Bitcoin mining company NFN8 Group enters Chapter 11 after a catastrophic fire at its Texas facility cut mining capacity by up to 50%, compounding margin pressure from the Bitcoin halving and litigation costs as the company lines up $2.75 million in DIP financing and pursues a court-supervised asset sale.  Luminar Technologies proposes a $143 million liquidation plan, selling its semiconductor and LiDAR businesses in separate transactions that leave first-lien noteholders paid in full while wiping out existing equity after years of mounting losses and a breakdown in its relationship with Volvo. A federal district court remands a $60 million cash-collateral dispute between First Brands Group and Evolution Credit Partners, sending the case back to bankruptcy court for evidentiary proceedings over contested factoring liens and adequate protection.

And a Texas bankruptcy court overrules First Amendment objections to a Rule 2004 examination in the MMA Law Firm case, ordering discovery to proceed in what the court describes as a matter of first impression involving alleged defamatory statements made during bankruptcy proceedings. 💡 From oilfield services and cryptocurrency mining to healthcare, advanced technology, and constitutional issues in bankruptcy discovery, this episode explores how balance-sheet resets, asset sales, and evolving legal boundaries are shaping the latest wave of complex Chapter 11 cases.

    This episode covers key developments in four major restructuring and bankruptcy cases: Hearthside Food Solutions faces a pivotal Texas court ruling that sharply limits post-confirmation bankruptcy jurisdiction, with the court holding it lacks authority to enforce post-confirmation contractual obligations that do not affect plan implementation—while leaving the door open for fraud claims tied to the bankruptcy process itself. The liquidation trustee for National Realty Investment Advisors seeks approval for nearly $97 million in development financing, raising governance questions over whether the Liquidation Trust Advisory Board must approve debt incurred by wind-down entities as the trustee argues development could boost investor recoveries by tens of millions of dollars. Celebration Pointe Holdings files a liquidation plan for its 2-million-square-foot Gainesville mixed-use development, shifting away from reorganization amid pandemic-era disruptions, rising interest rates, and inflation, with unsecured creditors facing uncertain recoveries through a liquidating trust. And Mode Eleven Bancorp asks a Wyoming bankruptcy court to approve a $2 million private sale of Summit National Bank after failed auctions, citing urgent regulatory pressure and receivership risk as it seeks to preserve value following an extensive but unsuccessful marketing process. 💡 From post-confirmation jurisdiction limits and trustee authority to large-scale real estate liquidations and distressed bank sales, this episode examines how legal boundaries, governance disputes, and timing pressures are shaping outcomes in complex Chapter 11 cases.
