  1. If Hartford settlement 2.0 is still tethered to a Century 1.3B contribution, she has no basis to approve a Plan Disclosure Statement. Is it 800M, 500M, 300M? If so, it never goes out for a vote. By the time the carriers’ lawyers get finished with the Coslition mass torters’ aggregators, the Coalition will have less street cred than it has now which has been thoroughly crushed by the court. I’m surprised the C hasn’t imploded by now. I want to see TCC step up and show us the money. Show us their super duper plan.
  2. Can CerebralScouter, er, CynicAlScouter remind us if BSA exclusivity has expired? Stang said something a while back along the lines that he has a BSA only plan he wants to file. Does anyone know if that’s in the works? The way he alluded to it it sounded like maybe Toggle Plus.
  3. There so much more to this and I know it’s been suggested to go elsewhere with this topic/thread. I’d love to do that, if anyone else is interested. MCVAStory has posted other great stuff, as I recall. For what it’s worth to anyone: There is remarkable research by Harvard Med School professors that involved MRI brain scans of adult survivors of sexual abuse that show how the developing brain was altered by the stress hormones. I’ll dig out the article.
  4. Who says it has to be nation-wide? If people from closed states have no right to compensation, then they can’t be creditors. Their claim is worth zero, right? So then why do you need a discharge order that applies to them? If down the road more states pass windows and claims mount, you go back in to another Ch 11. Happened all the time in asbestos.
  5. No I don’t but there is no amount of money that can compensate these men. In the real world plaintiffs rarely if ever get 100%. CS, you keep switching back and forth it like watching a tennis match. You chide me for making the moral case and demand that I give you the LEGAL case. When I give you the LEGAL case of a consensual settlement including the carriers you switch back to the moral case of fairness. You asked me a legal question and I gave you the LEGAL answer. The only way for BSA to escape this cockroach motel is for the parties to get a number with the carriers that is achi
  6. Why was it necessary to seek a nationwide discharge? Who did that benefit? Notice of what? We intend to pay you nothing and extinguish your legal rights forever. But come forward and disclose your most painful memories and be retraumatized? You keep using the word conspiracy not me. A conspiracy is simply an agreement to do something unlawful or something lawful by unlawful means. This was not a conspiracy but it was an agreement the effect of which leaves 50,000 victims out in the cold. Sort out SOL issues later like now? How’s that working out?
  7. No. That claimant is not classified as a future claimant. He’s a claimant who will lose his legal rights forever even if his abuse state opens a window one day after BSA gets its discharge. Heads BSA wins, tails you lose. Everyone knows these claimants have no reason to support a plan like that so the lawyers offered 3500 bucks to shut up and go away. That still won’t cut it, so they want to take away their vote.
  8. That’s exactly what happened, didn’t it? In my world I don’t reveal sources and methods.
  9. The only legal mechanism in Ch 11 is a consensual plan which includes the insurance carriers. I believe the carriers want to resolve this case but can’t come to the table because of the counter productive actions of the TCC, FCR and especially the Coalition. As I stated before the carriers arguments are “mostly” BS but not entirely so. The carriers need “process” and they haven’t gotten enough in their view and that’s the only thing that matters. The judge SHOULD grant their 2004 motion tomorrow at least in a pared down form. I heard in one of the carrier’s arguments an ope
  10. No. You keep mixing apples and horse pucky. The agreement was to support a national discharge of all victims knowing survivors in non window states would be forever barred with no chance of getting fair value for their claims. In just eighteen months five more states opened. im not saying all these survivors would get justice but look what happened for victims who were screwed when NY,NJ, CA, North Carolina, AR, LA, DC. They got lucky, is that your filter of justice? Dumb luck? Tell me why BSA should continue. If the BSA’s fate was in the hands of a jury on its history
  11. I want fairness for all bona fide claimants regardless of statutes, absence of insurance or other technical defenses. only two questions: what did he/they do to you and how did it impact you? in this case the answers to those questions would play out on a bell curve with 80% of the awards within 5-10% of each other. The other 20% would fall at the ends of the curve. That’s what happens in every sexual abuse bankruptcy.
  12. Stang and the TCC signed the RSA. What are you talking about?
  13. By the way: you know who did NOT file any objections to the BSA plan for soliciting and notifying victims? AIS. If Kosnoff, AVA, or anyone else had a problem they could have filed objections. The insurers did. The TCC did. AIS never did. At the time AIS was represented by the TCC. The TCC represented the AIS claimants indeed all claimants interests at that time. That objection was filed on behalf of all survivors. The objection was fine and it got some of what it wanted but please don’t conflate a nation-wide noticing campaign intended t
  14. C’mon CS be straight. There is nothing in the TCC objection opposing the nation-wide noticing. These were objections about the budget and the length of the claims bar period. Don’t parry with things that aren’t relevant to the point you are attempting to rebut.
  15. Then what are they worrying about. They’ll do just fine in state court, right?
  16. That may be true but it is not analogous when a judge is entering orders that affect the rights of thousands of non-parties and ruling on motions without being adequately “advised in the premises.”
  17. The solicitation to all survivors in all states was cooked up long before Feb 2020. Stang was talking with Andolina for more than a year prior AND getting paid by BSA, to boot. I recall in an early filing BSA reported having paid Stang several hundred thousand dollars pre-filing. Stang was fully in bed with BSA staring lovingly in to each other’s eyes. One of the items of their pillow talk was how to ensure BSA et al got nation-wide immunity. That could only be done in Ch 11 if BSA ran a nation-wide noticing/solicitation program. This was fully baked in many months before the bk was filed
  18. After sitting on these motions for seven months, she put them both on for hearing Monday. That tells me she is going to grant both motions, perhaps in some truncated form. Century Chubb will appeal. Will the survivors’ reps cooperate or likewise appeal?
  19. CS, please read my post again, relax and think about it some more. You have a sharp analytical mind but you are operating with a flawed understanding of bankruptcy.
  20. You misunderstand. She has no authority to adjudicate any unliquidated claim. She cannot rule one way or the other on SOL or any claim or defense. Every claimant has the right to adjudicate his claim in state or federal court. She has no power to strip them of that right. It’s in the bankruptcy code. As for blood from a turnip you are mixing apples and oranges. The case will either win claimant approval or it won’t and BSA will fail, which seems more likely. Whatever blood gets extracted from BSA et al is what it is. I’m talking about morality and fairness
  21. “There’s too much confusion, can’t get no relief.” First, SOL is not an on/off switch. It is nothing more than a DEFENSE to a lawsuit. Defenses like plaintiff complaints require proof. There are defenses to the defense of SOL. Fraudulent concealment, disability tolling, repressed memory, the location of the tort is not where the abuse occurred but in the board meeting rooms in Washington DC, New Brunswick, NJ where the negligent acts of commission or omission took place. These are complex discovery matters involving documents, depositions of current and former executives and boa
