Aubrey had a chance to get back on the highway, but chose not to. McClendon died on Wednesday in Oklahoma after being indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday. He was indicted for rigging bids to buy leases of oil and natural gas.
According to the Department of Justice, Aubrey began a scheme with two energy corporations between 2007 and 2012. The agreement was for the companies to avoid bidding against each other.

McClendon left Chesapeake in 2013 following a controversy in his tenure. During this time, oil prices greatly reduced causing the company millions. Investors were concerned about the pricing, which cost Aubrey his annual bonus. He left the company that same year.
Despite his exit, his legacy still stood as a top shale gas producer in the industry. He initiated Chesapeake’s footing in Appalachia, which emerged as a renowned gas production center in the country. Aubrey’s leadership and passion for the oil and gas industry effected community in a great way. However, controversy still clung to him even after he left Chesapeake. Aubrey was accused of collaborating with a competitor to maintain low prices of the drilling rights.
Stepping down from Chesapeake did not shutter McClendon’s dreams. He founded his company where he was the C.E.O. His net worth after leaving Chesapeake was $35.6 billion. McClendon was known for working hard, and playing harder. He enjoyed the best things that money can buy. Aubrey spent lavishly by buying big homes, antique boats ad a wine cellar.
