Chapter 11 Announced - Part 7 - Plan 5.0 - Voting/Confirmation


Recommended Posts

BSA just filed several updates to depositions they had scheduled.  All were going to occur tomorrow, but they have been delayed to Jan 19 - 21.  Still waiting to see the final vote posted.

Also note that the judge is fully booked Wednesday this week.  So, no clues found looking at the rest of her schedule.  It actually looks like she is pretty booked until January 24.

As the time that a vote total approaches, I encourage everyone to repeat the Scout Oath and Law several times to remind us how to treat one another.  There are victims here who wish for the plan

I just finished reading Bates' report.  Now I have a headache.  It's well-written, but a bunch of spin.  So we're too old to deserve a decent settlement?  While I get the sol issue, if a suit is valid

66% is the threshold for a bankruptcy.  However, WSJ was reporting even BSA admitted they needed 75% which they didn't reach.  There are two issues that the 73% causes. One will be with Silverste

Almost no change to the direct abuse claim vote.  There were some minor changes on opt out number.  Also, BSA may object to some master ballots based on their questions about proper power of attorney paperwork.   However, the master ballots themselves passed review and were accepted.

That is progress. Now the ball is fully in the judges court. Time to make decisions and get this case moving forward.

As Omni suggested. Knowing a little about some of the firms who used the ballot, I would be surprised if they failed to button up and batten down the hatches on their paperwork.

Even if you throw out 100% of master ballots you don't hit 90% approval which has been the case referenced by most as the value needed.  

It's too bad the hearing was cancelled today.  It would have been good to hear from the judge.  It feels that they are just burning cash right now without clear direction.

You suggested several reasons for the cancellation. I’ve been asking everyone I know who might have a clue, including insiders and press. No one has been able to say. If weather, how can that shut down a hearing that is 100% virtual, other than Judge’s chambers? I guess the Delaware forecast might justify that and this is, after all, just another bankruptcy hearing, other than for those fully vested. As to COVID among key players, I suppose we may never know. I have had all three strains, but count myself blessed not to have been extremely sick. For 98% of the people I know who have/had Omicron, they are mostly working through with limited impact.

Would someone clarify the meaning of the "opt out" and "$3500"?  If the $3500 box was checked, are those basically settled out thereby reducing the number of claimants?  Or would they take $3500 and remain in play somehow?  

Opt Out - That is a question for sex abuse claimants for non abuse claims.  So, if you check "opt out" that means you can sue all of the protected parties (BSA, Coalition, COs, insurance companies, Omni, TCC, etc.) for non abuse claims.  

$3500 - Do they simply want the $3500, no questions asked, no ability to claim more (in terms of direct abuse)

Two separate and independent questions.  Note that the opt out was very confusing.  I think many may be confused as I've seen letters where they "opt out" so they can sue their CO ... but they voted Accept.  That means they can only sue their CO for non abuse claims.

A bit of insight from Prof. Jacoby's twitter feed:

She doesn't expect this to be the last word on this vote ... expect both sides to fight to get votes removed.

Steep battle expected to get this plan approved.  (Based on prior tweets issues include voting results, requested releases)

And now a group of insurance companies have asked the courts time to deal with a bunch of coalition law firms stonewalling them.  

Microsoft Word - Boy Scouts - Motion to Clarify Scope of Law Firm Discovery 4869-9614-2346 v.1 (omniagentsolutions.com)

Basically, the law firms objected to this discovery due to privilege.  The judge overruled their objection.  Now the law firms are refusing to answer the questions.

I don't think I am cut out to be a judge.  It feels like she is herding cats.  It seemed clear what she approved and now it seems like she is being ignored.   If I were here, I would be angry about this ... but perhaps that is just how law is practiced.
