Terrible loss for the bankruptcy and business law communities: Kevin Carey (USBC-DE, ret) passed away 4/11. He was a great friend, mentor and role model to many of us, a lion of the bankruptcy bar. Hearts with the Carey family. https://t.co/syFkYrvEcl
@daskeel@Tony_J_Casey With luck, they will recognize that, while appointment may be mandatory, judges have discretion to determine scope. Our brief suggested several key areas of focus, to avoid duplication. Underlying facts of FTX are problematic, as our brief explains: https://t.co/yPeQOEoFiC
Very excited that new episode of Bankruptcy for Billionaires, on SCOTUS decision to take Purdue Pharma case, is now available on Spotify, etc! https://t.co/egVRUSp9ZB
Thanks to Bloomberg for invitation to expose the Purdue Pharma plan's 'bureaucracy of harm'--its Kafkaesque process to assert personal injury claims. https://t.co/00i2VmtWuj
Ok, I may be biased, but I LOVE this story in Barnard Magazine about the amazing work my wife, Kathleen Noonan, and the Camden Coalition are doing. So great, and so PROUD!

Grateful to @DashDobrofsky for this insightful, smart, generous interview about #RaisingLazarus wherein we parse the folly of the War on Drugs, billionaire justice, and the revolving door. https://t.co/Y9IU0nUaZE
Malvern-based opioid manufacturer Endo paid out millions in two rounds of bonuses to corporate leaders in the months before filing for bankruptcy. Prof. @Jonathan_Lipson says people should ask why the company is rewarding those who oversaw its demise. https://t.co/XL8out0k6N
If you think the tort system is irreparably broken, and that bankruptcy is the best solution to massive loss, consider this story about the rapid resolution of the Surfside condo collapse. More to learn here, but useful counterpoint.
