Pretty transparent in the following sense. They based their numbers on current financial status (as of June 2021) and made several projections/several scenarios, including BSA emerging from bankruptcy in August 2021, March 2022, and one other scenario (I missed it) In all of them, cash-on-hand (liquidity) keeps dropping BUT stabilizes depending on when/if BSA comes out of bankruptcy and how much it has to pay to settle this bankruptcy. In short: the longer this goes on, the more likely it is BSA runs out of cash. No one denies it and no one thinks BSA or Whitman is lying about that.

Eagle1993 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 What was the pro/con aspect of the "good faith" decision. It sounds like the RSA parties (BSA, LCs, TCC/Coalition) decided they didn't want the "good faith" decision. I'm confused as it sounded like it would be a benefit for the TCC/Coalition.

It would have been. I believe the TCC/Coalition was trying to establish that the judge has ruled the RSA plan (and by extension the full reorganization plan, as currently amended) was determined to have been done in "good faith" so that 1) The Coalition's sweetheart deal (where they get paid ahead of everyone else) is deemed legally OK. 2) The TCC and Coalition can get that "good faith" determination and use it in future legal proceedings against the the Insurance Companies. The theory is that they can say "Judge Silverstein already ruled this RSA plan and its provision that the insurance companies will have to pay at some point in the future was deemed OK and done 'in good faith'." But the problem, and the judge kept asking this over and over is NO ONE, not BSA, not the TCC, not the Coalition, NO ONE would say exactly why they wanted the provision. And the judge expressed her confusion and concern over and over. Moreover, if that provision was kept in, the judge warned she'd allow the insurance companies a LOT of the documents that the insurance companies wanted access to.

The numbers are always given to indicate a need for greater government involvement in all of our lives. I don't want greater government involvement in my life, or the lives of my family. So I reject the numbers. Is this rational thinking? Perhaps not. I am aware of the fact that there are people who want to have greater government involvement in all of our lives. Many of these people are more than willing to fake numbers in order to get what they want. So, I tend to be very suspicious of any numbers that tend to support the political viewpoints of my opponents. Is this rational thinking? Perhaps so.

CO counsel is cross-examining Mr. Whitman of Alvarez and Marsal. Comic relief meister that I am, we had a wonderful hot mic moment. Someone yelled, “Kick it! Kick it!”obviously to their child, but it was well timed to fall in dead space. Then their dog barked. Ha.

So, the 82,500 sexual abuse victims are your "political opponents" because they want greater government involvement? Well, to the extent they want the courts (government) to rule in their favor, yes I guess that would be "greater government involvement". To which I say: fine. Victims get to have their day in court, whether you like it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
