Dear valued subscribers,

Welcome to Don't Miss Reads, our weekly newsletter highlighting some of our editors' favorite stories, photos and videos that you might have missed.

I'm David Dishman, business editor at The Oklahoman. This week we published details from the latest in a series of somewhat related lawsuits involving Continental Resources and several independent operators.

The various lawsuits (which have been filed intermittently going back to last summer) paint a complicated picture of alleged fraud, possible Watergate-like behavior and more. The latest accuses Robert Hefner V of a scheme involving mineral rights.

I have found the whole thing fascinating to read as reporter Jack Money follows the updates through the court system. I hope you will enjoy the read, as well.

Below are links to more of our editors' favorite stories of the past week or beyond. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
