The clear intent of FOF was to use King’s expertise, as it did that of other account advisers, to locate and purchase speculative investments in oil, gas, and mineral assets. FOF had no means of valuing the assets proposed for investment and no means of participating in any work requirements. FOF’s dependence was encouraged by King in two ways: King’s own corporate documents represented that KRC was an investment adviser to FOF, and its prospect summaries barely outlined the geologic and financial information that would be necessary for an informed, independent investment decision.
