Yes, which is why I'm very interested to see if TCC/FCR (maybe Coalition?) adds into the ballot packet a statement to the effect of "This in our opinion is the best BSA can offer." or even something as far as "We encourage a yes vote."

Yup.

The TCC has stated that it fully expects to have a statement included in any packet related to a vote.  This is pretty standard bankruptcy procedure.  I would assume that it will make its position well known and available for viewing as well.  Remember though that in cases of this size victim attorneys often vote on behalf of their clients since they represent them and it's the client's responsibility to cast his/her vote separately or in consultation with the attorney if represented.

Right, I'm expecting a TCC statement. What I guess I was wondering is if it would be joint (FCR and Coalition) or the TCC alone? And how strong a statement is made.

As for this dingy captain, if there is not a TCC statement in the packet, as BSA previously signaled by saying only supporting comments are allowed, that would pretty much ensure my "No" vote.

Right, I thought that part of the BSA plan was...cute. Only PROponents of the reorg plan would get to put something in the packet. BSA wanted to keep out anything neutral or negative.

New mediation report https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/562a5663-2140-4815-a2c4-13de110eedda_5287.pdf

Cancel June 11 altogether.

The Mediators, having conferred today with certain of the Mediation Parties, including the Debtors, the Ad Hoc Committee of Local Councils, the Tort Claimants’ Committee, the Coalition, the Future Claimants’ Representative and insurers, suggest that the status conference scheduled for Friday, June 11, 2021, be cancelled to permit discussions among the Mediation Parties to continue without interruption.

This has all 3 Mediators on the signature line.

It really feels the are close.  I don't believe there would be time to exit this in failure.  Then have TCC/BSA present updated plans.  Obtain objections/support for those plans.  Hold a couple of hearings.  Then a plan for vote.  Wait for the results.  Review the results and finally approve the plan by September (or October or possibly even November).  What is the point.  They need to exit mediation with an agreement from TCC & the Coalition.  The only other option at this point would be liquidation and I don't see that as a viable path.

Their plan better be substantial with clear numbers and procedures.  If not we are going to see an overwhelming no vote.  The BSA also can’t go ahead and try to make “easy settlements” with the masses.  If they’re looking to just buy off quick yes votes and cause some sort of voter fraud in this bankruptcy, get ready to see all hell break loose.

BSA's been pretty clear about its numbers. What numbers do you think would be hidden or not clear?

And how do you propose BSA not do that? In bankruptcy, there is always a "nuisance payment" or "nuisance settlement" scheme where those with a claim can take $X now and waive all claims without having to prove them.

Are you suggesting that BSA and the court go through all 82,500 claims NOW to ensure no "voter fraud" (which is what the insurance companies want)? That would take years.

Insurance rights and LC contributions.  Only National BSA has been fairly straightforward.

I’m suggesting those missing information be ineligible to vote if they can’t provide a reason.

Insurance rights wouldn't and couldn't be determined for years if they have to go through all 82,500 claims. I believe the plan(s) call for the Settlement Trustee to figure this out post-BSA bankruptcy.

And LCs I agree: either an aggregate agreement in writing or council-by-council numbers.

Ok, how much "missing" information until a person doesn't get a vote? I'm not being mean here, this is what the insurance companies are saying as well.

Insurance rights won't be "clear" until eyeballed from the rearview. We'll see on the LCs. It has to have some clarity coming out of the mediation. I go back to the previously well made point that the BSA managed to tick off both the TCC and the Coalition in stereo. Now, they have to contend with them in lockstep, effectively a bulwark against shenanigans.

If someone doesn’t even remember the name/place of occurrence/date of occurrence.  If they can remember two of those three I’d give them a vote.

How about how much time has past from the abuse, trying to keep it out of your mind for 40 to 50 years and now you are 70 or 80 years old and memories are not what they used to be.  Good enough?
