    Host Gary J.

Ruth describes the setting up and marketing of the continuation vehicle, and the options given to the current fund’s limited partners. Gary and Ruth spend significant time on the conflict of interest issues, and how they are mitigated. Ruth also touches on the necessary disclosures that must be made in the CV’s offering documents.

    Bad Boys of Bankruptcy: S2E8: The Pirates of the Penitentiary

    Stephen Lawrence and Thomas Thompson both sat in prison, holding the proverbial keys to their own cells, for years on end. One was alleged to have stashed assets in an offshore trust before filing for bankruptcy; the other was alleged to have stashed the golden spoils of a shipwreck beyond the reach of creditors. Joined by Professor Christopher Hampson and Mac VerStandig, Judge Gunn explores two cases where people seemingly valued riches over freedom, and how those cases yielded two of the longest stretches of civil incarceration in modern American history.

    Bad Boys of Bankruptcy: S2E7: Vexatious Litigant and Serial Bankruptcy Filer

    In this episode, Judge Elizabeth Gunn is joined by attorneys Abigail Ryan and Jason Binford to discuss the astonishing saga of a relentless debtor who turned the bankruptcy system into his personal battlefield. It began when Abigail Ryan’s client needed to evict a tenant for unpaid rent. But instead of leaving quietly, the tenant filed for bankruptcy, halting the eviction and launching a wave of litigation. As Abigail and Jason soon discovered, he was no stranger to this tactic, filing bankruptcy petitions on the eve of evictions, contempt hearings, and other legal trouble to stall proceedings and frustrate creditors. After exhausting his welcome in state court, where he was declared a vexatious litigant, he shifted to federal court, flooding dockets with motions, adversary proceedings, and procedural maneuvers. Join them for a riveting exploration of legal strategy, courtroom battles, and the fight to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy system from serial abusers.

    Mind The Gap: Episode 23: Challenges for Humans in the Loop

    This is the second of two episodes with MIT Professor David Mindell. In these conversations we are exploring the detailed realities of "human in the loop" systems. In the first session we learned about the Apollo Program's lunar landing control system. In this episode we are going to explore a contemporary human plus computer control system failure involving a US Navy warship. We will be looking at a collision in the Singapore Strait in the pre-dawn darkness of August 21, 2017. The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, determined that the causes of the collision between the destroyer USS John S McCain and the tanker Alnic MC included a lack of effective operational oversight, insufficient training, and inadequate bridge operating procedures. Also contributing to the accident were the McCain bridge team’s loss of situational awareness and failure to follow steering loss emergency procedures.

    Bad Boys of Bankruptcy: S2E6: Forgery and Fire – The Purdy Case

    This case concerns the consequences for debtor misconduct in a Chapter 13 case. The Chapter 13 debtors, Marcus and Amanda Purdy, sought court approval to take out a mortgage to purchase a home, but the court denied the motion to incur debt and the debtor’s motion to reconsider the ruling. Undeterred, the debtors moved forward with obtaining a mortgage to purchase the property, providing a letter to the mortgage lender on the Chapter 13 trustee’s letterhead which was later discovered to have been forged by Mrs. Purdy. When the Chapter 13 trustee discovered the forged letter, he moved to dismiss the debtor’s case with prejudice with a 15-year bar to refiling. The bankruptcy court ultimately granted the motion, dismissing the case and barring Mrs. Purdy from filing for bankruptcy for 10 years, and barring Mr. Purdy, who did not have knowledge of the forged letter, from filing for 5 years. The debtors appealed the order to the district court, which not only affirmed the bankruptcy court, but instructed the clerk to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorneys’ office for criminal prosecution. Mrs. Purdy was thereafter federally prosecuted for mortgage fraud, and in final tragic twist, the home purchased without bankruptcy court authorization wound up burning down a few months after it was purchased. Judge Gunn discusses the bankruptcy case, the appeal to the district court, and the collateral criminal consequences with attorney Landon G. Van Winkle and the U.S. Bankruptcy Administrator (“BA”) for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Brian Behr. Issues discussed include the investigative role of the Chapter 13 trustee and BA’s office into debtor misconduct, the role of local rules in bankruptcy cases, and the penalties debtors may face for violations of court orders in bankruptcy.
