Yep, Steve York a salesman.  After all he sold his leases to Treaty and they turned out to be worth..... well, they turned out..... let's just leave it at that.  So yep, he was a salesman who sold his "stuff" to Treaty for a bunch of shares and a contract for a bunch of money per month.  I don't think the company made any money off of Steve York's involvement at all.  You might want to call them and check it out, if they will tell you.  Good luck with that.
