Also known is that Ryan works for an attorney, who is representing Williams Energy in a dispute between Clayton Williams and the city of Fort STockton, because he wants to take the water from the land he owns there and pipe it to Midland. Apparently Fort Stockton objects to him taking water from them. Hmm, wonder why?
I think the whole thing smells like a barrel of rotting fish, but no apparent laws have been broken. The land is owned by Clayton Williams and Williams Energy, yes, and Ryan lives on the land and is paid to live there, yes, but there is no thing wrong with that according to the law.
