed to have him legally removed. This is as of December 2011.
He may have published fancy documents and sweet-talked a lot of people, but the bottom line is that a lot of money was put in and nothing has come out.
Do an internet search and you can see all sorts of documents posted that are related to this.
He took many people's money, bought cheap land leases in Elko, NV and then did what is considered wildcat drilling. From people who were aware of how he was operating, there were many financial discrepancies, hence the reason he has been removed.
There is little evidence that the area where he is drilling will yield oil.
However, I think the new Board is trying to salvage something. There were rumors that someone wanted to buy their leases, but I believe that was Larry trying to build up some hype.
Larry has SEC sanctions against him in Florida and in Idaho.
Stay far away.

It's a fraudulent investment scheme that works on a "pyramid concept" where the initial investers are paid abnormally high returns on their investment from money received from subsequent investors. With those returns providing "legitimacy" to the investment - the "schemer" can use that documented information to bait people with bigger bucks into the scheme. Because there is not an acutal investment in a company or other entity to generate money - the scheme will cave leaving those investors S.O.L. and the "schemer" who with any luck (on his part) has probably already left the country and has a numbered bank account in the Caymans! Watch the national news. There's a big one under investigation right now.
No, Homeowners Insurance is Property Coverage, not financial or Investment Insurance.
The definition of a ponzi scheme is that ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from profits earned by the individual or organization running the operation.
It is The Rock Investment Group - TRIG. Larry McGary used to be president, but the current board has ousted him legally. He took a lot of money and while there are some leases and equipment purchased,, a lot of the money can't be accounted for.
