Oil baron CEO claims he was subject of ‘sham' swinger rumors so rival could steal his job: lawsuit
What a crude awakening. The co-founder and CEO of a wealthy Colorado-based energy firm accused an inner-company rival of spreading 'sham' rumors that he and his wife were swingers at a local country club to steal his job, according to a lawsuit. Michael Duginski, of Sentinel Peak Resources in Denver, was axed by his company in May after being sent a memo that he had allegedly exhibited 'unacceptable behavior in the workplace,' according to the lawsuit obtained by BusinessDen. Michael Duginski claims he was axed by his oil firm after his rival co-founder spread rumors that he and his wife were swingers. Crescent Energy Group Duginksi was placed on leave, but his company board allegedly refused to tell him what he was being accused of. After an ominous investigation and a probe, he was fired by the three other members of the company's board, the lawsuit filed last Monday claimed. The former oil baron said the decision to fire him started from rumors over his sexual proclivities spread by jealous co-founder George Ciotti, who took over his job as CEO when he was ousted, court records stated. In July, Duginski had several 'revealing' conversations at the Glenmoor Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, where he learned that Ciotti spread rumors that he and his wife were swingers and had sexual relationships with others outside their marriage, the filing claimed. Ciotti allegedly launched a 'sham investigation' against Duginski to 'create a vacancy for the role he coveted,' the lawsuit said. 'This accusation is untrue, and Mr. Ciotti knew it was false but wanted to harm Mr. Duginski's reputation,' the document said. Duginski had several 'revealing' conversations at the Glenmoor Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, leading him to learn about the rumors. Instagram Duginski is suing Sentinel Peak Resources for $650,000 in back wages, $3 million that he invested in the company and the value of his company stock — in addition to suing Ciotti for defamation. 'Colleagues within his community and industry now have misconceptions about his character,' the filing alleged. Sentinel Peak Resources is a portfolio company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and gas assets, according to its company website. A representative of the company did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

SoFi Stock Is Tearing Higher After Q2 Earnings. Is It Too Late to Buy SOFI Here?
SoFi Technologies (SOFI) has evolved into a full-fledged digital financial platform, offering everything from banking to investing. This past week, the company grabbed headlines with blowout second-quarter earnings, raised full-year guidance, and clear signs that it is chipping away at legacy banks' market share. The post-earnings surge was followed by a dip on news of a $1.5 billion public share offering. However, SOFI stock has regained its footing, still above the $21 level seen before the July 29 earnings release. More News from Barchart Find Winning Momentum Trades With This Moving Average Stock Screener Tariffs, Earnings and Other Can't Miss Items this Week This Blue-Chip Dividend Stock Is Stuck in the Tariff Crosshairs. Can Cost Cuts Save the Day? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. With strong revenue acceleration, improving profitability, and a capital-light model gaining traction, SoFi's core engine looks well-tuned. Still, with its high valuation and a few skeptics on Wall Street, investors are left wondering — especially after this wild week — whether it's too late to grab SOFI stock. About SoFi Stock Founded in 2011, San Francisco-based SoFi is rewriting the personal finance playbook with sleek technology and bold execution. With more than 11 million members, it spans lending, financial services, and a robust tech platform across the U.S. and beyond. SoFi's all-in-one digital ecosystem is shaking up legacy banking, proving that fintech is already here. Its market capitalization currently stands at $23.5 billion. SOFI stock has surged 197% over the past 52 weeks and risen 70% in the last three months, breaking out to a new 52-week high of $25.11 on July 29 following strong Q2 results and raised guidance. That said, the rally paused after a $1.5 billion equity offering triggered dilution concerns. Technically, volume remains elevated, and RSI has pulled back from overbought levels, signaling a possible consolidation phase within a still-intact bullish trend structure. SoFi's overall rally is hard to ignore, but its price tag is not for the faint-hearted. Trading at 71 times forward earnings and 9.3 times sales, it is well above that of the legacy banks. That's premium pricing, no question. But SoFi is not chasing old-school playbooks — it is scaling fast, stacking users, and rewriting the digital finance script. Sure, it's expensive. But if investors are betting on the future of fintech, the recent dip could be their shot before the next leg higher. SoFi's Record Q2 Results and Sharper Outlook On July 29, SoFi delivered a Q2 report that didn't just beat expectations, but smashed them. The company posted adjusted revenue of $858.2 million, up 44% year-over-year (YOY), while adjusted net income rocketed 459% to $97.3 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.08, a sevenfold increase from the $0.01 reported a year ago. The growth was not limited to the top and bottom lines. SoFi added 850,000 new members, pushing its total to 11.7 million, and also racked up 1.26 million new products, bringing the tally to 17.1 million. Both of these figures rose 34% YOY. Fee-based revenue jumped 72% to $377.5 million, led by SoFi's Loan Platform Business, which originated $2.4 billion in third-party loans and pulled in $130.6 million in revenue on its own. Lending was a clear standout. The company funded a record $8.8 billion in loans, including personal loan originations which rose 66% annually, student loans which grew 35%, and home lending which soared 92%. On the tech side, SoFi's Galileo and Apex platforms brought in nearly $110 million, up 15%, while SoFi also stepped back into crypto and teased new AI-driven initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and member experience. Fueled by the blowout quarter, SoFi raised its full-year 2025 outlook. Management now expects adjusted net revenue of $3.375 billion, up from the previous guidance range of $3.235 billion to $3.31 billion. That implies 30% annual growth. Adjusted EBITDA is projected at $960 million as well, up from a prior $875 million to $895 million range, with margins climbing to 28%. Net income is now forecast at $370 million, and full-year EPS is guided to be $0.31, both topping earlier estimates. Wall Street seems aligned with these expectations. Analysts believe SoFi will post 2025 EPS of $0.32, marking 113% annual growth, with another 75% lift to $0.56 expected in 2026. If SoFi can stay the course, it's setting up for a potential breakout year. What Do Analysts Expect for SoFi Stock? Wall Street's outlook on SoFi after Q2 earnings is a mix of optimism and caution. Jefferies analyst John Hecht remains firmly in the bullish camp, having lifted his price target to $27 with a 'Buy' rating. Hecht sees SoFi's beat-and-raise quarter as reflecting momentum that could carry through to year-end. Meanwhile, Mizuho has doubled down on SoFi, boosting the price target to $26 from $20 and reaffirming an 'Outperform' rating. The firm praised SoFi's 'very strong' Q2 across all key metrics, spotlighting $9.5 billion in annualized lending volume and 90% growth in home lending as major strengths, especially in a weak housing market. Mizuho also bumped its 2025 revenue forecast to $3.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA forecast to $965 million. Still, others are pumping the brakes. BTIG kept a 'Hold" on SOFI stock, noting that the recent rally might already reflect most of the good news. BTIG acknowledged upside in SoFi's crypto and investment products, but questioned its ability to scale fast enough to seriously rival players like Robinhood (HOOD). TD Cowen analyst Moshe Orenbuch echoed that caution, keeping a 'Hold' and $22 target. The analyst praised SoFi's platform momentum and strategic partnerships but warned of slower growth ahead. Despite SoFi's Q2 blowout, not everyone on Wall Street is buying the hype. SOFI stock has an overall consensus 'Hold' rating. Out of 23 analysts covering the fintech stock, only five advise a 'Strong Buy' rating and two recommend a 'Moderate Buy.' Meanwhile, 11 analysts play it safe with a 'Hold,' two mark SOFI as a 'Moderate Sell,' and three recommend a 'Strong Sell" rating. SoFi is showing no signs of slowing down and has already surged past the average analyst price target of $18.52.
