As Semafor reports, sometimes it takes a group of bankruptcy geeks to tell the difference between an easter egg and a time bomb. This letter by a group of law professors explains the risks of the "insolvency safe harbor" in the pending crypto bill. cdn.sanity.io/files/ifn0l6...

“Now I have the financial freedom to pursue my dreams of homeownership,” Ms. Howdyshell said. ‘It was a scary process but worth the gamble.’ “She is just one among the small fraction of borrowers who file adversary proceedings.”

Judge Sooknanan is giving a master class in judging during the Trump Administration -- but really in how judges should always value the people whose lives are affected by their decisions.

It has nothing to do with antisemitism. That’s a cover—for whatever the heck they want to do. And using Jews as a partisan ploy? THAT’S antisemitic.

One key lesson of the PW and Skadden debacles may be that a law firm should not let their transactional lawyers determine their litigation tactics…

WilmerHale was polite, professional, and direct. BigLaw could learn. Now, WilmerHale needs to actually fight this thing out. These orders are blatantly, insanely unconstitutional.

Hate having to share a Substack, but here's one to read. Anyways, the "Not in Our Name" letter has been signed by more than 2,600 US Jewish academics (I'm #144). And frankly, I don't know if there's ever been that much collective consensus by Jews about... anything. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A friend’s disgusted reaction to Paul, Weiss: “So many non-profit lawyers have been so busy working on cases against the unconstitutional actions of the Administration, because the big firm lawyers with multiple houses and cars and boats and every other damn thing are too fucking weak to do it.”

Just to be clear, the executive branch has no constitutional authority to refuse a court appearance on the ground of a unilateral determination that the law favors the president’s position. If the courts don’t push back, the rule of law, always precarious, never perfectly realized, is dead.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Bankruptcy in the news, squared. Although I followed this closely in its earlier chapter 11 iterations, and have studied bankruptcy sales for a long time (with @tjanger.bsky.social) would not have predicted these latest twists and turns.

The CFPB is super popular. They've given 195 million consumers abused by finance companies $19.6 BILLION in actual dollars, principal reductions, canceled debts and similar. It took another $5 BILLION from companies that broke the law. "Terrorizing financial institutions" WHO BREAK THE LAW indeed.

Strategic venue choice has recently been a bit of an embarrassment to the US bankruptcy system, with the “Texas Two-Step” as its apotheosis. Recently, three prominent bankruptcy professors wrote an open letter to UNCITRAL to take that problem global. globalrestructuringreview.com/article/lead....
