Forbes writes: “Lynn and Charles’ daughter Stacy became co-CEO of Samson Resources in 1999 and the sole CEO in 2005. Under Stacy Schusterman’s leadership, the family sold most of the company’s assets to a KKR-led group for $7.2 billion in 2011. Under KKR’s leadership, Samson filed for bankruptcy in 2015, burdened with too much debt as oil prices fell.”
