gpurlee Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I have not heard the specific number (or taken time to count the filings), but hundreds if not thousands of chartered organizations also filed claims to protect their interests. They are now being notified that they will be receiving the disclosure information and an accompanying ballot. It will be interesting to see how the non-LDS organizations vote. I suspect that most will vote as a bloc following the recommendation of their national organization. In addition, weren't there several others such as suppliers who also filed claims? And would they not also have the right to cast a vote? In a close vote, every vote can have an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sex abuse claimants are their own class and must approve by 2/3 for BSA and likely 75 to 90%+ if LCs and COs are included. One addition wrinkle. There is a debate if those that select $3500 immediate payout are the same class as the other CSA claimants. There are others that are arguing those outside SOL are a different class. Those decisions will be made later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThenNow Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 5 hours ago, vol_scouter said: As a board member, I receive council information. Since this chapter 11, the legal counsel requested that we not release any information. Whenever the attorney advises that the information can be released, the council will do so. My actions are in keeping with my obligations as a board member and in keeping with the Scout Law. How do you discern the fiduciary line of whom you are to serve first and most aggressively? Here it is Local Council (and I know and your Scouts), but is the rationale you’re doing “your duty to God and your country, obeying the Scout Law” then, in descending order of priority “help(ing) other people at all times”? There are tens of thousands of you/their/somebody’s former Scouts on this side of the information vacuum. It seems Local Councils, legal advice or not, didn’t make any of the lists, that I recall. I bailed 40 years ago, so I’m rusty. It seems what is most protected in this entrenched unwillingness to disclose is the truth or falsity about someone’s financial representations. One or t’other. I am not poking or judging. You went to the fiduciary defense and to the Scout law, so I’m just askin. I’ve been in very tough spots where I had to determine to whom I owed the highest degree of loyalty and honor, based on the true sense of a fiduciary and the vulnerability of one party vs the power and leverage of the other. The word literally means “trust,” as in trustworthy. We’re just asking for the truth, on which all trust is built. “On advice of counsel” doesn’t show up in any of the Scout guidelines, Law, Oath, rules, Motto or the old Leni Lenape recitations from OA. Not even the Slogan or Outdoor Code, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be building up a nice malpractice case if he is putting stuff out through AIS (as I thought AIS was a shell of 3 combined firms. You might get more from his law firm and their insurance than BSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Oct 14, 2021 For comparison: A federal bankruptcy court in Minnesota has accepted a reorganization plan that would compensate sexual abuse survivors in the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota signed off on the plan on Thursday after it was submitted by the diocese and the Committee of Unsecured Creditors, who represent the 145 abuse survivors. The diocese and committee reached a settlement in February for $21.5 million. Terms of the plan confirmed Thursday by the court call for the creation of a trust fund totaling just over $22,000,000 to compensate the survivors. It covers Diocesan assets, including the disposition of specific Diocesan assets and insurance coverage settlements of $6.5 million. The diocese filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2018. Since then, the diocese said it's been working toward a resolution of claims against the diocese and non-diocesan Catholic entities within the diocese. The statement from the diocese said the plan also includes the "implementation of enhanced non-monetary protocols for the protection of children which were first implemented by the diocese in 2002.

I was told the TCC answered 200+ in an hour. Gimme a break. This show ain’t ready for the road. Lotta dog. No pony or saddle-ready cowboys.

Rothweiler looked scared, rattled, unprepared and cotton-mouthed. I’m not just saying that. As a stage and production guy, it was a red hot Hot Chicken mess. Swing and a whiff. By a mile. I would like to hear from any Coalition client(s) who came away with overwhelming confidence in their counsel and advice given. Anyone?
