I know many of you have had trouble with landmen because there have been numerous threads about it, so I thought you would appreciate this short article. Some of us had good experiences, so this doesn't apply to them.

Authorities allege that Candelore used forged signatures, fake companies and forged notary signatures and stamps to acquire mineral rights to four separate blocks of land in Washington County, south of Pittsburgh. The alleged frauds began in 2010 and ended in June, 2012. Candelore also allegedly used the fake names of Dan Kun and Kevin Kelly.

The indictment seeks the forfeiture of nearly $1.2 million in proceeds and could result in prison time and fines.
