SCO Gets to Dispose or Abandon or Destroy its Property, including Business Records ~pj |

I'm sure you will not be surprised to learn that SCO Group, now calling itself TSG, has been granted its wish by its most reliable fairy godmother, the Delaware bankruptcy court, and will be allowed to destroy or dispose of its remaining business records and computers. Nobody cared enough to intervene to block, not that the outcome would have been any different, I don't think, if they had:
02/20/2013 - 1475 -
Certification of Counsel Regarding Chapter 7 Trustee's Motion for Entry
of an Order Authorizing Abandonment, Disposal, and/or Destruction of
Property and Payment of Related Expenses (related document(s)1474) Filed
by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 7 Trustee. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A # 2
Exhibit B)
(Tarr, Stanley) (Entered: 02/20/2013)
02/20/2013 - 1476 - HEARING CANCELLED/RESCHEDULED. Notice of Agenda of
Matters Scheduled for Hearing. Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 7
Trustee. Hearing scheduled for 2/22/2013 at 10:00 AM at US Bankruptcy
Court, 824 Market St., 6th Fl., Courtroom #3, Wilmington, Delaware.
(Attachments: # 1 Certificate of Service) (Tarr, Stanley) (Entered:
02/20/2013)
02/20/2013 - 1477 - Order
Authorizing Abandonment, Disposal, and/or Destruction of Property and
Payment of Related Expenses (related document(s)1474, 1475) Order Signed
on 2/20/2013. (SB) (Entered: 02/20/2013)
So, about that "dispose" part... I wonder who gets all the materials?
The order just says, in effect, do whatever you said in your motion. And if you recall, the motion said this:
The Trustee is exploring various means of disposing of the Obsolete Property, including, without limitation, hiring a former employee of the Debtors on an hourly basis to determine whether certain of the Obsolete Property contains
confidential information that may require special disposal. Accordingly, the Trustee respectfully requests authority to dispose of any Obsolete Property as the Trustee deems reasonable and appropriate. Special disposal, according to their wish and inclination. And the funny part of this footnote to history is that nobody even cared enough to try to prevent it.
Do you realize Groklaw has been reporting on this crazy SCO saga for ten years as of March May? We're still here. SCO? Not so much.

The article's phrase 'Special disposal, according to their
wish and inclination' caused me a brain spasm. For some reason
I at first read "inclination" as "incineration" ...

I was 44 and young when I joined!
Maybe us Groklaw old hands should throw a party.
Not that many questions don't remain unanswered.

Curious how SCO can destroy its records when there is still a
live court case pending against IBM. Does this mean dismissal
of that case? Or have I missed something?

With all due respect, why don't you mind your own business?

TSG has three rental storage units filled with old business records that it
needs to clean out. Hmm, sounds like a job that is going to require heavy
moving equipment, such as trucks and forklifts, to get all that stuff out of
there. Surely TSG has some of those on hand ... oh wait.
Dec 7, 2009,
Motion to Approve Certain Procedures for the Sale, Transfer or Abandonment
[SCOBK-983]:
"The Trustee anticipates selling various De
Minimis Assets to third parties ... because such De Minimis Assets MAY NO LONGER
BE NECESSARY for operation of the Debtors' businesses .... Such ... Assets may
include ... TRUCKS AND FORKLIFTS ..."
I think we see a
pattern - employees and assets are released, but then hired back after it is
realized that they are still needed. [ Reply to This | # ]

This was the objective of bankruptcy all along.
Ralph started a scam, blew it, and everything after IBM said "see you in
court" has been aiming for this motion to cover his tracks and avoid jail
time for those pesky Lanham Act counterclaims IBM nuked him with.
Well played, Ralph. Here's hoping your next scam plays out in a system that
isn't so easily gamed. [ Reply to This | # ]

From the Wikipedia
article
Bankruptcy fraud is a white-collar crime. While difficult
to generalise across jurisdictions, common criminal acts under bankruptcy
statutes typically involve concealment of assets, concealment or destruction
of documents, conflicts of interest, fraudulent claims, false statements or
declarations, and fee fixing or redistribution arrangements. Falsifications on
bankruptcy forms often constitute perjury. Multiple filings are not in and of
themselves criminal, but they may violate provisions of bankruptcy law. In the
U.S., bankruptcy fraud statutes are particularly focused on the mental state of
particular actions. Bankruptcy fraud is a federal crime in the United
States.
Also see these two references 1 and 2 from http://www.justice.gov
I though that these document had
to be preserved through the liquidation of the company!

Someone should break into their warehouse and scoop up all their old business
documents before they get there to shred them.
...I kid, I kid! Surely all the incriminating stuff was shredded long ago,
anyway.
...Then again, knowing how inept Darl and his SCO minions turned out to be,
maybe they missed some good stuff ?[ Reply to This | # ]

He has lot's of friends around the world that still claim to work for SCO. Also
many friends that have a lot of money and influence in Utah. Then there is his
wife that must be related to former LDS president Spencer Kimball. A lot of
former SCO undrels on FB too.
