Those of us in open states will soon have cases filed in State court (California by end of the year). A BSA Chapter 7 does not include anyone but National. Sadly, those of us in closed states would be left out to dry. This is the only reason I finally gave my support to the plan. As unfair as the SoL situation is, it only gets worse for us in a liquidation. It took me 50 years to actually want to go to court--and I am prohibited from doing so. Missouri tried since 2012 to open up civil csa SoL, but it was always struck down by the insurance companies and the religious lobby. They don't even introduce the bill anymore. So, good for you. I hope you find justice. That is a justice I will likely never find. Edited June 17, 2022 by Eagle1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in California and the LC which I was part of has about 19 million in assets of which under the plan they are giving up about 3 million but that pales in comparison to the insurance companies.

Are those outright owned assets or assets leverages with mortgages and inversions? There are 2 sides to every balance sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the money is more with the insurance companies. My career was in that business and back in the 70's, the policies were generally written on an occurrence basis, without an aggregate limit. Since each incidence of abuse is likely a separate occurrence, that would open up those policies like a fire hose. 2 minutes ago, Tron said: Are those outright owned assets or assets leverages with mortgages and inversions?

It is really as simple as explained. Bankruptcy is a lot of things. Simple isn't one of them. Proclaiming absolutes doesn't make it so. This case is historic in many ways. In the level of abuse and the complexity of the relationship between the debtor, LC's insurers and others. History, the worst sort on many fronts, is being made here. The past might be a small glimpse into what happens but it is in no way an absolute guide. Simple? None of this is. If it were, the judge would have rendered a decision already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the BSA Warehouse Sale as an example; BSA sold it, used some of the proceeds to lease it back, then used some of the proceeds for the settlement fund, then put the rest into paying operating expenses.

Everyone who hopes to get a payday out of this settlement had better pray tonight that BSA doesn't go into Chapter 7. Nice. I asked a question, however compound. Just trying to understand your expertise. I did see the career notation, but not specifically regarding non-profits in Chapter 11. Your aggressive and defensive responses don't help your cause/case, whatever that is beyond the aggression. Part of the repeated suggestion that you read the previous Chapter 11 threads and posts is to give a perspective on some of the reasoned analysis both by other experts and to understand the views and perspectives of those now posting on this topic. Okay. Fire away. I have my shields up and photon torpedoes at the ready. Edited June 17, 2022 by ThenNow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for mentioning that. Probably a good time for me to pop back up. I just want to say thanks to everyone who participates on this and other forums (Fora?). I take my role on the TCC seriously and try to take in opinions on all sides. Like you, the TCC is waiting on the Judge's ruling and anything I'd say about that, or anyone else would say, is pure speculation. As well, while this is ongoing the handcuffs of "Mediation Confidentiality" prohibit my saying too much about the process. I'm grateful to have participated in the confirmation hearing at the beginning and offer some final words to the Court on the last day. It almost made 13 hours of deposition before hand worth it 😉 When this is all over and the handcuffs are off I'll have a LOT more to say. In the meantime, if you're a Survivor please know that the TCC is actively engaged even during this wait and single-focused on advocating for the best possible interests of Survivors. If your focus is on the future or the BSA then know that from the beginning the TCC has been "agnostic" about that since it's the BSA's responsibility. I'm happy that this forum and others exists so my thanks to the mods. Well....back into my cave.... STAY STRONG EVERYONE.

Somewhat random, but related side note as we discuss assets and disposition in various scenarios. During the summer of 2020, the Middle TN Council was "caught redhanded" transferring all of their property and substantive assets to asset protection trusts. Yeah. Exactly. That's a property and tax attorney's way of saying, they tried a sleight of hand, backstage sneekeroo to put its assets beyond the reach of the court and eventual Survivor Settlement Trust. These actions, which were effectuated and available in the public records as deed transfers, were in contravention of the court order and a breach of their disclosure requirements. I know, right? "Trustworthy, loyal..obedient" and all that. I VERY highly doubt this was an isolated incident. The TCC immediately filed an adversarial proceeding to put a stop to it, resulting in a settlement to cease, desist and make provisions for the future treatment of those assets. Yes, there are two side to every balance sheet. Oops. Correction. Might be a third side hiding in the shadows. Just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
