While claims involving the "attorney defendants" (Pensley and Halperin), are still unresolved, I expect the resolution of those claims may be vastly different between the two cases.
I think Halperin acted in good faith when he authored some of his opinion letters, specifically those based upon the company being current with their filings. Further, I think the last filing also included a 2009 list of shareholders. If so, then why did the successor trustee fail to notify shareholders of the company's bankruptcy? And why was that list not filed in the bankruptcy proceeding, as is required?
