This is just the beginning of the Chapter 7 of this saga.
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 16 2012 @ 03:29 PM EDT
Even if Judge Gross does convert the cases to Chapter 7, it's not over
immediately thereafter. Something has to happen in the way of an outcome to the
IBM litigation. Then there's the liquidation itself, which only happens after
the Chapter 7 conversion has happened. I'm betting that Blank Rome is timing it
so that every last penny is used up paying their own bills so that there is
absolutely nothing left for anybody else. In which case, it will still be at
least 6 months to a year before the final chapter is fully closed.

Blank Rome -- feather touchdown
Authored by: nola on Thursday, August 16 2012 @ 03:32 PM EDT
What's the betting that Ch. 7 is wrapped up as the last Blank Rome bill takes
the
accounts to zero. A classic feather-touch financial landing. These folks seem to

have the skills, from whet we've seen so far

So who foots the bill for the IBM litigation expenses?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 16 2012 @ 03:57 PM EDT
The lawyers are paid through the end of the IBM case (good foresight there by
Darl McBride). But BSF isn't eating the expenses (at least, they aren't if I
recall correctly).

So who's going to pay the court costs and expenses? BSF? Cahn? Blank Rome?
It won't be the estate, at least not for much of a court case, because there's
only $100K left in that piggy bank.

Linux got big.
McBride surfaced.
We saw $$$.
We got smug.
We gambled.
We lost.
We owe.
We're owned.
We're no more.

What about David Boies?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 16 2012 @ 09:05 PM EDT
There was something with that man. Hmm, let me think. Oh, yes, didn't he get a
promise of millions and a warm hand?

That must hurt.

Unpaid Blank Rome's bills cover June'11 to July'12 in fact
Authored by: Baud on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 09:54 AM EDT
MOR indicates that Blank Rome has not been paid since 2/29/12 when it received a check for period May'11.
So unpaid bills (80% fees + 100% expenses) are:

June'11 . . . . . . .: $19509.60 + $119.42
July'11 . . . . . . .: $24113.60 + $581.47
August'11 . . . . . .: $21800.40 + $667.17
September'11 . . . . : $21444.40 + $667.81
October'11 . . . . . : $10831.60 + $257.25
November'11 . . . . .: $ 6340.00 + $265.07
December'11 - May'12 : $34601.78 (pj)

Total: $141,199.57 (greater than what's left in bank account: $133,868)

Anyway, according to June MOR, status of unpaid post-petition chapter 11 fees amounts to $347,332.

Game Over!
